NO? MAYBE?In this day and age, between all of the media hype around food trends, we’re constantly bombarded with mixed messages about what constitutes good nutrition. The conflicting information about healthy diets for reaching and sustaining your ideal weight is even more perplexing!The result of this confusion? We often jump on the next sensationalized nutrition kick… which we eventually abandon when we experience low energy, hunger pains, health problems, poor concentration, weight gain or mood swings – the very things that we we’re trying to remedy in the first place.  Not to mention all of the ways we may sabotage our best efforts by rebounding to the unhealthy – yet all-too-familiar – eating habits we’ve developed over time.Fortunately, Your Optimal Diet is here to help you make sense of it all and get to the truth of what YOUR body really needs. You’ll discover that when it comes to what’s truly good for YOU, one size does NOT fit all – which is why the emergent field of Personalized Nutrition holds the key for REAL sustainable results – for your health, your weight, your energy, and even your emotional well-being.The Future of Nutrition is Here, and It’s Getting Personal…You may already feel like you know a lot about nutrition.
