About

Hi there! I’m the founder of Calorie Smart Daily, a health writer and certified nutrition coach who has maintained a 43-pound weight loss for over seven years. After struggling with my weight since college and experiencing countless frustrating yo-yo diets, I finally discovered what truly works for sustainable weight management.

My Journey

My weight loss story isn’t glamorous or filled with overnight transformations. After my third failed attempt at keto—which left me dreaming about bread and feeling murderous at the sight of a banana—I realized something important: the most effective weight loss strategies are usually the simplest.

No one’s making millions selling books about “eat more vegetables and take walks.” But after 15 years as a health writer and my personal weight loss journey (with plenty of plateaus along the way), I’ve learned that sustainable weight management isn’t complicated. It’s just not always easy.

My Approach

At Calorie Smart Daily, I cut through the noise of fad diets and quick-fix solutions to focus on evidence-based, holistic approaches that address both physical and emotional aspects of weight management:

Creating modest calorie deficits (not starvation)
Building meals around protein and vegetables
Finding enjoyable ways to stay active
Addressing sleep quality and stress management
Developing a healthy relationship with food

When I founded my wellness practice in 2008, I immediately noticed that clients who succeeded long-term approached weight loss holistically. They didn’t just follow a diet—they transformed their relationship with food, movement, and self-care.

My Expertise

After helping over 1,200 clients achieve their health goals, I’ve refined my understanding of what truly works. I combine my personal experience with extensive research and professional training to provide practical, sustainable advice that respects individual differences.

I believe weight loss isn’t just about looking different—it’s about creating a healthier relationship with your body and improving your quality of life. The sustainable weight loss methods I share focus on progress over perfection, patience over punishment, and health over appearance.

My Promise

At Calorie Smart Daily, you won’t find:

Miracle solutions or overnight transformations
Extreme restriction or punishment disguised as wellness
One-size-fits-all approaches
Shame-based motivation

Instead, I offer:

Practical strategies that fit into real life
Science-backed information in accessible language
Compassionate guidance for the inevitable ups and downs
Tools to track progress beyond the scale

Remember that weight loss isn’t linear. Through my years of clinical practice, I’ve observed that plateaus and fluctuations are normal parts of the journey. The key is developing resilience and consistency rather than seeking perfection.

I’m passionate about helping you create a sustainable path to health that improves both your physical wellness and quality of life. Let’s get started!
