• When a person is out of balance it leads to
• consuming too many calories compared to
  expenditure of calories

• increased emotional and stress eating
• This can result in weight gain, hypertension,
  high cholesterol, and/or type two diabetes

• feel satisfied throughout the day with fewer food
  cravings
• enjoy all foods within a desired calorie range
• experience better moods
• improved energy
• stabilize blood sugar
• optimize their metabolic rate
• This promotes weight loss or maintenance of
  weight, improved cholesterol, blood pressure, and
  blood glucose levels.

Testimonials

• Here are a few testimonials from our past
  clients-
• I had been a yo yo dieter for more than 30 years
  and had just about given up hope of losing the
  excess pounds
• until I stumbled upon Real Living Nutrition and
  Roseanne Rust in April, 2007. I started with the
  Mini Diet
• Makeover and was so impressed with the indepth
  and helpful analysis that I signed up for the
  Balance
• Program. Over the course of a year, I lost 40
  pounds and to date, have been successful in
  maintaining my pre
• yo yo diet weight of 115 pounds. I have lost
  weight in the past, but would gain it back after
  hitting a plateau
• and becoming discouraged. Roseanne skillfully
  guided me through the plateaus and helped keep me
  moving
• in the right direction. The Balance program is a
  way of life, not a "diet" and I would recommend
  it to anyone
• who is serious about improving their quality of
  life. Karen K. - Meadville, PA 
• Wow- I've learned a lot. Great program. I loved
  the sessions with the dietitian, looked forward
  to her feedback. I think its
• great that you can use the tools and read your
  feedback later on as a refresher. Good value for
  the money. Because I
• realize that a lifestyle change is an on going
  process, I'm going to continue with more
  sessions. I know I'll need to talk to
• the dietitian around the holidays.
• C.F.
