Testimonials
Over the ten years we have accomplished many goals, I have dropped my body fat from 15 to 10 percent and maintained my fat free muscle mass at 147 lbs… I just can't emphasize enough how important overall nutritional guidance has helped me accomplish several life and athletic goals over the years.
"I am coming up on my 10-year anniversary of working with Eve and her team. Over the years we have planned and executed nutritional goals for various reasons, numerous triathlons, everything from sprint to Ironman, various run events 5k to 1/2 marathon and some non-sport related issues like body composition, for when I just wanted to look better.
I first came to Eve in my mid 50's when it hit me that the 173 pounds I saw in the mirror were not the same as the 173 pounds of a 20-year-old college swimmer. Over the ten years we have accomplished many goals, I have dropped my body fat from 15 to 10 percent and maintained my fat free muscle mass at 147 lbs.
I have learned over the years, especially using the menu planning service that historically I don't eat enough. Sometimes fat loss and overall health is about consistently eating more of the right foods at the right times and coordinating that with athletic and life goals. My goal has always been better health. Working with Eve has allowed me to continue racing triathlons at a fairly competitive level, which has allowed me to maintain an overall active lifestyle.
I have referred numerous friends to Eve and her team. I think an active person that wants to keep a healthy lifestyle would benefit from their expertise. I just can't emphasize enough how important overall nutritional guidance has helped me accomplish several life and athletic goals over the years.”
I have learned to embrace the variability that comes with living a full and active life - some days I'm going to be off my plan, but I don't have to stay there! Just refer to my notes and get back on track.
"Where should I start? I have learned so much about nutrition, about fueling my body appropriately for my activity, and about my relationship with food. I have learned how to evaluate food and figure out if it fits within my nutrition and activity goals. I have learned to embrace the variability that comes with living a full and active life - some days I'm going to be off my plan, but I don't have to stay there! Just refer to my notes and get back on track.
After five months, I lost 18 lbs and 5 inches! I completed my first half marathon and beat my goal time, and I did it without experiencing any nausea or muscle cramps. I am so glad I was referred to Nutriworks. Working with Maria has made all the difference in me reaching my goals!
I have already referred friends! Nutriworks is great for anyone training for any type of athletic event, whether it's a marathon, half marathon or couch to 5K. Also, for anyone who wants to work on eating a healthier diet but keeps hitting a wall and not sure what to eat, how much to eat, when to eat, etc.”
Thanks to Maria, I achieved my three main goals: weight loss, a lower body fat percentage, and completing my first marathon. But the benefits went beyond just those achievements.
"Working with Maria at Nutriworks has been transformative. I initially sought her help to lose weight, improve my body composition, and train for my first marathon. I achieved all of that and more. Maria provided invaluable education and guidance every step of the way, and I experienced a significant boost in my daily energy levels. The weekly check-ins were essential for staying on track, and her quick responses to my questions were so helpful. I especially appreciated how she tailored the program to my lifestyle. I never felt deprived; I simply learned how to adjust my eating habits to fit seamlessly into my daily routine. It was a perfect fit.
Thanks to Maria, I achieved my three main goals: weight loss, a lower body fat percentage, and completing my first marathon. But the benefits went beyond just those achievements. I now have a much deeper understanding of how to properly fuel my body, not just during marathon training and on race day, but every single day. The tangible results speak for themselves.
One of the most valuable lessons I learned from Maria is the importance of progress over perfection. She taught me to approach each day as a learning opportunity and to strive for consistency. This mindset has been invaluable. I've also added new family-
friendly recipes to my repertoire and find it much easier to navigate dining out with family and friends. I’m now more attuned to what makes me feel my best, and that guides my choices. It’s a great feeling! I have regained my confidence and feel so much better in my own skin. I am incredibly grateful that I was referred to Nutriworks and for Maria's partnership on this journey. It has truly made a lasting difference.
I wholeheartedly recommend Maria and Nutriworks. I've already referred them to my oldest daughter, who wanted to develop healthier habits. It’s been so much more effective coming from Maria than from me! It's been life-changing for her so far, and she will continue working with Maria in 2025, as will I. That’s how much we believe in her approach.”
As a 75+ year old athlete, I knew that [hiking, biking] would be more trying but I realized that weighing an extra 15lbs wasn't helping. With the help of Nutriworks, I have lost those 15lbs, have kept it off and met my goals.
"I had been hiking in Glacier National Park and wondered why it seemed more difficult. I also noticed hill climbs on my bike were also feeling more difficult. As a 75+ year old athlete, I knew that these activities would be more trying but I realized that weighing an extra 15lbs wasn't helping. With the help of Nutriworks, I have lost those 15lbs, have kept it off and met my goals.
Working with Eve was fun and educational. I now know how to eat correctly to fuel my activities. As a result, I’ve been able to enjoy closeup views of the hoodoos in Bryce Canyon, Escalante and several other hikes in the area. While still tiring, these hikes were amazingly physically easier. I also participated in a 24.6-mile bike race and was able to average 19+mph. My heart rate stayed below max, and hills were almost effortless. My next adventure is the Rim to Rim in Palo Duro Canyon.”
I appreciated getting periodic follow ups with Eve to check body fat composition and adjust percentages and calories. She helped me learn and adjust my food choices so I could make to hit my goals.
"Nutriworks taught me how to track my caloric intake and eat the right combination of macronutrients to feel more full throughout the day. Specifically, I learned to eat a more calorie dense breakfast and to snack in the afternoon, so I don't get home from work and overeat at night. Increasing my protein intake also helped with this!
I appreciated getting periodic follow ups with Eve to check body fat composition and adjust percentages and calories. She helped me learn and adjust my food choices to hit my goals. After 4-5 months, I have lost several inches, am wearing smaller clothes sizes, and have reduced my body fat percentage. I now have less knee and back pain and have more energy and confidence. I also don't feel hungry at night, and I am choosing to eat healthy because I feel good when I do! As an added result, I accomplished my goal of running a half marathon in under 2 hours. I knocked 18 minutes off my best from 2015!
Anyone who wants to change their body composition, lose weight in a healthy way and learn a different lifestyle that is sustainable would benefit from working with Nutriworks!”
Not only was I able to achieve new PRs, I also experienced a significant improvement in my energy levels and how I felt after workouts or runs… I experienced less burnout, even as I trained through some higher mileage during this year’s training cycles.
"Before working with Eve at Nutriworks, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I had never worked with a sports dietitian and relied heavily on nutrition information I found online or social media. Juggling working 12-hour shifts, graduate school, and training often left my nutrition on the backburner. Eve provided easy, seamless solutions that also worked with my busy schedule. Her suggestions for pre- and post-run fueling were easy and straightforward as she incorporated foods I already enjoyed or purchased regularly. She also helped me fine-tune my intra-race nutrition, an area I struggled with prior to working with Nutriworks. Eve made everything simple: I knew exactly what to eat and how much at various points during a race. With her suggestions, my intra-race fueling improved significantly, enhancing my performance and allowing me to feel strong after each event.
While working with Nutriworks during this past year, I achieved a personal record (PR) in almost every race distance: the 5k, 10k, and full marathon. Proper fueling also led to other achievements: a top-5 finish at the Cowtown 10k, a top-15 finish at the Jersey City Marathon, and a top-10 finish at both the Austin and Dallas half marathons. While a PR can be a tangible measure of success, some of the most notable results I experienced were internal. Fueling appropriately gave me more energy during races and allowed me to feel strong after workouts. This year, I logged some of my highest mileage weeks while training for two marathons. Having a structured plan for fueling before, during, and after a workout or race allowed me to recover well and prepare for the next workout. Fueling properly allowed me to avoid injuries and burnout, which contributed to my ability to handle the increased training load.
I highly recommend Nutriworks to athletes of all ages, abilities, and disciplines. Anyone can benefit from proper fueling! Not only was I able to achieve new PRs, I also experienced a significant improvement in my energy levels and how I felt after workouts or runs. Fueling properly also had a positive impact on my mental state as an athlete. I experienced less burnout, even as I trained through some higher mileage during this year’s training cycles. Eve is truly a master at what she does! I am so grateful to her and Nutriworks for everything they've done for me this past year. She is a genius!”
I’ve learned that it takes time and hard work to lose weight in a healthy manner.
"I've been on several crash diets before Nutriworks where I lost weight just to gain it all back. After working with them for over a year, I’ve learned that it takes time and hard work to lose weight in a healthy manner. There were a few times I was frustrated with my progress but the encouragement from Eve and Bethany really helped me to pull through and achieve my goals. As a result:
- I’ve built muscle (nearly 20 lbs over 14 months)
- I’ve lost body fat (down ~15% over 14 months)
- I have more energy
- I have more confidence
- I’ve learned what foods I’m intolerant to
- I don’t get sick as much as I used to
- I sleep better
Even though I could not see noticeable weight loss at first, my body composition was changing so I would encourage those who want to lose weight to use additional metrics besides just the scale.
I would refer Nutriworks! I think this program is good for anyone looking to lose weight in a safe and healthy manner."
Of course, I love the weight loss and smaller body, but I am amazed at how the majority of my days have energy, runs have felt great, and sleep improved.
"I have been working with Eve since November 2023, the week before Thanksgiving. But I am not finished with my journey as I am training for my first marathon Jan. 1,2025!
I started my journey for weight loss, but then moved into fueling for my workouts that were getting harder. Eve taught me the macros my body needs and that will fuel my training. Of course, I love the weight loss and smaller body, but I am amazed at how the majority of my days have energy, runs have felt great, and sleep improved. I am not so sore after long runs and races that walking is a struggle for days.
I like the accountability of meeting with Eve in person and trying to learn as much as I can with each visit. I have lost 30 inches, 6%body fat and 40 pounds. I feel like a new person.
I think anyone that would like to lose weight and wants to have more energy to enjoy any activity should consider using Nutriworks. Eve is so supportive of her clients and positive with each visit."
I've lost 30 pounds and my training has been spectacular so far this year.
"One of the reasons I put off contacting a nutritionist for so long was that I was worried it would be "hard" to train and diet. But I never really felt like I was on a diet once I had met with Maria and understood the plan. Yes, sometimes I was in a caloric deficit, but Maria made sure that I was eating enough as my training changed to ensure I was never really hungry. And when I did get hungry, she worked with me to figure out how my food choices were or were not adding up. I knew the adage "calories in versus calories out", but putting it together as macros and timing the food was a game changer. For example, a carb heavy morning is going to leave me starving at night. So managing my protein at breakfast and lunch sets me up to continue to feel good through the evening meal and beyond.
I've lost 30 pounds and my training has been spectacular so far this year. Maria has also been very responsive to my emails in between meetings, and I am very grateful to feel like I can get her opinion on something pretty quickly.
I think anyone who trains a lot but is gaining weight (this was my situation) needs to look at their nutrition. I didn't understand how I could burn so many calories and still gain weight. Maria helped me sort out what was going on (again, timing of the meals and macros), so that the weight came off, and now I look like I train as much as I do."
Losing weight wasn't a goal when we started - I wanted to focus on body comp and overall nutrition - but I have lost weight in the form of fat and I couldn't be happier. I am much more comfortable in my body and when working out.
"Going through perimenopause, I had gotten into a habit of eating out too often and reaching for a sweet snack when my energy levels dropped. Working with Maria helped me to refocus to eat nutritious foods.
I was in a deep funk and dialing in my nutrition was the catalyst for getting out of that negative loop. I had counted macros for years, but I always counted macros daily. Maria helped me break my macros down by meal so that those macros were balanced and in line with my daily macro count. Doing so has helped me feel satiated longer and energy levels are steady throughout the day.
Losing weight wasn't a goal when we started - I wanted to focus on body comp and overall nutrition - but I have lost weight in the form of fat and I couldn't be happier. I am much more comfortable in my body and when working out. My sugar cravings have stopped and my mental health has improved greatly! I would and I have recommended this service. I think almost everyone could benefit."
“Because of their knowledge, I have had great success. I learned so many things that made weight loss a success at 67 years old.”
Working with Eve and the other dietitians has been a very pleasant goal achieving experience. Weight was never a big problem until I developed orthopedic problems that lead to 4 back and neck surgeries. Unable to play tennis and work out anymore, I had gained 25-30 pounds. Rather than try another fad diet, I sought the expertise of Eve and the other nutritionists at Nutriworks. Because of their knowledge, I have had great success. I learned so many things that made weight loss a success at 67 years old.
The first time I worked with Nutriworks was in 2014. I was successful for several years and then like many people…life got in the way. Throw in the Covid lockdown, I again gained a considerable amount of weight. In November 2021 in enrolled in the program. Eve designed a weight loss plan tailored just for me based on several factors. I met with Eve every other week. Shortly after, I also signed up for the meal plans, where Katherine created all my menus based on the macros I was allowed. It included the meal plan, recipes, and grocery list. The recipes were fabulous and very filling. I also highly recommend this as it makes losing weight hassle free.
I have learned so much from the Bootcamp where Eve, Katherine, and Maria all participated!!!! I learned the importance of macros, and how to calculate the amount of fat, protein, and carbohydrates per meal. I learned why it’s important to eat breakfast. I learned about the timing of meals and the effects of sugar, fiber, sodium, and water have on weight loss. I learned about vitamins and creating a calorie deficit. I feel like I had a lot of food at mealtimes and was rarely hungry. Best of all…. I had a generalized feeling of wellness. And as a result, I lost 23 pounds!!! After losing about 10 pounds, I was able to do 45 min of cardio 3-4 times a week and was also able to add some weight training. I am amazed at how good I feel, and the exercise has helped the chronic pain.
I would absolutely recommend Nutriworks. I have NEVER learned this much about nutrition and the healthy way to lose weight. I think there are several categories of people who would benefit. It’s great for people who have yo-yo dieted all their life trying to lose weight. I think it is also a great program for anyone who has high cholesterol and triglycerides or diabetes. I think both professional and weekend athletes would benefit also.
I just can’t say enough how great this program is. Once I completed the Boot Camp (which I loved and will do again), I thought of food differently. After I learned how poor nutritional effects long term health, I didn’t want to eat poorly. Interestingly…. I didn’t feel that deprived feeling you get with most fad diets (including the popular “no carb” diet). This truly is a way of eating I can sustain long term and be successful and happy.
“I’ve lost 40 lbs of fat in the last two years using their guidance and have kept it off with an easy to follow maintenance plan.”
There is so much misinformation and generalizations on the internet for athletes on how to fuel for events, and even more for those just wanting to lose weight. Eve and the team at Nutriworks cut through all of the noise and distill it down to a set of personalized instructions to help you achieve your goals. This is not to say their approach is simple. I have asked enough questions to know Eve is thinking about a multitude of things in her head and giving me just the info I need at the time. I’ve lost 40 lbs of fat in the last two years using their guidance and have kept it off with an easy to follow maintenance plan. I highly recommend Eve and the Nutriworks team to help you achieve all of your nutritional goals!
“Nutrition is my friend now! And most importantly, she taught me how to do it, not just giving me a "magic" plan to follow without understanding the why.”
It has been a great experience because I've learned so much. For the first time in my life, I've felt a real difference immediately and honestly without extreme effort. The plans are very easy and personalized, and Maria has been great adapting to my day to day with small changes that make a big difference, and you can see it so it's easy to feel motivated. She really cares and listens to my needs and helps me to find the best way.
Most notably, I felt energized to do the training sessions, as I call it “to have the fuel needed to keep going.” Working with Maria has helped me to have what I need to feel good before, during and after workouts and races. Nutrition is my friend now! And most importantly, she taught me how to do it, not just giving me a "magic" plan to follow without understanding "the why.” That is priceless for someone like me that just knew the basics and not everything was even right/true. Nutriworks has been a life changer and the best ally to achieve my goals!
I totally would recommend Nutriworks, Inc. I've done it 3 times already because people started to ask me, not only because of how I looked but for the improvements in my performance, which was the main goal.
“My goal was to get back to the weight I was when my husband and I married 11 years ago which I accomplished with Eve’s guidance!”
I benefited in so many ways working with Eve over the last 10 months! My goal was to get back to the weight I was when my husband and I married 11 years ago which I accomplished with Eve’s guidance! I also wanted more energy to excersise and do the outside activities I so enjoy which I now have.
The most valuable information I received from Eve was to create good habits for long term success! She gave me resources to help me along the way. I get to eat most of the foods I enjoy (including a glass of wine) and the results were amazing and Eve’s staff is wonderful! They checked in with me and helped me to stay on track.
“Without Maria’s direction regarding what and when to eat on the cycling portion of the event, I would not have had any energy to complete the marathon.”
Over 5 months, Maria taught me about macro nutrients and helped me tweak some of the meals I was eating for healthier options. She helped me understand how many carbs, protein and fat I should be eating each day for optimal performance training for an Ironman Triathlon.
I successfully completed my first Ironman and felt incredible! Without Maria’s direction regarding what and when to eat on the cycling portion of the event, I would not have had any energy to complete the marathon. The sweat testing allowed Maria to help me understand how much salt intake I needed during my long workouts in hot weather. We worked on trying different types of food while cycling to determine what worked best for my stomach so that I did not suffer from IG issues during training or the event.
I also appreciated that Maria did not judge me when I would drink wine or eat ice cream but she would make suggestions that made me think about the food/drink I was putting in my body and the effects of those decisions.
I have already made several referrals for Maria. She would be good for anyone looking for assistance to learn healthier eating habits and/or seeking optimal athletic performance.
“I was able to go from being a lifelong nonrunner, who didn't even have the energy to run five minutes at a time, to completing my first marathon... I feel the healthiest I have ever felt in my life.”
Since high school, I have enjoyed playing tennis and being active, but I never had much stamina and would often feel dizzy and experience shortness of breath after only playing short periods of time. I was also anemic for years and unaware that I wasn't eating the appropriate amount of food. So when I began to run this past May and signed up for my first marathon in December 2021, I knew I needed to seek advice on how I would fuel my new running hobby. I contacted Nutriworks through their website and Patti quickly helped me schedule an appointment with Maria.
In my first session with Maria, she took the time to learn what my favorite foods were, my cooking habits, my activity level, and my goal to run a Marathon. Maria helped me design a meal plan and training schedule that worked for me and my lifestyle. During my monthly appointments, Maria tracked my body measurements and asked questions about my training runs to create my pre-race and day of race day fueling and hydration plan. From the first week of implementing Maria's suggested meal plan, I began to feel more energetic and healthier. My dizzy spells quickly disappeared and I was able to increase the amount of time I was running during my training sessions and eventually increase the miles.
In a little over 6 months' time, with the help of Maria and Nutriworks, I was able to go from being a lifelong nonrunner, who didn't even have the energy to run five minutes at a time, to completing my first marathon. The fitness advice and nutrition plan that I learned from Maria and Nutriworks has helped me build a healthy foundation that I can continue to benefit from and build on for the rest of my life.
Through my time working with Nutriworks, I was so excited to feel and see the progress I was making from implementing small changes to what I was eating. Not only did I feel healthier, but I gained confidence! I realized that if I am willing to learn new ways of doing things, to make the appropriate changes, and to put in the work that I have the ability to accomplish my goals. Maria taught me how to plan what I eat each day based on my activity level for that day. I learned the importance of balancing the appropriate amount of carbs, proteins, and fats into my diet. Before going to Nutriworks, I thought I should eat as few carbs and fats as possible. Maria explained that how carbs and fats play an important part in improving energy levels and recovering and how I can portion these foods based on the amount of energy I expect to burn in a day.
Maria and the rest of the Nutriworks team really do care about their clients and want to help them succeed. During my appointments, Maria was always excited to hear where I was along my marathon training journey and continually offered advice on how I could tweak my plan to work best for me. After my appointments, when I emailed follow-up questions about my meal plan or training schedule, Maria was always happy to answer my questions and give extra incite. Although I was training for my marathon on my own, I never felt alone because I knew I had the knowledge, support, and encouragement of Maria and the rest of the Nutriworks team behind me. I would recommend Maria's coaching and Nutriworks to anyone who is wanting to make changes in their overall health or working towards an athletic goal. Thanks to Maria and Nutriworks, I feel healthier than I ever felt.
“He experienced steady weight gain, increased energy, better sleep, and faster muscle growth while paired with strength training. Inside and out he feels the progress.”
Eve has immensely benefited my son, Travis. He is a busy student athlete playing club soccer. At 15, he came to her underweight and needed to build muscle. He is a vegetarian that was needing help in managing his nutrition with a proper balance of nutrients for his body and goals. She worked with Travis in creating a meal plan that he greatly enjoyed while eating the appropriate macros customized for his needs. The most valuable information we took from working with Eve is the appropriate balance of macros for his growing body. Further, we also had a visit for game day nutrition. It has been crucial in teaching him how to appropriately hydrate, eat, and supplement for optimum performance. I cannot recommend the game day nutrition consult enough!
He gained the correct amount of weight in the goal time frame (May through August). We are so pleased! Travis is performing better and feels more confident. He’s reached his goals but we plan to continue to follow up with her through the years to tweak his nutrition accordingly. My youngest son has since become a client of Eve after experiencing great results with my oldest. He is on his way to achieving the same goals. I have already told several people about Eve's services. I know adults and teens alike that would benefit from her knowledge in helping them be the best version of themselves.
Eve has a talent in teaching and interacting with teenagers. Nutrition can be a difficult thing to encourage teens to comply with. Eve knows how to approach it with nonjudgement and support. Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for my boys!
“I feel good, am sleeping better and lost the fat that I could not get rid of!”
I have always enjoyed working out and being active. But wasn’t seeing the results I had hoped for. After working with Nutriworks Inc. for 2 months, I learned how to time my meals as well as the breakdown of meals (carb, fat, protein). Now I feel good, am sleeping better and lost the fat that I could not get rid of!
Eve is so great. She works around your goals, lifestyle and maintaining a realistic outlook of “life happens”. I would recommend her to anyone. Especially to any moms who are hanging on to the last bit of baby weight from carrying babies. I was so happy to see my goal attained. You truly can’t “outrun a bad diet”. There is true science behind what Eve knows. Trust the process!
“I lost about 15 pounds over 2 1⁄2 months with Nutriworks. Then I was able to place 2nd in my age group in a local sprint triathlon.”
I was tired of living the yo-yo pattern of weight loss I struggled with throughout my life. From the 2020 virus from China, I put on more weight than any other point in my life. I knew I needed to make a permanent change. After talking with a friend, Roger, who referred me to Eve, then mentioning that conversation to my wife, Tami emphatically said that it was Eve that she used years before when she trained for a number of marathons. I decided to see Eve. The benefits include scientifically based knowledge from an expert, a structured eating plan based on my own eating likes’ and dislikes,’ regular accountability and, most of all, Eve makes it fun.
The most valuable information I learned from working with Eve is that she knows what she’s talking and she “walks the talk!” She taught me about how to eat (and drink) before training sessions, what to eat after (and when) and what to avoid eating. All of this is helping me make the changes I am looking to make as a part of my lifestyle. She also put me on a meal plan that works for me – no gimmicks, just solid nutritional advice that worked.
I lost about 15 pounds over 2 1⁄2 months with Nutriworks. Then I was able to place 2nd in my age group in a local sprint triathlon - a goal I previously set to achieve late in 2021. It was a very satisfying surprise. That result then earned me an invitation to the USA Triathlon Nationals in August this year.
I absolutely would, and have, referred both friends and family to Nutriworks. Although I wanted nutrition advice to help me with my athletic goals this year, I really wanted to gain knowledge-based control over my eating habits. For anyone interested in stopping the senseless up-and-down and up-and-down weight gains and losses they fight, Nutriworks is for them.
“I feel a lot better now having lost 17-19 lbs!”
Over the last 5 months, I lost weight and inches and I learned how to better fuel my workouts. I struggled for years and kept thinking “I need to go see Eve” before I finally did. I made a few changes with her direction, which made a dramatic difference.
I learned I was eating too much sugar, not eating enough protein, and eating at the wrong times. I feel a lot better now having lost 17-19 lbs! Eve was great to work with; I’d absolutely recommend this program to others!
