When I decided to run a sprint distance triathlon at age 50, I knew I needed help from various people. The first person I sought out was a nutritionist. Manju was absolutely amazing! She sat down with me to understand exactly what my goals were and what kind of time frame we had. Being a "completer" and not a "competer," I wanted to understand what I needed to do nutritionally in order to train well and complete the race feeling good. I also wanted to lose some weight in the process.
Manju took all of my goals and then created a very simple-to-follow nutrition plan and an easy-to-use tracking card, tailored just for me. Since I was resistant to writing anything down, she worked with me through several iterations until I had something that I would use to help me recognize my eating habits. Manju also helped me understand how to hydrate myself and have the proper fuel (carbs and protein in the correct balance) before, during and after a workout or race. That was extremely enlightening to me and made a huge difference in how I felt working out and ultimately in my race!
Working together with Manju I was able to achieved great success. I lost one pound a week for 10 straight weeks and have maintained that weight since. Following the nutrition and hydration plan, which Manju set for me, I ran my triathlon in just under the time I was hoping for and felt great upon completion!
I highly recommend Manju for any weight loss and/or sports nutritional needs you might have. She is an excellent listener and will help you understand your eating habits so that you can modify them to achieve your goals. My only regret is that I did not work with Manju before I was 50!
