Pieta Cedaro

Dietitian / Nutritionist  

APD, BHSc. (Nut & Diet) (Hons)

Pieta provides a number of specialist services to athletes and has dealt with more than 300 people locally and globally through her consultancy. For athletes the main two services she provides are:

1. A comprehensive dietary review, whereby athletes maintain detailed food records for 3 days. Pieta then analyses these records and provides personalised feedback and guidance as to how to modify dietary habits to (a) optimize long term health and (b) effective day to day training nutrition. This is an extensive report (16-24 pages) and provides detailed menu plans, recipes and specific brand names to make your shopping a breeze. In essence, this service is the equivalent of 10-15 face to face appointments with a dietitian. Pieta also allows explanatory follow-up phone calls/emails to clarify any aspects of her report. (Cost: $250 - includes GST)
2. Race day nutrition plan. Most athletes don't go into race day with strategic, planned and trialled nutrition (e.g. Carbo-loading and race day) plan(s). Pieta walks you through this step by step with what to do starting 72-96 hours out from race day, during the actual race and post-race to help optimize recovery. (Cost: $165 - includes GST).

Pieta also offers other services such as a comprehensive 12-24 week behavioural change service focussed around nutrition and the psychology of eating where she walks you through 24 education modules and provides weekly phone consults dealing with each weeks education module. This service is generally provided as a weight management service and ideal for athletes, aspiring athletes or the general public with disordered eating and nutritional habits who wish to shed 10-25 plus kilograms. Over a 3-6 month period Pieta teaches you new nutritional habits and walks you through behavioural change strategies designed ingrain healthier nutrition habits and your "relationship" with food. (Cost: $495.00 - includes GST).

Pieta not only specialises in sports nutrition but has vast experience  in many clinical areas such as healthy weight loss and maintenance, food intolerances, diabetes and cardiovascular health to name but a few.
