Roxanne Guilhermino Food Coach
I am studying a Bachelor of Consumer Sciences Degree in Food Science and Nutrition through UNISA and have started off rather simply as I am not yet a qualified Nutritionist.
From my own battles with weight and the concerns of not knowing whether I'm eating the right things, in the right quantities or what weight-loss philosophy I should follow, I discovered how challenging it was to actually keep things in balance. I became dedicated to the Two Week Eating Plan a dietician provided me with, and I followed it with such obsessiveness, I forgot the importance of variety, colour, balance and nutrition of food, and focussed instead of following the plan implicitly.
From what I have seen with family and friends, there is great enthusiasm and will to succeed when a new fitness regime or eating plan has been decided upon. Whether it be through seeing a dietician, trainer or making up your workouts from what you have seen on fitness websites; the intent and drive is there. Yet as the weeks progress, eating the same grilled chicken breast with brown rice, steamed broccoli with no salt gets very boring - and your will to succeed slowly fades. Before you know it, it's darker and colder in the morning so waking up for gym doesn't seem so appealing and you tell yourself it's all right to sleep in and have a cup of hot chocolate instead because you will "work it off later".
Although this doesn't happen to everyone, the patterns of bad behaviour can easily creep back into our lives.
Change, especially for one's health and well-being, is usually the most challenging to infiltrate into one's life, yet making the results of Change stay, are an even a greater feat in its own.
That's where I come in.
Although I am not registered, it is my aim to assist people with their transition to healthy eating by providing services in the following areas:
Package 1 This package includes the following:
Package 2 This would include:
If you have an eating plan from your personal trainer or dietician, I help you work within the suggested guidelines to give you new and fresh ideas so that you do not get bored with what you have to eat - ensuring your desired change is sustainable.
Should there be anything else you would like assistance with and it hasn't been listed above, feel free to contact me directly - I'd love to hear from you.

Although I am not registered, it is my aim to assist people with their transition to healthy eating by providing services in the following areas:
Package 1 This package includes the following:
- Meal Planning
- Tips and suggestions to vary what you "can" and "can't" eat
- I would do the research into meals and food combination to prevent you from only having items such as seeds as your form of fat (because you've been told to cut down on butter) and would introduce you to healthier options (such a coconut oil) and go through the nutritional benefits with you.
- Healthy options for meal favourites, such as drizzling olive oil with some cider vinegar onto a baked sweet potato instead of cheese and butter.
- Quick overview of complementary flavours (such as tarragon with chicken, rosemary and red wine, cider vinegar and parsley).
- Free follow-up consultation to see how you enjoyed the food, what you'd like more of or didn't like, so as to tailor it to your preference, goal (eat more healthily, loose weight, bring your blood pressure down, etc.) and time restrictions for "prepping" food.
Package 2 This would include:
- Menu preparation for events/functions
- Wine and food pairing suggestions (and why they work together)
- Function Facilitation (assistance with venue set-up and meal preparation)
If you have an eating plan from your personal trainer or dietician, I help you work within the suggested guidelines to give you new and fresh ideas so that you do not get bored with what you have to eat - ensuring your desired change is sustainable.
