What A Pair!

by AnaO1 at Citysearch

I decided about a year about I wanted to lose weight. I had gotten the nutrition twins name from a friend but I never got around to calling. My sister bought me my first appointment for christmas. So I went in for my consultation with my food diary and met Lyssie (One of the nicest women I've ever met) . I went back to her once every two weeks and we reviewed my food diary, and figured out what I was eating. Lyssie would review my diary and then take to me about changes that I should make. Some lessons where harder to learn then I thought but eventually I got the hang of it. We figured out eating tricks while traveling, and ways to avoid munch on nights out drinking. Essentially Lyssie taught me how to have and maintain a healthy diet no matter the obstacles. I lost 35-pounds with Lyssie! She changed my life! She has been like my own personal cheer leader since day one. If you want to make a life change then I recommend the nutrition twins!

• Pros: Right near the C train in Manhattan, Comfortable setting, Friendly staff

Life-changing

by shelovespianos at Citysearch

I originally started seeing the Twins because I was having digestive problems. Over the past few months, we have systematically eliminated certain foods from my diet (like high-sugar foods, dark meat, and white bread) while incorporating other, healthier alternatives. My meals are now full of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein. Best of all, the Twins will work with your food preferences.

With Lyssie?s help, I have learned to be mindful of what I eat in a variety of situations. Even difficult scenarios, like being at a restaurant or a party, become manageable with the secrets that Lyssie teaches you. At times, I have been very discouraged; with Lyssie?s constant flow of positive energy and creative ideas, however, it is impossible to be discouraged for long.

A few reviews are written by people who have lost weight with the Twins. However, do not underestimate the Twins by thinking that they only help people lose weight; that is a limited perspective. That being said, my sister lost nearly 40 pounds while working with Lyssie. I myself have lost a couple of pounds even though weight-loss was not my original goal.

The point of this review is to let people know that Lyssie Lakatos has been warm, compassionate, forgiving, and encouraging through every step of the way. She is exactly the person you want ?in your corner,? regardless of whether your ultimate goal is to lose weight, or (as in my case) to eat a meal without being sick afterward.

Once you discover the Nutrition Twins, get ready for your whole life to change.

• Pros: friendly, efficient, organized, helpful, cheerful, warm
• Cons: none

Fire Up Your Metabolism - great book by The Nutrition Twins

by Debi11 at Citysearch

I have recommended the Nutrition Twins book to many people who have given me positive feedback. The reason I suggested the book is because it is easy to follow and makes sense for every day life. It is the easy guide to weight loss. The trick is that one has to follow it precisely; not just part of it, all of it. The ideas, recipes, and food suggestions (whole wheat pasta and pizza) are so interesting and tasty. When I first started the book, I hadn't eaten as many vegetables and foods (grilled eggplant, asparagus, shitake noodles) as I do now. In addition, I cook more - which can be a lot of fun. The book is friendly and easy to use - but it's only good when followed. The Nutrition Twins however are so approachable and actually make dieting fun; keeping a food diary, monitoring weight, and having new food combinations with every meal; healthy ones. The only thing is that once you get started, you may start evaluating how other people eat (to yourself of course) and think how horrible it is - - but it will only make you feel better about yourself.
