Lyssie and Tammy (AKA ""The Nutrition Twins"") are phenomenal! Not only are they extremely knowledgable but they are so easy and fun to work with - They are very nice and also very patient.

Not only did they help me look better but they helped me feel better about myself as well - which is priceless. Thank you Lyssie and Tammy!!!!! more

I have worked with Lyssie for about a year and I think she is wonderful. She is incredibly knowledgeable. She also is one of the sweetest, generous, most supportive people you will ever meet. I highly recommend Lyssie to anyone that wants to learn more about nutrition and work towards a nutrition goal. She really is amazing! more

The Nutrition Twins are incredibly knowledgable, caring and patient! I would highly recommend them as nutritionists to help you reach your goal. They have taught me so much, supported me in my weight loss journey and they are just amazing people. Their books are full of easy food swaps and great ideas of how to eat better and feel better. Thank you Nutrition Twins!!!! more

Been a little bit since I last went for a nutrition consult with the twins… only because their advice works and has kept me on the healthy path! Amazing how just some simple substitutions can make all the difference. Not only did the twins help me get leaner muscle mass, they also helped me achieve improvements in my energy level and better sleep. And like I said, even if I haven’t had an official consult with them in a while, they have always been available to answer my simple questions when I need a refresher no matter how much time has passed… plus they are always sending out helpful advice and cooking recipes. True expertise from probably the sweetest individuals you will ever meet… you can’t fail! more

The Nutrition Twins helped me slim down for a film when I thought my body had just stopped wanting to be slim. Lyssie Lakatos found where I was overeating and came up with a clean, easy plan that totally matched my lifestyle. Plus her superbubbly, positive and cheerful attitude made me feel like eating right was actually fun, and she focused on the fact that it was good for me, so it didn't register in my head as a diet. I am so grateful to be working with the Nutrition Twins! more

I've always been a pretty healthy eater and actively exercise but I went through some things and as a result gained about 30 pounds. As part of a fitness program I joined, the owners recommended meeting with Lyssie to get my diet in order.\r Best decision I made. Beyond taking the weight off, Lyssie helped me to create an eating plan that was balanced, healthy and a way of life - not some quick fix. I'm vegan and she worked within that framework. In addition to being incredibly knowledgable and experienced in nutrition (always keeping up with new findings), she is so positive and encouraging and patient. She was always available to answer any questions. \r I follow them on Facebook and their posts are wonderful and informative. They really make eating healthy fun.\r I highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks ladies!!!!! more

I decided about a year about I wanted to lose weight. I had gotten the nutrition twins name from a friend but I never got around to calling. My sister bought me my first appointment for christmas. So I went in for my consultation with my food diary and met Lyssie (One of the nicest women I've ever met) . I went back to her once every two weeks and we reviewed my food diary, and figured out what I was eating. Lyssie would review my diary and then take to me about changes that I should make. Some lessons where harder to learn then I thought but eventually I got the hang of it. We figured out eating tricks while traveling, and ways to avoid munch on nights out drinking. Essentially Lyssie taught me how to have and maintain a healthy diet no matter the obstacles. I lost 35-pounds with Lyssie! She changed my life! She has been like my own personal cheer leader since day one. If you want to make a life change then I recommend the nutrition twins! Pros: Right near the C train in Manhattan, Comfortable setting, Friendly staff more

I originally started seeing the Twins because I was having digestive problems. Over the past few months, we have systematically eliminated certain foods from my diet (like high-sugar foods, dark meat, and white bread) while incorporating other, healthier alternatives. My meals are now full of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein. Best of all, the Twins will work with your food preferences. \r \r With Lyssie?s help, I have learned to be mindful of what I eat in a variety of situations. Even difficult scenarios, like being at a restaurant or a party, become manageable with the secrets that Lyssie teaches you. At times, I have been very discouraged; with Lyssie?s constant flow of positive energy and creative ideas, however, it is impossible to be discouraged for long. \r \r A few reviews are written by people who have lost weight with the Twins. However, do not underestimate the Twins by thinking that they only help people lose weight; that is a limited perspective. That being said, my sister lost nearly 40 pounds while working with Lyssie. I myself have lost a couple of pounds even though weight-loss was not my original goal. \r \r The point of this review is to let people know that Lyssie Lakatos has been warm, compassionate, forgiving, and encouraging through every step of the way. She is exactly the person you want ?in your corner,? regardless of whether your ultimate goal is to lose weight, or (as in my case) to eat a meal without being sick afterward. \r \r Once you discover the Nutrition Twins, get ready for your whole life to change. Pros: friendly, efficient, organized, helpful, cheerful, warm more

I have recommended the Nutrition Twins book to many people who have given me positive feedback. The reason I suggested the book is because it is easy to follow and makes sense for every day life. It is the easy guide to weight loss. The trick is that one has to follow it precisely; not just part of it, all of it. The ideas, recipes, and food suggestions (whole wheat pasta and pizza) are so interesting and tasty. When I first started the book, I hadn't eaten as many vegetables and foods (grilled eggplant, asparagus, shitake noodles) as I do now. In addition, I cook more - which can be a lot of fun. The book is friendly and easy to use - but it's only good when followed. The Nutrition Twins however are so approachable and actually make dieting fun; keeping a food diary, monitoring weight, and having new food combinations with every meal; healthy ones. The only thing is that once you get started, you may start evaluating how other people eat (to yourself of course) and think how horrible it is - - but it will only make you feel better about yourself.

I have always struggled to lose weight. It's been a life-long battle for me, something that's always been weighing me down, both physically and mentally. I've tried everything! Every diet out there, you name it, I've done it. I was beyond frustrated by diets that didn't work and by my constant battle with the scale. This is all in my past now, as I am forever grateful to a friend of mine who referred me to the fabulous Nutrition Twins. They helped me to lose the weight once and for all. And the best part? It's not a struggle for me at all! They taught me they way to eat, and I still enjoy the foods I love. I'm never hungry, always have tons of energy and have never looked or felt better. The Nutrition Twins encouraged me every step of the way, never making me feel bad about myself when I'd have a slip up or have a bad day. They were my cheerleaders, guiding me and motivating me. They truly changed my life. And they will change yours too. I highly recommend them. You won't be sorry!\r more

When I needed to lose those last 10 lbs, I needed someone who could help me with a solid plan! I met with the Nutrition twins and they were so friendly and really helped me with a menu that was flexible and based upon my food likes and dislikes. You will not meet a more enthusiastic pair!\r more

Seeing the Nutrition Twins was the best decision I have ever made! Their positive, can-do approach to losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to keep it off motivated me and was so helpful. They created menu plans for me that were realistic - they were within my budget and also accounted for the fact that I have to eat out with clients. I lost weight and have been able to keep it off! Tammy and Lyssie provided the moral support and knowledge I needed - and helped me transform my life - literally! I am grateful to the Nutrition Twins and highly recommend them to ANYONE who wants to lose weight. Pros: Knowledge, positive attitude, friendly approach, great experience more
