Looking For Nutritional Coaches To Monitor My MFP

nursechristie11

Any nutritional coaches that will monitor my food entries to help accountability? Needing to get disciplined again and back on track. Let me know.

Sure, for $20 an hour.

Are you willing to pay or are you just asking for a freebie? Coz anyone worth their salt is going to want paying, and anyone who does it for free probably wouldn't know their calories from their *kitten*

How can I discipline you over the Internet? Will you give us access to your bank account so we can impose a financial penalty when you slip up? Or tell us where you live so we can come over to impose physical discipline when we don't like what you log?

**IMPORTANT CAVEAT: DO NOT GIVE THAT INFORMATION TO STRANGERS ON THE INTERNET**

Perhaps try the adopt a newb thread (pinned at top of Getting Started) more likely to get help with accountability and you're less likely to be swindled out of money by a "qualified" nutritionist (any fool with £100 and the internet can become a nutritionist)

All the hilarous suggestions is because MFP is a lot like George Costanza's "do the opposite". Everything you have ever heard about health and weight, is wrong. So do the opposite. Figure out what you need. Eat food you like. Be disciplined to make your own decisions. Don't go on and off track, find a new normal.

"Nutritional coach" sounds like someone I am going to walk in the opposite direction if they even so much as look like they may be about to tell me what and how to eat.

You don't need one OP, you just need to eat less of the things you like making sure to eat a wide and varied diet within your calorie goals. That's it.

The only "nutritional coaches" I've seen mentioned on MFP were folks selling something who know nothing about nutrition, and nothing about what real coaching involves. Board certified coaches spend a lot of time and money on their training and certification, and although many do a limited amount of pro bono work, they're in it as a profession rather than a hobby. Hourly cost is similar to what you'd pay a counselor or psychologist (many are in fact mental health professionals who also do coaching with clients).

You can search for board certified coaches on these sites:
