January Jump Start

Many people find it easy to revamp their goals with the New Year. The start of each year provides a clean slate with all the celebrating and indulging behind us. Of course Foodtrainers supports this calendar-induced burst of motivation but there is more to good results than good intentions. With that being said, there are some key ways to get the most from your ‘resoluting’. If you would like a copy of our January Jump Start tips list please send an email to info@foodtrainers.net.
We also couldn’t resist including this little bit of food humor (see left).
New Foodtrainer

Last month a new Foodtrainer came on board. Caren Feingold, RD is a welcome addition to the practice. Caren completed her dietetic coursework at New York-Presbyterian Hospital (Columbia Presbyterian Center) and Teachers College, Columbia University. Caren's specialties include food allergies/sensitivities, weight reduction, adolescent/teen nutrition and eating disorders.

Prenatal Foodtraining

In the recently released pregnancy book Expecting Style, written by Lauren Sara, Lauren Slayton is the expert for the Eating Well section. The book is a great resource providing expert advice on topics ranging from style to skincare during pregnancy.
Another great resource for those with babies or expecting them is the book City Baby: The Ultimate Guide for NYC Parents from Pregnancy to Preschool, by Kelly Ashton and Pamela Weinberg). City Baby has now launched a website. Foodtrainers composed a list of prenatal tips that will appear on citybabyny.com at some point this month.

Sports Nutrition Foodtraining

Foodtrainers recently worked with the IMG agency organizing a group of top nutritionists in various NFL cities. This list will be distributed to the players IMG represents. Foodtrainers is listed on the directory as a sports nutrition resource for players in the New York area.
