Change My Eating

Jenny Arussi of Change my Eating literally saved my life. I was super-​massively obese. With Jenny’s help I was able to lose 60lbs that qualified me for gastric bypass surgery. I went on to lose more than 230lbs. with her continued guidance.
Jenny provides a supportive and non-​judgmental environment where I could be honest about what and how much I was eating. And when inevitable slip-​ups occur (a bag of Oreos, for example), there was no shaming, just refocusing on the goal and discussing how to mitigate the situation now and in the future.
In addition, Jenny teaches how to make the best decisions regarding our food choices. She demonstrates how to make your plan work, even when you don’t have time to cook a meal from scratch. She helps you make it work for your lifestyle.
Beside the support, Jenny is also a font of knowledge, educating us not only about what to eat, but also the behaviors surrounding our eating habits and how we can be better. What’s more, she helped me change my thoughts around how diets work and framed it in a way that led me to success.
One of the most crucial aspects of my successful weight loss was working with Jenny on an ongoing basis and the accountability she afforded me.
Three years after my surgery, I still see Jenny on a regular basis and I learn something new everytime.

Weight is such an important health issue and also a very emotional one. I am among the ranks of those who have tried everything, and I was losing hope when I was lucky enough to connect with Jenny Arussi.
Jenny is an amazing dietitian. She is incredibly knowledgeable, keeping abreast of the science of weight loss. No trendy fad diets here. She is supportive, compassionate, and knows how to give you a positive push when you need one.
She is also incredibly pragmatic and solutions-​oriented. She understands the population of patients she’s working with — and that for some people, living on kale and grilled chicken just isn’t going to work in the long term. She is committed to helping her clients find healthy solutions that really work with their lives. If you’re a busy person, if you have a high-​stress life, if you’re tired of conflicting and complicated dieting advice… Jenny Arussi is your answer.
With her help, I lost 70 pounds. I have ultimately chosen to have weight loss surgery, and having her as part of my team is as important as the surgeon I chose. In fact, I know that the long term success of my surgery will be because of her support, guidance and sound health advice.
She cares about your success. She understands where you’re coming from. She will help you trouble-​shoot until you have a solution that works. She will help you get the results you need to be healthier and to feel better.
I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Jennifer Arussi is a wonderful dietitian! As a psychologist, I have collaborated with her for several years to help people who are struggling with their weight and have witnessed the great work that she does. She is extremely supportive and is knowledgable when it comes to giving clients specific suggestions on exactly what to eat and helping them figure out where they may be stuck. She is also very accessible to her clients between appointments both via phone and email, and often checks in to see how they are doing. Jenny is also very knowledgable when it comes to working with people who have undergone bariatric weight loss surgery. She is up to date on all the medical research regarding weight loss.
