Nutritional Counseling

Whether you’re looking to lose weight and eat healthier, to conquer dieting cycles, or you’re intrigued by a plant based diet and ready to get started, I can help.

My coaching services are not just for those who want to be vegan or be raw. I welcome clients of all backgrounds and dietary preferences; if your goal is simply to eat more plant based foods, that’s great.

I’m interested in my client’s entire history with food—physical and emotional—and will construct a dietary program that is uniquely suited to his or her needs and lifestyle.

I’m available for in person consultations here in New York, and phone and email consultations for clients around the country and outside of the US. Services  include nutritional counseling, grocery lists and suggested menus for the week, tips, encouragement, and, for my New York clients, at-home food demonstrations and grocery store walk throughs. I accept Paypal.

If you are interested in a consultation please contact me at gena@choosingraw.com.

Testimonials

–Lyn D., Maryland
Before I started working with Gena, I wasn’t sure whether it would be worth it, since I knew what I “should” be doing. Her counseling, however, turned out to be a key factor in my success.

Not only does she have great advice when I am struggling, but her realistic approach helped me make major changes despite having no time and limited funds. Her recipes and ideas are for real people with lives beyond their diets, and they are great. Gena is down to earth and non-judgmental. She strikes a great balance between encouraging me to go a little father but to keep things in perspective and have fun with the process.

FAQ

So where do you get your protein?
Ah, the million dollar question. I know that my fellow raw foodists are uttering a collective sigh of frustration with me. But it’s inevitable, so here goes:

I get my protein from a wide array of vegetables, sea vegetables, nuts, seeds, grains, and legumes. The notion that we need to supplement our diet with large amounts of protein, especially in the form of animal products, is mistaken: our bodies are capable of assembling amino acids from all of the foods we eat and building the “complete proteins” that we’ve all been told we need to get in a single sitting.

Recommendations

Juicer (average $50.00 - $500.00)
If you’re like me, and juicing is a crucial part of your lifestyle, then the cost of a juicer will absolutely be worth it! It will buy itself back again and again and again. The juicer I recommend is the Breville Two-Speed Juice Fountain Plus. It’s the only juicer I’ve ever owned, and it has never let me down. I recommend you invest in a juicer that has at least this level of performance in order to juice leafy greens.

Some of you have asked me whether it’s wiser to buy a juicer or a Vitamix.
