Nutrition – Can You Outrun The Fork?
Ever wonder why after your hard work in the gym you still feel like you’re having trouble reaching your goals? More often than not, it’s your… DIET! In reality, your workout is not really complete until you put the right fuel into your body.
Breaking old eating habits can be HARD and with so many different products claiming to be "good for you" it can be difficult to determine who is telling the truth and who just wants your money.
At One to One, we encourage good nutrition by offering everyone a complimentary Nutrition Consultation with our certified nutrition consultant. Many people are surprised at how much progress they make improving their eating habits and food choices after just one consultation.
We work with you to create a lifestyle change that actually fits YOUR life. Working with our nutrition consultant will:
- Maximize the benefits of your workouts,
- Assist in your workout recovery time,
- Teach you to plan and prepare meals to maximize your free time,
- Get healthy well balanced meals on the table faster, and
- Provide the education necessary to make you a smarter shopper and support your health goals.
Why do the Nutrition and Fitness programs at One to One complement each other so well?
- Exercise alone will not give you the best results in terms of fat loss.
- Nutrition alone cannot maintain or build muscle mass, which is required to boost your metabolic rate.
To be your healthiest, you need to achieve balance between work and play, balance between exercise and rest, and optimal balance on your plate.
Liz Manwaring Shares Her Passion For Good Nutrition With One To One Clients

“The reason I became a holistic nutrition consultant is quite simply because real food changed my life. When I started to learn, through experience, that real food has the power to make you feel great, and that the side effect was fat loss, increased energy, and a generally happier me, I knew I had to share the good news with others who are facing the same circumstances I was for several years. I was feeling stuck with low energy, poor digestion, and disrupted sleep. I was overweight and felt weak and tired all the time. Now I feel great, and love helping others feel great too”
Moving towards a healthier lifestyle made infinitely easier with good nutritional support.
Regularly scheduled appointments with the Fitness and Nutrition team at One to One allow you to discuss your challenges and triumphs. Take advantage of materials such as information handouts and articles, and especially delicious healthy recipe options will keep you learning and motivated to continue working towards your goals.
Making the shift to a healthier lifestyle does not have to be an instant overhaul of your current diet.
One to One approaches diet modification in steps, educating about the changes made along the way. This gives you the knowledge you need to understand why you’re making better decisions. Not just doing things because you “should” but rather because you genuinely believe it’s the best option for you… perhaps the only option for you. Using knowledge as the foundation for your healthful practices is the best recipe for continued success with your nutrition and fitness goals.

It’s not just what you do; it’s why you’re doing it.
The main goal is to achieve a healthy lifestyle. Fat loss, and ideal weight maintenance, on top of increased energy, better mental alertness, better fitness performance, improved digestion, reduced dependence on pain medications and other prescriptions, etc., are all the positive reinforcement, and by-product of your new found balance. Addressing likes and dislikes, busy schedules, food sensitivities and allergies, and chronic conditions, helps you achieve your body composition goals in an efficient and healthy way.
What's Your Ideal Nutrition Plan
Get Real
As an essential foundation for your healthy lifestyle, getting real helps you take stock of where you are, learn what you want to know, and develop the tools you need to achieve your goals. Ask yourself:
- Are you ready to learn more about the foods and eating habits that may be making you unhealthy?
- Are you ready to learn more about what your body needs to increase energy, improve immunity, reduce fat, and improve overall health?
- Are you ready to move your health up to the top of your priority list?
- Are you ready to rediscover the enjoyment of REAL food?
If you answered YES to all of these questions, then you are ready to Get Real about Nutrition.
Essential tools for Getting Real – all you need to bring is an open mind:
- Re-discovering what REAL food is.
- Creating balance on your plate – within a meal, within a day, within a week (small picture to big picture).
- Teaching WHY real food makes such a difference.
- Meal log analysis to determine what is working for you and what is working against you.
- Identifying goals and the route to achieving them.
Get Lean
Once getting real establishes the fundamentals and initiates fat loss, a more focused effort on optimizing your workouts and nutritional support will accelerate your body composition goals. Your plan will include various options that ensure adequate intake and timing of protein to facilitate lean muscle gains. Further reduction of high glycemic carbs will help increase fat loss as well.

Get Well
Getting well puts more focus on addressing specific conditions related to or affected by certain foods, such as:
- Chronic pain
- Inflammation
- Diabetes
- Acid reflux/indigestion
- Food allergies/sensitivities
- Asthma
- IBS and IBD
- Cancer
- Skin conditions
- Etc…
By addressing nutritional deficiencies and understanding your sensitivities/allergies, we will build a personal health promotion plan. You will learn about the power of different foods and supplements for reducing inflammation and supporting recovering.
The One to One approach allows for tailoring of your nutrition program to focus on those areas most pertinent to your health, nutrition, and fitness goals. Everyone needs to establish a solid foundation based on real food, but your program can be entirely individualized for your needs and goals.

Nutrition Consultant
“The nutrition program alone was working great but I was impatient for results. Combining the nutrition program with strength training really helped me accelerate fat loss and ensured the weight stayed off. Of course, the one-on-one attention and encouragement was also a huge help.” John
"The decision to go with both the nutritional and fitness training has really paid off for me. Weight loss along with strength and conditioning have come much more quickly than I would have imagined possible. Over 25 pounds lost in 9 weeks with a comparable improvement in my sense of overall fitness. The approach at One to One combines seriousness and intensity with relaxed, individually-driven goal-setting. The staff is knowledgeable, motivating and enjoyable to spend time with. I look forward to the consultations and the workouts each week. This has been a tremendously positive change in my life." Chris Elson
"The combination of strength training and nutritional advice at One-to-One worked really well for me. I'm a super busy person, so the time-saving of once-a-week training and a weight-loss menu plan that was organized with time efficiency in mind was hugely important. Liz and Matt and the others at One-to-One are a pleasure to work with." Shirley Tillotson
