TESTIMONIAL 
I finally bit the bullet and got myself help. I had been really hesitant to reach out and get myself a nutrition coach but it has been one of the best things I have done for myself in so many ways. I had always been athletic my whole life and never really thought about what I was eating/ how I fuel my body. After my first year of college of not playing sports all the time I got slapped in the face and realized how I was eating was not going to cut it anymore and something needed to change. I had been able to lose a good amount of weight before starting with BIN, but I reached a point where I felt stuck and didn’t see the changes I wanted to see. I was playing this guessing game with myself when it came to nutrition and I decided I wanted answers. My relationship with food also became a bit negative and I was restricting the things I loved, or felt disappointed in myself if I were to go over my macros. I had a pretty good understanding of how to track macros before starting with BIN but my mindset about quantity and quality of food is what has changed the most. There have been some obvious physical changes but my relationship with food is no longer seen as negative as it was before. I didn’t know how to properly fuel myself and I had been under-eating for such an extreme amount of time. Now I look forward to all of the meals I make because they are things I enjoy!

I am so grateful for everything my coach has taught me along the 6 months I have been working with her. She has taught me that time and consistency is key, and that food is fuel! Especially as a CF athlete. I’ve learned to be able to enjoy the foods I love by being flexible and fitting into my macros. I no longer see foods as good or bad, and I no longer view this as a diet but a lifestyle change. I am so much more confident in myself and I also feel healthier by fueling my body with nutrient dense foods. Not only does my coach give me a reality check when I'm being ridiculous but she has also supported me, guided me, and taught me so much more than I ever thought I would know about nutrition. Joining BIN has changed my life in so many aspects and I could not be more grateful for everything they have done for me.
