Rania Batayneh, Essential Nutrition For You
Posted Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009 at 3:56 pm under Businesses.“Food for thought” is the mantra of Nutritionist Rania Batayneh, MPH, 
founder and owner of Essential Nutrition For You, a Nutrition Consulting Firm focused on changing lifestyles for lasting results. As America’s Eating Strategist®, Rania is a health and wellness expert who views food as pleasure as well as fuel for your body.
Featured in the LA Times, San Francisco Examiner, 7×7 Magazine, and MSNBC, her expertise lies in nutrition,wellness and personal meal catering. Batayneh takes into account lifestyle,food preferences, and activity levels as well as metabolic testing in order to create a unique plan for each client. She designs a strategy to provide the appropriate ratio of protein,carbohydrates, and fats. “Remember, this is not a diet, but rather a lifestyle”, she explains. “It’s about finding balance. You can still enjoy the chocolate you crave or your glass of wine at the end of the day.”
Batayneh’s Mediterranean upbringing brought her to a career in nutrition very naturally. “I always liked to cook at home and there was good food around all the time–never anything frozen. My mom says she cooked for 30 years and nobody ever paid her,” she laughs. “When I started consulting, I found that people often knew what to do but were just too busy. One client asked me to cook for her and deliver the food and that became part of my practice. Clients were too busy but wanted to eat at home, so I became their personal chef.
Before starting on any program, Rania offers a 15-minute complimentary phone consultation to new clients in order to learn more about their health and weight loss history and see how you can work together from here.
“People can neglect themselves for a long time,” she says, “but once they get the information they need, then making these changes will only make their lives better. When clients understand their needs, become educated and experience the results, that’s the best part of it for me”.
Rania works with clients nationwide via her 90-Day On-Line Nutrition Consulting Program. This program can result in a 10-16 pound weight loss.
