Venice Nutrition Is based on the science of blood sugar stabilization.

We’ll teach you how to stabilize your blood sugar levels. By eating the right amount of calories each meal, eating them at correct intervals, and making sure that the proper ratios of carbohydrates, protein, and fat are maintained, you will create a healthy living environment – you will stabilize your blood sugar. Once your blood sugar is stabilized, your body will naturally start breaking down fat on a consistent basis. By incorporating exercise into your plan, you will then be able to build lean muscle mass because you will have created the proper environment within which to do so. Additionally, stable blood sugar is what is responsible for eliminating sugar cravings, increasing energy, increasing focus, and reducing fatigue. Our science based program is backed by the International Board of Nutrition and Fitness Coaching >>

Eliminates the Yo Yo Effect

Many other programs are based on "quick fix" methods such as calorie restriction or cutting whole food groups such as carbohydrates. These “quick fixes” cause a "yo-yo" effect. You lose weight and then gain it back the moment you fall of course. Methods like this leave you feeling hungry and actually cause you to lose lean muscle mass, which drastically slows your metabolism. Unfortunately, when you gain the weight back, you don't regain muscle mass just body fat in its place. When people do these types of programs they typically repeat the process over and over with each attempt, resulting in the laying down of more and more bodyfat. By maintaining stable blood sugar levels you will lose weight and keep it off permanently because your body will be in a balanced state. This balanced state is known as Homeostasis.

Teaches you how to stay the course

Most programs focus on initial results and fail to teach how to stay on track permanently. We will provide you with the motivation and education to implement your program indefinitely. We also provide the tools to get right back on track if you do fall off course.

Focuses on improving your whole lifestyle

Most programs only teach you how to eat according to their rules and neglect other important aspects of your health. Venice Nutrition will teach you how to eat well to best fit your needs, how to exercise correctly, how to improve your sleep and stress levels, and how to work your program into your current lifestyle. You'll learn how to balance your health with all other aspects of your life including your profession, relationships and lifestyle.

Knows you are an individual with unique needs and goals

While most programs have the same "game plan" for everyone, Venice Nutrition knows you are an individual with your own unique goals, lifestyle, health challenges and food preferences. Our member's goals vary from person to person. Some of our members want to lose weight and body fat while others like professional athletes may want to build lean muscle and enhance performance. While blood sugar stabilization is the basis for everyone's program, each plan is created specifically for you based on your specific nutritional parameters, your current lifestyle and the goals you want to achieve.

Know your "Why"

Your "Why" is our reason for making your health a priority. It is the driving force that motivates you and will determine your level of Consistency. Your "Why" must be strong enough to keep your goals in focus and keep you on track as you move through the stressful moments. With Venice Nutrition, you'll discover your "Why". You will be able to recognize any challenges you are facing and most importantly, you'll have the tools to overcome them.

Build Your Health Structure

Diets fail people because they do not provide a game plan for long term success. The key to long term success is to build both a foundation to work from as well as a game plan to maintain success for the rest of your life. There are 6 main components to your Health Structure: Sleep, Nutrition, Exercise, Supplementation, Water Intake and Stress Management. Each individual’s Health Structure will vary because it is determined by their unique lifestyle. Venice Nutrition will educate you on these 6 components and provide you with a game plan that works for you. Your health structure is the blueprint for your success!

Balance Your "Quadrant"

It's time to make room for health in your life. Each of us lives a busy life and too often we decide to "go for it" and try getting healthy without making a plan or creating space in our life. It's easy to crash if you start with a life that is already 100% full and add a nutrition and exercise program on top of it. The key is to adjust some other parts of your life in order to open up the space your health can occupy. Venice Nutrition will teach you how. Our members are always amazed to find that by creating balance in their Quadrants they enhance every aspect of their lives - even their profession and personal relationships.

Your Personalized Health Structure:

Your personalized Health Structure is your "game plan" for success. This includes customized meal and exercise plans, recommended sleep schedule to maximize results, supplement recommendations, water intake parameters and stress management tools. You'll learn exactly what you need to reach your goals and how to incorporate each aspect of the health structure into your lifestyle.

Getting Started Guide

We understand that starting up any program can feel overwhelming. This is exactly the reason why we created our Getting Started Guide. The guide will give you a clear starting point to work from and will guide you as you progress through each health phase at a pace you’re comfortable with.

3 Phase Guide to Your Program

There are three phases to learning how to work nutrition and fitness permanently into your lifestyle:

Phase 1- Building your health structure

Phase 2- Mastering your health structure

Phase 3- Maintaining your health structure

With these three phases, you'll learn important skills like how to "keep it simple", how to set realistic goals, when to diversify your cardio routine, and even when you’re ready to move from one phase to the next. As you master each phase, you can check it off your list, and our software will remember it’s been crossed out the next time you log in. This guide has been invaluable to our members and will be an excellent tool for your success.
