Beyond Diet, an online nutrition and fitness community, shares with its members the expertise of nutrition coach and exercise specialist Isabel De Los Rios. De Los Rios holds a degree in Exercise Physiology from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. She has a certification from the Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiology Institute as a Holistic Nutrition Lifestyle Coach, and she holds the National Strength and Conditioning Association's highest certification.
Beyond Diet stems from De Los Rios’ professional knowledge as well as her personal experience. Overweight as a teenager and facing a family history of type 2 diabetes, she embarked on a personal fitness and nutrition project. She achieved an ideal weight and now looks forward to a healthy future.
Having found her own success, Isabel De Los Rios dedicated herself to helping others achieve similar results. She partnered with friend and entrepreneur Jeff Siegel, who designed a website that would bring De Los Rios' expertise to the public. That website became Beyond Diet, and to date it has connected thousands of people who support and advise each other in making healthful eating and activity choices.
Beyond Diet combines interactive technology with the connecting power of the Web. Members are able to ask one another questions and can also read De Los Rios' practical tips, which provide real-world solutions to help members maintain a healthy lifestyle. These tips include guides on how to make healthful choices at restaurants and where to find affordable organic foods.
Committed to supporting the community, Beyond Diet’s parent company, Live Smart Solutions, contributes to organizations such as Adaptive Gardens and the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation.
