I could never thank you enough for all of your help getting me
off the diet rollercoaster! I have always found that when I lose
weight I soon put back on the pounds I just lost.

Your approach is different. It isn’t a “diet” with a lot of
restrictions and starvation. The best part, especially when I was
first starting out, was that you incorporated the foods I was
already eating and liked. As you know, I did struggle at the
beginning of the program. I felt very overwhelmed with eating out
often and I treated each meal that I ate out like a “splurge”. I
have learned so much about nutrition and eating healthy I am more
aware of what I put in my body and now make better choices at a
restaurant! I also learned that preparing ahead is important.
Packing a snack with me if I am running out is better than
grabbing something while I am on the go. Best of all, I don’t
crave the bad foods I use to. The cravings are gone! Thank you
for all of the recipes, strategies and good ideas you have given
me. It has help me be successful.

Camille, your passion for nutrition and exercise is obvious, as
well as your commitment to your clients. You really put your
heart and soul in and give your clients a lot of time and
attention….. You even invited us to your house for our last
class! You give 100% to each client and that is why I think I
have done so well. I truly feel like this is a lifestyle that I
can maintain.

Thanks again, Karen

In January of 2011, I presented myself to Camille from Nutrition Works, in desperate need of a plan for weight loss. I had quit smoking in November, and while I was not a heavy smoker, I managed to gain around seven pounds. This was in addition to the five pounds I had gained since Halloween. I was so happy to have quit smoking, but still felt lethargic and unmotivated to exercise, the twelve extra pounds made me feel awful about myself.
My daughter and I train with Camille, so I already knew what a great motivator she is, but I wasn’t buying it when she told me that I needed to eat MORE! Camille devised a plan for me that allowed me to eat more than I ever had, but the food choices were healthy, delicious and included many of my favorites! I never felt deprived and her constant encouragement kept me motivated to keep eating this way, not as a diet plan, but as a way to eat for life.
In all, I’ve lost between thirteen and fifteen pounds (depending on the day), but I’ve gained some valuable knowledge in how “nutrition works” with my body. I’m exercising around five days a week and feel great! I am grateful to Camille for giving me the tools I needed to turn myself around!! Thank you Camille!!!!!

My doctor had been telling me for years to lose weight but I was stubborn. I had tried many "diets" but none of them worked long-term.
My doctor recommended Camille at NutritionWorks and said women older than me, who don't exercise, had gone there and lost weight so it might be the right place for me! After a few more weeks of knee pain every time I went up and down the stairs, I finally gave in and called Camille. Right from the beginning she was what I needed. She told me I would only get out of the program what I put into it and she was right. We have always been honest with each other and I haven't been perfect but I have lost 50 lbs in 10 months! I no longer have knee pain when I use the stairs in my house and I feel so much healthier. I still have more weight to lose but now I know I can do it! Thanks to Camille and NutritionWorks I have the tools I need to be a healthier person.

It's Thanksgiving day and I am well equipped to deal with all of the food temptations in a reasonable way, due to my participation in your program this summer. By the way, not only did I lose 13 pounds while in the program, but I've lost another 5, and maintained the new weight ever since, and have never felt deprived.

The program was like a mini nutrition class and what helped me the most was the total customization of the menu to my tastes. Who would have thought that I could still eat out four or five lunches a week and lose weight! Granted, I changed my shrimp tempura sushi for a plain shrimp roll, but that was just as tasty. So on this day of celebration, thankfully without retail pressure, I wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving ad look forward to seeing you in the gym!

YOU’RE LIKE THAT GOOD ANGEL SITTING ON MY SHOULDER. I ATE AT A PORTUGUESE FOOD RESTAURANT LAST NIGHT, AND INSTEAD OF GETTING MY FAVORITE STEAK, IGOT FISH, AND SKIPPED ON THE DESSERT, SO WHAT YOU'VE TAUGHT ME IS STILL
IN MY HEAD.

From Tina...

Dear Camille,
Thank you so much for your help and guidance the past 12 weeks of my "new way of life". I have learned so much about nutrition, eating, and exercise. I will admit that early on when you increased my calories and number of meals each day from what I had been doing for years, I was so skeptical. How could I eat more and lose weight? But now I know it was what I was eating. I see why when I first called you about a "diet plan", you said this was not a diet. It truly is a way of life and fortunately for me, I love the foods I eat. I also remember you telling me that many of those cravings I have will subside over time. Again, I had my doubts but because I'm really not depriving myself of the things I enjoy, I don't have those brutal cravings. Thank you also for all the recipes you gave me and also for helping me change some of our family favorite recipes to healthier versions. I feel so much better about myself and know I am a healthier person. Because of my results, two of my best friends are now enrolled in your program. Thank you so much and I look forward to working with you again the next 12 weeks!!

Hi Camille,
Thanks so much. You have been great and more than I ever imagined. But I know that you and NutritionWorks was definitely the right fit for me. - Cristina Pawtucket, RI

The name says it all, NUTRITIONWORKS!
Food has always been my comfort. The more calories, the more fat, the more comfort. I have tried every shortcut you can name to loose weight. Groups, drinks you name it I failed at it. I gained and gained which caused me to eat and eat it was a crazy cycle. I have known Camille for many years. I have always tried to at least exercise. In my mind that was just another excuse to eat what I wanted. "I can have this I worked had today".
Well, needless to say my thinking and my actions were not working. Camille had talked to me in the past about my weight and tried to help me but, to say the least I can be stubborn! Finally after losing my job and being at the heaviest I have ever been, I was ready to listen. I started with Nutrition Works in February and now it is August and I am 65lbs lighter. What a difference! I wont say that it has been easy, because nothing worth it is. I fought it. I told myself I would never write down everything I ate. Again my stubborn side showing. Well once you start it is hard not to write it all down. My eyes were opened to how many calories and fat are actually in the food I used to think were good for me. I now look forward to seeing what I ate every day. As for the comfort, well that is still there too. NutritionWorks has shown me how to make good choices and still feel good. I will say that every now and again I may slip, but thanks to Nutrition Works, I don’t beat myself up and spiral out of control again. I know how to get past it and make the smart choices. It is not about denying yourself it’s about making choices. Mayla Warwick, RI

" I have tried many diets in my life. Some were successful some not so. The problem was after the initial weight loss the pounds would pile back on with some extra. To me a diet had a beginning and an end. Having learned nothing about how to eat, just how to deprive myself. This is no way to live. Nutrition works! I have never lost this much weight by eating so much food on any diet. I feel better and healthier than I have in the past. It's all about making informed choices that you can live with."

In my 12 weeks with Nutritionworks, I am finding that the way I take care of myself has taken a turn for the good! I am more aware of what, when and why I eat - and what is the best thing to keep a balance diet. Also, Nutritionworks has motivated me to get out and exercise more. Probably the most important lesson I learned on this program - is how to take good care of myself! - Jean
