A Weight Loss Dietitian Who
Won't Tell You to Eat Less
First things first: stop beating yourself up over weight that's crept on over the years. It happens to most of us, and it gets easier than ever after 40. The problem usually isn't your willpower. It's that the approaches you've tried were built on restriction, and restriction backfires.
Here's the counterintuitive part most of my clients don't expect to hear: what many people actually need to do is eat more food, more often. Your muscles are your main calorie-burning engine, and chronic undereating signals your body to slow your metabolism to protect you. My clients are often shocked when they fill their plates and the scale finally starts moving in the right direction.

Why eat less, move more
stops working
When you undereat and overexercise, your body reads both as stress and downshifts your metabolism, the same wiring that helped our ancestors survive famines. So the harder you crack down, the more your body digs in. A sustainable plan works with that biology instead of against it.
What I help
you build
We build meals around protein and high-volume vegetables so you're satisfied, not starving, and we make the plan fit your actual life. The goal is permanent habit change, not another short-term fix. Eventually your weight stabilizes at your healthiest weight, and it stays there. Sarah Mirkin, RDN, CPT, LD has over 25 years of experience and is the author of Fill Your Plate, Lose the Weight. Sessions are virtual nationwide, with in-person options in Beverly Hills and Palm Beach.
