Welcome To One Potato Two Tomato LLC.

"Teaching parents, families, children and adolescents how to adopt new healthy lifestyle behaviors in eating and exercise."

Don't raise your child to be a "weight watcher". Healthy eating habits and an active lifestyle should begin at an early age.  At "One Potato Two Tomato" our goal is to teach parents, children and adolescents how to modify and balance their eating behaviors, increase physical activity, improve self-esteem and build a more positive body image while reducing the risks of early onset obesity related diseases, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure and type II diabetes. Our Registered Dietitians, Family Lifestyle Health Coaches, Certified Children’s Fitness Specialists, Personal Trainers and Child/Family therapists will instruct, educate and give all willing participants the skills, knowledge and motivation needed to adopt and or maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle that will last throughout a lifetime.

 

With a decline in health and physical education programs, early shortened lunch periods and limited recess time in many schools, we at “One Potato Two Tomato” have put our efforts into “picking-up the ball” where schools leave off by offering affordable unique private one-on-one and small group weight management, behavior modification, nutrition and fitness enrichment programs for “healthy weight”, “Overweight” or “Obese” individuals ages eight to seventeen. We offer four different levels of programs starting with simple nutrition and fitness education workshops that can be taken as an introduction &/or maintenance program and then continuing on to a moderate or more intensive weight management program, if needed and desired. Children and parents can enroll in any program level that best suits their health, nutrition, fitness and lifestyle needs and goals along with the supportive help and guidance from our staff.

 

All of our programs are designed, developed and scientifically based upon the latest scientific research.  Our fun-filled age-appropriate classes are designed to teach participants how to manage their weight, improve physical fitness, increase nutrition knowledge and instill positive behavior changes that empower them to make healthier food and activity choices. Diets and or dieting is not recommended in children and adolescents as they can have hazardous effects on growth and development, metabolism, self-esteem and promote unhealthy attitudes towards food and body image along with feelings of deprivation and binge-eating behaviors.  Providing a nurturing environment, diminishing the “quick-fix”, "weight watcher" way of thinking, understanding and promoting nutrition education, exercise and adoption of positive lifestyle behavior changes over time are our core values and must-have components for living a longer, healthier and fit life.
