I initially signed up for three sessions with Liana with hope of restoring some balance and healthy habits in my life. I had always been an active and fairly healthy eater, but over time I fell into a major rut and couldn't get myself out of it. It was time to call in reinforcements. Liana was perfect! I shared my goals, issues and quirky/fussy eating habits with her and she suggested starting a food journal to pinpoint specific issues that were affecting my health (stomach pains and digestive issues). Instantly my bad habits were exposed! She came up with a plan to alter the way that I eat and what I eat to see if my stomach would feel better. Low and behold, I cannot remember the last time I had a stomach ache! I didn't start seeing her for weight loss, but that has been an added benefit of her plan, as well as just being healthier all around. Ask and you shall receive with Liana. She has been so helpful and has continuously gone out of her way to make sure I am on the right track. She has sent me several recipes that suited my tastes and my goals, checked in via email several times between sessions and is always open to questions and concerns. Liana has the perfect balance of being professional and being your friend. She made me feel completely comfortable from the very first meeting. She's extremely warm and knowledgeable and I always look forward to sharing my struggles and my progress with her. She knows what makes people stumble and what can bring people back up and with her support it's made even the most difficult challenges seem doable. She is a great motivator and cheerleader and I have felt a great sense of accomplishment from her reactions to my progress and new understanding of what it's like to really be healthy and live life at the same time. Liana is very highly recommended. You may think you only need a couple of sessions, but I have found that the more time I spend with her, the better off I am. This is why I will continue to see her into the foreseeable future. read more

My father recently passed away which was a wake up call that I needed to get healthier. I joined Weight Watchers and quickly became annoyed with the need to figure out points for everything that I was eating and drinking. Also, I didn't see much change in my weight. I needed a program that I could stick with and that would help me lose weight. I checked with my insurance (BCBS) and was told that they would cover appointments with a Nutritionist/Dietitian and all I would be responsible for was a copay as long as I had a referral from my PCP. I found Liana online and she ended up being an in-network provider with my insurance. I was so excited. I have met with Liana several times since starting with her and I have lost over 20 pounds so far. I have learned how to make better food choices, keeping an eye on portion sizes, choosing healthier snacks, healthier ways of cooking, along with other things. Liana has given me meal plans to show ideas of what to eat throughout the day. She has also sent me some yummy (buy healthy) recipes. Two of the best things that I like about working with Liana is that 1) She doesn't judge you (even when I thought it would be a good idea to make mimosas for myself using 2 whole bottles of champagne) and 2) I can email her anytime with any questions (I have a lot) and she is always quick to get back to me. She also emails to check in and make sure I am staying on track. It definately helps knowing that someone is there to help you. If you need help with eating healthier, I would definately recommend Liana DeLoid, she has helped me a lot. read more

After my last physical, my doctor advised me to adopt a high fiber diet. I also was a whopping 140 pounds. I asked my YMCA staff if they could recommend a nutritionist. They gave me Liana Deloids name. I met with her in May and went over my goals..drop 14 pounds and incorporate a high fiber diet into my everyday life. Sounds simple..not really, I am a vegan and a cancer survivor. Liana has been such a wonderful source of information. She has held my hand guiding me to healthy food choices that I like! In between visits, Liana shoots me emails to check in..in the early days just knowing she was watching I decided to stop eating potato chips which is my trigger to eating as many chips and then cookies I have in the house. She encourages me to drink more water and eat smaller portions. I was so happy to hear her say I can eat pizza just watch how many slices. What an idea!! I am happy to say I am now down 13 pounds!!! Since May!! I feel better..I actually bought a size six slacks and they are roomy! I am so thankful for this learned woman who is guiding me to a healthier lifestyle. I am doing well eating a high fiber diet every day. If anyone out there needs an educated lovely to work with nutritionist, you really should give her a call. Sincerely, Mary McLoughlin read more

R H: North Shore I signed up with Liana November 2014 after inuring my knee in September. I had read that every extra pound in weight you carry is the equivalent of 4 pounds on you knees. So I was determined to lose 25 pounds. I had tried many times in the past but my efforts were hit and miss. I would lose 10 pounds but then gain it back not really understanding why. Oh, I knew why I gained the weight back but without an understanding of what I was doing right I was unable to repeat the loses at will. Liana has given me the knowledge so that I am now able to make good eating decisions on a daily basis. OK, I still backslide once in a while. But it is only a pound or two and with Liana checking up on a regular basis I find myself back on track in short time. I am about half way to my goal. It hasn't been fast but it hasn't been hard to do. In fact when I eat the right foods I just don't feel hungry. When I eat the wrong foods it seems like no amount will satisfy my hunger. If I focus on my knee i know it still has problems. The biggest difference now is that my knee is no longer the center of my focus. I am able to do more, feel more energetic and less tired all without thinking about my knee. Thank you Liana! read more

Liana did nothing short of change my life. She opened my eyes to healthy food/eating habits. I have been working with 2.5 months, and it has been absolutely life changing for me. She gave me tips on what I should be eating and when I should be eating during the day. (Waiting until 3pm to have my first meal was NOT the way I should have been eating!) Liana is extremely warm, kind and understanding. She gets what it means to be a mother of young children, and how hard it is to make yourself a priority throughout the day. She gave me the tools to become successful, and enjoy food again (not just the food off of my kids plates!) Liana is absolutely incredible to work with, and is so supportive and encouraging. She is absolutely your biggest cheerleader, and is happy to help with any questions you may have at a given time, whether is be weight related or food related. She reminds me to drink more water, and to eat pizza or a bagel if I want it. She checks in frequently, and gives meal ideas, snack ideas and recipes. She is absolutely fabulous to work with. Thank you, Liana! read more

I have been a relatively healthy eater for years. A year and a half ago I made some "healthier" adjustments to my diet and was both surprised and chagrined to see my weight increase. Still, I was looking forward to my yearly physical to see the impact these changes had on my blood levels (which were not bad to begin with). I was so totally blown away when my cholesterol and glucose levels were found to have gone from good to awful!! I immediately asked for a referral to a nutritionist. Liana was not my first appointment: she is the one I will stay with. With Liana's guidance and suggested modifications to my diet, in 6 weeks my blood levels improved and I lost 9 pounds. This was done within the dietary framework that was important to me. I found Liana easy to work with, professional and accessible. She is realistic: she takes the time to identify what is important to you and suggests modifications that fit that profile. She is informative and is well versed in the e-tools available. She is instructive in giving you the tools to help yourself. She IS engaging! read more

We had Engaging Nutrition as a professional presenter for a staff education session on how nutrition relates to wellness. Liana did a terrific job presenting & speaking about nutritional tips. All employees that attended the session learned a lot from Liana and walked away with wanting to try something new whether it was shopping for a new healthy item, removing a food from their diet and adding a healthy alternative or completely revamping their diet. Liana showed the group that she is extremely knowledgeable about nutrition and how people can make nutritional changes. Throughout the session Liana was attentive and respectful to the attendees. The other plus about the session was that Liana has a lot of energy speaking about nutrition and this made the session enjoyable for all those who attended. I would highly recommend Engaging Nutrition to any place of business if they are looking to help their employees with their nutritional goals. read more

When we had our first child nearly 9 months ago, I was really hoping to breastfeed for the first year. But, when our baby was diagnosed with intolerances to dairy, soy, nuts, egg and gluten we were upset we would have to switch to formula. Liana helped us every step of the way, providing helpful resources on foods, snacks and meal planning. She checked in regularly and followed up with us after each doctor's appointment, and was always available when we had questions. She supported our decisions without bias or judgment, and we were so lucky to have had her help during such a challenging time. She made what we initially thought impossible a reality. Not only was she insanely knowledgeable, but she was so fun to work with. We highly recommend Engaging Nutrition! read more

Six months ago, after a couple of health scares and reaching the +300 plateau, I decided it was necessary to change the way I used and abused food I hired Liana as my nutritionalist to guide me through the process of eating responsibly and properly. I did not go on a diet, I merely followed her guidance on how and when I should eat. The results have been fantastic. I have dropped 35+ pounds, I feel better than I have in years. Liana's positive style of coaching and teaching the proper ways to stay nutritionalized has been a God - send. I highly recommend visiting her if you want to return to a healthy lifestyle DGW. read more

My family and I have had a wonderful experience working with Liana. My 2.5 year old son has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and is one picky eater. Liana came to our house and spent time observing our son eating and giving recommendations on how to integrate healthy foods into what he currently eats. Nutrition is a big concern of mine as I don't want his limited diet to have a negative impact on his development. Liana gave realistic tips and also checks in and provides follow up so that we don't feel like we are on an island with his eating issues. Can't thank Liana enough and highly recommend her! read more

With all the confusing information out there regarding nutrition and dieting, I needed some help to weed through it all. Liana has been a fantastic resource in helping me transform my eating habits and eat healthier. When you meet with her she doesn't put you on a "diet". She evaluates your personal goals and gives you tools and support to reach them. She is realistic and doesn't expect you to give up what you love or restrict your eating in a way that you can't maintain. I think if you are mentally at the point where you feel you need to seek help, you will have success working with Liana. read more

I started visiting Liana earlier this year and it honestly has been one of the best experiences. I've seen nutritionist in the past, but nothing compares to the dedication, passion and support Liana has given me. This healthier lifestyle journey has its ups and downs, and to know that she's there, even in between visits, makes it seem possible to attain. I've learned so much this year alone and couldn't have gotten to where I am, yet not where I want to be just yet, but not without Liana. If you are stuck in a routine or don't know where else to go, I guarantee that Liana can help! read more
