Have you ever wondered why some people can 'eat like kings' and not gain weight or 'eat like paupers' and not lose a pound? That's because the principals of 'healthy eating' differ for different people and can be significantly impacted by age, lifestyle, metabolic requirements, medical issues and other factors. At Foundations Family Nutrition, our Registered Dietitians and Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs) help families, adults, teens and children develop healthy eating habits for life-long health. Whether you are a professional or recreational athlete, trying to lose weight, manage a medical condition or would simply like to develop a sound nutrition program for your family, our RDs will develop a customized program to help you achieve your goals.
