Nutrition

Do you want to change your life for the better? Lucas James, a celebrity personal trainer and nutritionist in Scottsdale, Arizona, is ready to provide you with custom meal plans and nutrition programs. He offers expert insight into personalizing weight loss plans by incorporating customized dietary guidelines, healthy recipes, meal and snack options in combination with a proper exercise routine.

Maintaining healthy nutrition requires making long-term lifestyle changes instead of looking for a short-term fix. Consistently adhering to a healthy diet can be aided by meal or menu planning that takes the guesswork out of achieving your weight loss goals. However, coming up with a plan on your own can be difficult. If you’re in Scottsdale, AZ, Lucas James is here to help you turn your life around for better health and well-being!

Keeping your health goals in mind, eating the right foods at the right time is key. It is important to remember that our bodies are not machines, and they do not change overnight. If you only eat healthy for a day or work out for one hour a week, you’ll never achieve the results you’re looking for. That’s why personal training programs by Lucas James, an expert nutritionist in Scottsdale, AZ, emphasize setting specific, attainable goals through proper nutrition and exercise intervention.

This means creating dynamic, customized diet and nutrition programs that keep you accountable and motivated towards achieving your fitness goals. Since proper nutrition also includes maintaining adequate hydration, electrolyte levels, caloric intake, and micronutrient (vitamins and minerals) replenishment, Scottsdale, AZ nutritionist Lucas James additionally identifies how to take care of each individual component properly.

Our bodies constantly undergo an internal tug-of-war to balance our nutritional needs with our daily energy expenditures and body functions. Proper fueling is necessary for our bodies to utilize our diet most effectively for nutrient replenishment, muscle growth, and optimal health; this means focusing on implementing specific nutrition strategies, which include eating the right food types at the right time.

Each of these services is based on your unique body type and individual requirements.

• Current eating habits

The follow-up nutrition consultation consists of a daily dietary recall and a 2-week food journal to accurately assess your true caloric intake and nutrition values.  This allows us to customize a meal plan that you can both enjoy and follow, as well as help you find a balance between your new diet and habits. We know variety is key for sticking with any diet plan, so we offer you options that are appealing to your specific tastes and will help you get the most out of this experience.

We know that “dieting” can be laborious and monotonous, especially when your meal options are limited. That’s why we take the time to identify the problem areas specific to each of our clients’ nutritional needs. Since no two people are the same, their meals shouldn’t be either. By assessing your past and current eating habits, medical history, dietary preferences, athletic status, and health goals, nutritionists and culinary staff at Lucas James Personal Training aspire to customize a flexible and varied nutrition plan that is easy to follow and realistic to adhere to. We educate our clients to understand the differences in calorie types, portion sizing, and body metabolism so they can focus on “the big picture” and find a perfect balance by breaking down the basics.
