Client Transformation, Testimonials, & Success Stories!

"I have learned SO much during this experience and overall it has completely changed my relationship with food. I no longer have the "all" or "nothing" approach - I feel confident that I can enjoy all the foods I love while still crushing my goals. By fuelling my body properly it has allowed me to feel amazing during my training and during everyday life. The main reason I joined is because I wasn’t feeling confident in my skin anymore since having kids. Now in such a short period of time, I feel like ME again! “

-Britteny D.

"My results have been amazing! I chose to pair my nutrition plan with CrossFit at CrossFit Framework and I was able to lose 14 pounds of fat, while gaining 2 pounds of muscle. Beyond that, my mental health (anxiety, depression) has improved and I have regained the confidence I thought I lost a long time ago. I highly recommend this to everyone."

-Matt.T

“I started working with YQL Nutrition and attending CrossFit Framework because I was struggling with my confidence. My fitness was at an all-time low, all my clothes did not fit properly, and I didn't like how I felt generally. I also struggled with food. I knew I didn't want to restrict myself but also didn't know how to control myself either. I knew eating healthy was important but I didn't know how to really do it. Through YQL Nutrition, I learned to have a positive relationship with food. I love that I have been able to eat the foods that l enjoy (like chips or hispanic food!). It is not a restrictive program but rather one that teaches you how to eat these foods so they align with your goals.”

Working with YQL Nutrition for the last year and a half has been one of the most significant parts in my athletic journey. Being held accountable for my nutrition has allowed me to understand the importance that nutrition has not only on competitive fitness goals, but also on overall health and longevity. Having someone assist me in reaching performance goals and aesthetic goals has been such a major part in the success I have had in CrossFit and Olympic Weightlifting. Especially during the crazy sport changes and changes in training, My coach has been such a solid rock in making sure I am always fuelled properly. I don't remember the last time I went into a training session, a competition, or a rest day not knowing what I am supposed to eat, when, or how much. YQL Nutrition has such a personal investment in all of their clients, is easily available and always happy to answer questions and help out. I am so incredibly grateful for all of the advice, lessons, and constant investment my coach has provided me with. The knowledge on health and fitness I have gained from working with YQLNutrition are things I will be able to carry with me and use for the rest of my life.

"When I joined YQL Nutrition I was looking for a program that was sustainable and fit my lifestyle. There were some challenges along the way, but my coach had excellent suggestions for me so I could be successful. I went from 178lbs to 136lbs, and I couldn’t be happier with the progress that I made. I know this is something I will continue to do! I am proof that postmenopausal women can lose weight AND keep it off!"

“When I started with YQL Nutrition, I was struggling big time with yo-yo dieting. I was bouncing around from diet to diet, 12-week challenge to “summer shreds” in hopes to lose weight and to do it fast. I wasn’t looking at health as a lifestyle change.. I would be committed to my “diet” for the 12 weeks and then fall off the wagon. I could never sustain my weight loss.

My time with YQL Nutrition has set me up for so much success in the future. I can’t wait to see how I’ll continue to grow! This is a lifestyle. The best thing I have done for myself”

"When I first started coaching with YQL Nutrition, I was so unhappy with my body and how I was feeling. During my journey, my coach gave me the tools I needed and supported me every step of the way. I was able to stay consistent because I was still able to eat the foods I liked and did not feel like I was restricting myself. Since working with YQL Nutrition I have noticed so many improvements in my body, energy, and mental health and it has helped me to create healthy habits in my life!"

-Chloe T.

“Working with YQL Nutrition has been awesome. My coach was really responsive to all questions and open to modifications and tips that really helped me achieve my goals while keeping my plan realistic! I have spent most of my life being active but have never really focused on nutrition. This experience of feeling better and seeing physical changes has been really powerful! Thanks for everything!”

"I was nervous to commit to a fat loss phase because I had never tracked my food, never concerned myself with figuring out what my true maintenance was. I was worried that if I cut calories I would lose my gains in the gym. LET ME TELL YOU- this was not the case, not even a little bit. My energy actually went up. I slept better. I wasn’t hungry. Turns out that when you eat the correct amount of protein- the rest falls into place. I saw immediate changes in my weight, my measurements, and my muscle definition - I lost 11.8 lbs and 5.8 total inches!"

-Nils R.

I started working with YQL Nutrition because I was unable to fit pants of any size without them rolling down.. I always thought that abdominal pain, dyspepsia and bloating were all just a normal part of my life. When my nutrition coach suggested I try an elimination diet, I was very reluctant at first. I wasn't sure if my love of food was worth being restricted. I also was stumped as to what healthy foods I was able to eat. My coach was so good at listening to my thoughts, limitations and fears. She gave me the tools to eliminate the foods methodically, giving me guidance and ideas of what to eat in the meantime. I was SO surprised at my results!!! I had no idea what I had been missing all along. I no longer was bloated, my belly felt flat, I had way more energy for being a mom, for work and at the gym and I had the best sleeps of my life! I now know I cannot go back to this and it was worth cutting all the foods out and learning which foods to avoid with a sequential reintroduction of each group. Now I have a clear guide of what I can eat and how much and enjoy food thoroughly, knowing that I can choose to feel the best I can be with my food choices!! If I hadn't had the help of a nutrition coach to hold my hand, nudge me to try this and support me along every step of the way, I would not have ever tried this on my own. I am SO glad, I feel like a new person!”

“When I started working with YQL Nutrition I was not in a great place. I was experiencing major brain fog nearly all the time, was super irritable, impatient with my family, mad at the world, and eeling lethargic & “not well” nearly all of the time. I went to my doctor thinking surely something was wrong. She ran every test under the sun & the only thing abnormal was elevated cholesterol…to the point of needing medication. I was given 3 months to change things. That very afternoon, I called YQL Nutrition & am forever grateful that I did. Under my coach’s guidance & support I have made some super simple changes to become a healthier, better me. I have been eating more “real” food, creating healthy sustainable habits, setting a good example for my girls, and am feeling better than ever. Brain fog, gone, irritability, gone, lethargy, gone!!! My energy is back, I am crushing my workouts, setting new personal bests, and just being a better version of me! My coach’s positivity, weekly feedback & constant encouragement has been just what I needed to get back on the right path. I will be forever grateful for her guidance, cheerleading, & support in my journey so far! “

This client was also successful in making improvements in her cholesterol levels during her coaching journey!

When I started working with YQL Nutrition I was exercising (a lot) with no results: in fact I was gaining weight, injured, tired and just overwhelmed with life. I signed up to lose weight and my coach helped me do that. But as we worked together she also helped me transform my perspective about myself: how I felt is more important than the number on the scale. Following my coach’s wisdom, I have now realized that I can be successful in my career, have energy for my young children and be healthy. The best part, my self confidence has increased! Through this process I have literally lost the guilt and the pounds: I have gained skills to continue to invest in my health through nutrition, hydration, exercise, sleep and stress reduction. This experience has been worth more than I can express.

“I signed up with YQL to improve my body composition to feel more confident, learn more about nutrition, improve my athletic performance and build strength to improve my lifts for Kettlebell sport competitions. I was training extremely hard but wasn't noticing any results within my body composition, was having a difficult time building muscle, had tried all the FAD diets (Keto, intermittent fasting, Whole 30) and wasn't having any success. When I started I began to notice immediate results on the scale, in my measurements and in my photos.

Not once during my body recomposition phase did I feel restricted to what I could eat, nor was I ever hungry! My confidence, which has been a shift in mindset which is a continual process, increased making me feel absolutely amazing on my wedding day! Now that I have shifted into the reverse phase, building back to maintenance calories, I am focused on building muscle and strength and improving my athletic performance and not worried about the number on the scale! With proper nutrition, I have noticed improved performance with my lifts and am hitting more PR's and am so proud of myself! Signing up for nutrition coaching has been the best investment!!!

“YQL Nutrition goes above and beyond to support you physically and emotionally. My coach provided me with all the tools I needed to feel successful and in such a personable and kind way.”

During her time with YQL this client lost over 14lbs and a total of 7.5 inches while seeing amazing progress in her workouts and a shift in mindset away from all/nothing and emotional eating!

"I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed this program. My energy level increased huge due to fueling my body properly. Big wins in gym performance! My body confidence was ok before but now I am very comfortable with how I look and feel, even at 54 and perimenopausal.

My overall change in appearance, trimmed everything up even though I didn’t really have any weight to lose. I learned a lot about what to eat and when to eat it and how to deal with nutrition when I travel a lot better than I used to. Even my family physician asked about your company to recommend you to her other patients after seeing how healthy I feel and look and how enthusiastic I am about it. Robyn and Megan feel like friends to me now, and the support and ideas in this group were amazing! Highly recommend this if you want to change your life and way of thinking about food and yourself!"

-Annette J.

“I reached a weight I hadn't seen since my thirties! I couldn't be more thrilled. AND the best part was I did it while living life and eating realistically. I also love that once my goal was met there was a reverse diet phase to get me up to sustainable maintenance calories so I won't just go back to how I was before. Now summer is just around the corner. I am a week away from a trip to Mexico and when going through my clothes I was excited that they fit again. I will wear a bikini proudly and feel confident in myself and in what I've learned and where I will go!”

“I never thought I would do a nutrition program or have a coach to guide me both physically and mentally. I always resisted nutrition challenges etc. as I did not feel mentally ready. I am so happy I finally committed. For me, this experience has been priceless! I joined YQL so I could lose the weight I had gained over a few years and I wanted to look amazing for my 40th. Yes, I lost the weight but most importantly to me, I gained so much more- I learned about foods that fuel me and how to actually enjoy them, I learned about the importance of movement and all the benefits both mentally and physically for me, I learned to plan for my success and make time for myself. It was difficult at first (especially eating all that protein;) but I saw and felt results, which motivated me to trust the process. My coach’s support was exactly what I needed to feel like myself again, help me with the stress I had going on and make me feel confident in my skin again”

-Colleen S

During my time with YQL Nutrition, I learned so much that it's hard to pick! My top 2 would be :

1 - What to eat and how much to eat to feel my best. This is something I have never learned before!

2-Consistency over perfection. If you get off track, the whole day/week/month isn't ruined.

Be kind to yourself and get back on track

My coach made me feel like she genuinely cared about my overall health and was always available to answer questions and offer support. Her positive attitude rocks and made me feel good about myself. I wish I could offer some constructive criticism but I can't as there is nothing I can suggest that would make the program better.

It was actually more than I ever expected”

“Working with YQL Nutrition has changed my life. I am able to give my body what it needs to thrive. My coach taught me how to track my food accurately and how to meet my goals without depriving myself of food or treats. I was able to go on holidays and enjoy family and celebrate without stressing out about following a “plan”. I am able to strive for my goals but in a healthy, productive way. I was able to communicate questions, thoughts and feelings to my coach and she always responded with patience, understanding and kindness. I’ve learned so much about health, food, and mindset and it’s given me the knowledge to continue working towards my goals and maintain amazing results. I have definitely lost the weight I set out to lose but most importantly I feel like I have restored my relationship with myself and food. Working with YQL Nutrition is not a weight loss program, it is so much more than a number on the scale. It has genuinely changed my outlook on food, health, and body image.”

Since starting work with YQL Nutrition, I have noticed a substantial improvement in performance and recovery. I never experienced that “second gear” I heard athletes talking about before this program, but now find I can tap into it when needed. My focus has always been performance, but I feel like I have leaned out slightly as well. All this has been accomplished while eating all the carbs. All. Of. Them. I like how we have weekly check-ins, and that you always have an answer to all my questions.

“I decided to contact YQL Nutrition because I was unhappy mentally and physically. I was always tired and had no energy. I knew I needed a change. My coach was great to work with, I was able to obtain the results I was wanting and was taught how to make them sustainable. With other programs I have tried, I always had an all-or-nothing mentality - In my head, there were good and “bad” foods. I wouldn’t allow myself to eat the “bad” foods and rely on my willpower. Through YQL Nutrition’s coaching, I learned that I can fit the foods I crave into my day-to-day life and not ruin my hard work. I’m able to satisfy my cravings and still get the results I want. I am so happy I made the decision to work with YQL Nutrition!”
