Testimonials

Before my sessions with Tami, I had a very hard time sticking to my diet. I tried to limit my calories and thought that as long as I stayed within my allotted calories I would lose weight. While that may be technically true – I was always hungry and it was very hard to limit my calories based on the food I was eating. Tami taught me that not all calories are created equal. She designed a sensible plan for me that was very easy to follow. I am still following the plan over a year later, and have never once felt hungry or deprived. I have lost over 60 pounds and feel better than I ever. I am very grateful to Tami and her help in the achievement of my goals.

On May 22 I celebrated my one-year anniversary of eating differently. In that time I lost 60 pounds – and so did my husband. We both recognized that the concepts Tami was teaching me made sense for both of us. We don’t enjoy cooking but we love to eat out. So our challenge was how to lose weight and still dine out. After some sessions with Tami, I learned about food really for the first time. Tami’s very customized approach was great because solutions were designed just for me. I learned quickly how to:

• make wise food choices and size portions to what was best for me
• get the right balance of carbs, proteins and fats for my situation
• be a smart snacker (I had to learn to eat more often!)

The great thing is, once I understood how to eat well I haven’t been restricted to a particular menu, I don’t have to buy any prepackaged meals and best of all, I don’t have to cook to get results. I can go to virtually any restaurant and ‘design’ a meal that works for me. I feel a lot of freedom with this approach and by practicing what I’ve learned, I’ve lost weight and am maintaining the loss!

I wish to thank you for your time in meeting with me to discuss my nutritional needs. I had never met with a registered dietitian before, and found myself in amazement of your knowledge, as well as your patience with my many questions. I plan to follow your advice to a “T.” You gave me many helpful suggestions, as well as some wonderful sounding recipes. Even though we only met for 1 session, I feel I became a healthier person, and can’t tell you how much I appreciate it.

It was terrific conversing with you and I felt totally at ease learning from you. Thank you for delivering your suggestions so professionally. I look forward to having the opportunity to sign up for more sessions in the future.

In the past 5 years, I met with several different nutritionists and no one helped me. I was frustrated and very skeptical about meeting w/anyone else. I was looking for someone with superior dietetic knowledge who could help me improve my poor health and crate a flexible and effective eating plan that I could adhere to daily. I found this with Tami Broderick!

Her knowledge of food and exercises is incredible and she has made the eating plan so easy to follow. I have been able to stick w/my eating plan, gain muscle, energy and feel great every day. I have finally learned to eat for the rest of my life.

Also, Tami is extremely supportive and responsive to all my calls and emails. I will be working with Tami for a very long time. I couldn’t be happier with the results as well as gaining a friend.

 ………3 months ago, I walked into Tami Broderick’s office suffering from obesity (more than 30% body fat), feeling chronic fatigue (which prevented me for exercising regularly) and feeling hungry all day, from trying to reduce my caloric intake on my own, with a high carbohydrate base diet. At age 55, a daunting challenge to conquer!

During our first visit, Ms. Broderick’s showed a keen interest in understanding my current eating habits, my various activity levels and goals for the future. After tailoring a detailed nutritional program and performing a metabolic test (pain free), in just 2 short weeks, I was able to start walking/running on a regular basis. As we monitored my progress with follow up visits, which included fat % calculations, Ms. Broderick took copious notes from my feedback session, and made changes/recommendations to the program accordingly. (It is important to mention that Ms. Broderick’s program is not tied up to any special branded “diet” products)

After just 10 weeks, results were impressive. My fat % have gone down to 19% (a 37% improvement) and my energy was as such a level which allowed me to complete a half-marathon, yes ALL 13.1 miles! In addition to reaching these amazing thresholds, my cholesterol levels were slashed down 30% and triglycerids down 68%. As a result, my MD lowered by cholesterol medication dosage in half. Not a bad “value added” benefit from eating better, feeling energized, and enjoying life to the fullest!

When I first went to Healthy Fit Nutrition I weighed 287 lbs and had been in the emergency room twice for serious diabetic related health problems. My weight had fluctuated as I tried and then failed just about every recognized diet plan. During these diets I was always miserable, hungry, and regularly would hit plateaus where I’d lose no weight and become frustrated.

Healthy Fit Nutrition prepared a custom meal plan specifically for my needs and medical conditions. I was able to lose weight at a steady, healthy pace. In the past five months I’ve lost 57 lbs and reduced my A1C (blood sugar) from 8.1 to 5.3. They also educated me on my diabetic condition in a way that was easy to understand. The best part was my meal plan taught me how to change to a new, healthier lifestyle without being hungry all the time.

I can’t thank Healthy Fit Nutrition enough for giving me the tools to manage my weight and diabetes.

Dear Tami

Your program has made a huge difference in my life and I want to express my thanks and appreciation. Mine is a real success story. The pre-diabetic diagnosis was a surprise and a bit of a shock. But the upside to the discovery was that my physician’s referral to you for nutritional counseling has enabled me to deal very effectively with this potential health threat and has helped me to understand and modify my sugar processing.

My results of working with you over the last five months can only be regarded as dramatic. You’re your program, my body fat percentage declined more than 7%. My body weight dropped 12 pounds, but more importantly, I lost 16 pounds of body fat while gaining 4 pounds of lean body mass. Plus there have been significant decreases in my blood glucose levels. Both of my physicians are pleased. At the age of 73, I feel better and have more energy than I have in years.

While all of the above is important, the real benefit of your counseling is all I have learned about choosing the right foods, eating correctly and integrating exercise into mylifestyle. These are the lessons I will be using the rest of my life.

Thanks again for all of your advice.
