Learn to be a food coach!
Food coaching is an emerging profession. It combines coaching skills with knowledge of nutrition to help clients choose better ways of eating and diets which are healthier for them.
While dieticians may be experts at telling people what to eat, food coaches are experts at motivating people and helping them to develop better strategies to improve their eating habits
Coaching is concerned with helping clients to define their goals, and then work out ways to achieve them. Coaches encourage clients to look at their lifestyle and how it might influence their diets and goals.
