Healthy Eating
“This program was just what I was looking for, and it was surprisingly simple and easy to do. It gave me the confidence that I can eat with control without depriving myself. Now food and meals are no longer an issue for me. I accomplished everything I wanted, stopped going to Weight Watchers, and gained the insight and tools to stay in control around food and manage my weight. I highly recommend healthy lifestyle coaching. It feels great to do and its easy to stick with.”
“I feel like I’ve gotten the key to consistently eating healthier and being free of cravings and my sugar addiction. I didn’t have to totally change the way I eat, which was great.
Instead Alice’s unique approach gave me an easy and enjoyable way to eat more vegetables, plan and prepare healthier foods and balance my foods so I feel better. I am no long tired all the time, nor do I eat in a reactive way. Now I feel healthier, have steadier energy and am in a better a mood; and it was nice to lose some weight.
For those who have tried other approaches to getting a handle on food and are still stuck, this works. One thing I really appreciated was the non-judgmental and positive approach that allowed me to come up with my own food choices and experiment with strategies that worked best for me. I highly recommend this coaching program to others.”
“The Intuitive Eating program provided me with subtle, daily opportunities to tune into the what, when, why and how I eat. I am now able to identify my body’s hunger and satisfaction signals, and I’ve discovered that I can very easily stop before getting full. Thanksgiving was a big test, and I didn’t even have the desire to keep eating as I did in the past. I have also become more conscious of which foods I enjoy and which ones I eat out of habit, and this has been an eye opener. The lessons I have learned will be with me always.”
“Alice, Thank you! You have provided me with a simple way to enjoy eating healthier foods without having to give up what I love. The intuitive shift for me has been amazing. I now easily stop eating before I get full and am more satisfied with each meal. I also understand what it takes to keep me motivated to exercise regularly and how to get back on track if I ever get derailed again.
What I appreciate is how you provided accountability without pressure, guided me at my pace without overwhelming me, and helped me uncover what was sabotaging my results so I can succeed at living a healthier life. I feel confident about staying in control, trusting my intuition and sticking with a healthy and fit routine as a way of life. Your program makes it so easy and realistic to stay fit and make healthier choices. This experience is exactly what I was looking for!”
“My goals were to feel more confident, be at my best and feel good, when I signed up for the Eating program, and I can honestly say I feel really good now. I also wanted to feel empowered and not like a victim with food, and I accomplished that. I can look at what I’m doing with food objectively and not judge myself for my behavior. The tools really helped me identify emotional eating patterns and make progress in minimizing them. So now I feel confident about maintaining a healthy approach to eating and reducing my health risks.
I have Alice to thank for her approach, the structure of the program, and her way of assisting and motivating me without pressure. She kept me on track one step at a time, and it was a process that allowed me to be wherever I was. I have learned a lot, and I have been given skills I will always be able to use. I really like how the program is designed, and I am very satisfied. Thanks Alice, you really helped me.”
“I no longer eat with anxiety. I’ve struggled with food for years and felt hopeless. Now I eat what I want in balance, without overeating or having cravings and obsessions. This is amazing! Alice’s approach has given me freedom.”
“I found the Intuitive Eating workshop very helpful and informative. I learned that I am not alone in dealing with eating issues. I now understand that I don’t have to feel so badly about the way I’ve been eating, and that to feel responsible and guilty about it would only set me back rather than understanding why and dealing with the cause. The group workshop taught me awareness about when, what and why I eat. So I have been able to make changes that work for me and to curb my chocolate addiction. It no longer holds the grip over me that it used to, and I still get to enjoy it in moderation. It is a win-win approach.”
“Alice has been extremely instrumental in making a difference in my emotional and unconscious eating behaviors. When I made the first call to Alice, I had binged the night before. We talked about how refined sugar can really be addictive and how she could help.
Alice went above and beyond my expectations! She helped me overcome childhood voices in my head of “not wasting food”, fears of eating leftovers, and “eating everything on my plate”. She helped me to develop strategies for social situations so that I don’t set myself up. Her “three-bite” rule really worked for me.
As a Senior Mortgage Broker, I am very stressed, very busy and rarely leave my desk or office, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t have time for that one extra phone call with Alice. She was flexible with her scheduling and her time. Her positive spirit was always welcomed, and the information she shared will always be remembered. She has changed the way I think about sugar and the way I think about food and eating. Thank you Alice.”
Active Fitness
“What I like about the lifestyle fitness program is that I have a coach that inspires and motivates me and then gives me different routines to make my exercising more enjoyable and productive. I now look forward to my workout time. It’s becoming a part of my day without excuses, which is exactly what I wanted. This program makes it easy. And what is great is that I’m not doing it for my coach. I’m doing it for me. The bottom line is I’m responsible, and I’m incorporating it into my lifestyle. It makes me think and be accountable, which keeps me on track. I am recommending this to my friends and family.”
“The lifestyle fitness program gives me more control over my eating and exercising. Having a coach to provide education and help me set goals ultimately puts me in control instead of waiting for someone else to tell me what to do. I like tracking my own progress while having someone to check in with each week. The great thing about this program is I can exercise whenever it works for me, and I have the motivation to go do it all on my own.”
“Even though I’m on the west coast and my coach is on the east coast, it’s as if she was right here keeping me motivated. Without the weekly phone talks, I probably would have given up before I discovered the rewards of daily exercise. My energy level and stamina have increased, and I’m losing weight. Thanks Alice, you’re making a big difference in my life.”
“This program goes beyond what you would get from a personal trainer. My coach, Alice, tunes into my life, attitudes and goals and tells me exactly what I need to hear, so I know what to do and I am motivated from week to week. I’ve always been interested in fitness and nutrition, and I have heard a lot of what my coach has been telling me. The difference is her approach and how she helps me put it into practice. This is what a lot of us need, but we don’t know where to get it.
I feel very lucky to have found this program. It is just great. At this time in my life in my mid 70s I am fairly healthy, but have some health issues. This program has helped me to feel better, reduce my blood pressure, get stronger and feel more secure, and I want to remain healthy and strong for the rest of my life. And I can see how exercise makes me feel much better. I can do more with less pain. I’ve also become more conscious of what I’m eating. I’ve learned with Intuitive Eating how to eat so that I can have what I enjoy. I am now more satisfied and comfortable, and I don’t feel driven to overeat. The program works and I’m enjoying myself.”
When I started this program I wanted to feel better and to find a way to create the motivation and accountability so that fitness was a way of life, and that is exactly what I have accomplished from working with Alice at Feel Your Personal Best. I have learned so much about myself and discovered that it isn’t as hard as I thought to put myself first and that it feels really good to exercise and eat in a healthy balanced way. I am now fitter, have much less pain in my knee, and I’m no longer out of balance, craving carbs or feeling like there is no time.
This program is the missing piece. I already knew about nutrition, diet and exercise, but this allows all that to be used in a lifestyle way with greater trust in oneself. What is so different about this program is that the focus is on making choices that best serve me instead of trying to measure up to a structure and feeling judged for how well I did. This program helps you trust and feel good about yourself and I am so thankful for the changes in my thinking. It isn’t about fixing me. It is about self acceptance and having choice. I now feel better, happier and more confident. I also know that I do have control and can keep doing this for myself. I want others to know about this, because it has really made a big difference in my life.
Better Health
“My goal in working with a lifestyle fitness coach was to get my blood pressure and cholesterol down to avoid being put on medications. We did it in just four weeks, and my doctor was amazed. She said ‘it takes twelve weeks for the average person to accomplish this, so keep doing what you are doing’. I am very pleased with the results and continue to make more progress each week. I was afraid I’d have to give up what I love to eat and be hungry all the time, but instead I’ve been made aware of better choices without giving up foods I enjoy. This has been a good education, and now I know better ways to eat and exercise to stay healthy and feel better. It’s been a wonderful experience and a life saver.”
“When I learned I was pregnant with my fourth child I panicked, because I had finally achieved being in the best shape of my life. I heard about lifestyle fitness coaching and decided I could use the motivation and help to stay in shape and to avoid putting on the amount of weight I had in past pregnancies. I have found that staying accountable by using a coach has helped me stay on track, feel great, and achieve the recommended amount of weight gain. I also believe that Intuitive Eating is changing my life. It has helped me to understand the patterns of eating that didn’t work for me. I do and would recommend this program to anyone.”
“I like the Feel Your Personal Best program because it helps me to keep my health priorities in focus. Without it, I could easily let days roll into weeks and into months without having done something for myself. It’s nice to have a weekly check in, so that I am more likely to follow through on what I say is a priority in my life. I am finding it very helpful to have someone who understands the struggle and has no judgment of how things should be. I also appreciate that this program works with any circumstances and helps you adapt life to support your health and wellness. I know this is the right approach for me.”
Diabetes
“I can’t remember feeling this good in a long time, because I am now on track. From working with my lifestyle fitness coach, Alice Greene, I have learned that getting healthy and losing weight is all about changing my lifestyle. I am getting the benefit of making a commitment to exercise and balanced eating, and getting the support I need. I am feeling better, energized and calm. I now see what it takes to avoid blood sugar highs and lows by using my food journal and being mindful of my portions and balanced meals. I feel like I’ve turned the corner, and I am not sure I could have done this without my coach. She understands how hard it is to make changes, what the issues are for diabetics, and what I needed to succeed. She was with me each step of the way, and now I am confident that I can be medication free in six months.”
“I have Type II diabetes, and I am amazed how quickly my glucose levels dropped and got under control by just walking regularly and changing my diet. My lifestyle fitness coach has helped me to get moving, be consistent, reduce my insulin dosage, and better understand how to manage my illness. I now believe I can reverse the affects of this disease.”
“The diabetes program was great for me. It gave me the information I needed to set myself up for success, which I didn’t get from my doctor or nutritionist. It was realistic, applicable and it made sense. I appreciated getting the accountability from talking once a week, and I liked the positive feedback and explanations. I can now see what I am doing and how I have to adjust things to make improvements. It was a very positive experience.”
Lifestyle Changes
“Alice is a constant breath of healthy, fresh air especially after living for many, many years in the world of dieting! Through Alice and all her tools that she uses I am on a one way flight out of the dieting world. I am free of that diet prison that I had myself locked in for years and years. I am beyond grateful to Alice for introducing me to Intuitive Eating and a healthy fitness program I can stick with for a lifetime!! ”
“I have really enjoyed doing the Feel Your Personal Best programs. I have lost weight, and I now feel better and more focused. It has helped me figure out what I want to do and gotten me on track with my fitness and eating goals. Today, I’m working out more regularly and I have definitely increased my aerobic ability. I have also learned to check in and listen to my hunger signals so that I have a better handle on eating in moderation. This has helped me to gradually decrease the amount I eat, while also eating the things I enjoy. The Intuitive Eating approach is a guilt-free way of non-dieting, and it works well for me. I feel good about the fitness coaching experience. It works, and it has given me some new tools that will help me the rest of my life. I now recommend it to many of my patients.”
“Alice provides a fresh perspective to exercise and eating that has given me a better way to understand and approach my own routines. What makes working with her so unique is the way she uses coaching to provide a holistic approach to fitness. The lifestyle fitness approach works on both the head and the heart, helping you to change your behaviors in a way that makes sense, accommodates your needs, and empowers you. Anyone can provide fitness information, but she has lived the struggles, she knows what she is talking about, and you know she has a very real understanding of how you feel. It is the practical, real world application of that knowledge that makes this program successful.”
“I feel good about the lifestyle fitness program. It is an enjoyable, nurturing and realistic approach to eating and exercise that has given me more control. The real difference with this program is that it has given me what I need to make it a lifestyle change. The weekly accountability really matters, and the calorie tracker drives home how much I need to exercise. It is better than a typical pedometer. I’m now more active doing what I enjoy and realize it is a long term process. I also like the Intuitive Eating approach. It is not about dieting, but about finding a balance. I feel more in control of what I’m eating and about portions. And I have a better appreciation that I’m in control of my metabolism by how I am eating.”
