Designed Nutrition

My name is Erin McDougall, and I am a Registered Dietitian. I love food, and I love talking about food! I am passionate about teaching people how food can nourish our bodies and its effects on our health.

I believe that healthy eating is not about adhering to a strict diet. Nor is it about following the latest fad diet. It is about a long-term, sustainable healthy food pattern with food choices that fit your needs, lifestyle and taste preferences. There are so many healthy and delicious foods - I am eager to help you discover which foods work for you. I also want to emphasize that all foods can be a part of a healthy diet. I like to indulge every so often and I want you to, as well. Healthy eating is about balance and moderation.

I believe that a healthy lifestyle and healthy eating is a journey. There is no single formula that will lead you to success; it is a process of trial and error and learning what works best for you, and I am here to support you along the way.

I also believe that mealtime should be enjoyable. Mealtime and food are so much more than nourishment for our bodies; it is a time for families to connect with one another and where traditions (both old and new) are created around the table.

I offer individual and group nutrition services to help people achieve their health goals. Check out my website for a full list of my services and my packages and rates (www.designednutrition.ca)

I will be posting nutrition resources, recipes and tips on my Facebook page to provide you ongoing support of your healthy lifestyle practices. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me and enjoy my page!
