Sharone Sapir, M.S

“If past weight loss attempts have left you frustrated and confused, you must change your relationship with food and yourself.”

My Approach

I combine an evidence-based approach with the right support to put you in a healthy mindset and emotional space. I support you in making educated food choices, while teaching you how to incorporate and enjoy the foods you love.

My Process

When you work with me, you will learn why energy balance, rather than specific “good” and “bad” foods, is the key to weight loss. I teach you skills that will last you a lifetime, so you never have to worry about yo-yoing again.

Unique Framework

I work to reverse the dreaded downward spiral ingrained in you as a result of being on restrictive diets in the past. I want you to feel comfortable maneuvering in ANY food environment. I give you the tools to make eating healthy and enjoyable.

Our family (me, my husband and son) have been working with Sharone Sapir since August 2020. We were all home, adjusting to self-quarantine and realized that we needed some help to keep us focused on our healthy lifestyle. We were exercising regularly but our diet was a little more erratic. We were definitely snacking more on what Sharone called "processed food" - it was convenient and usually within an arms reach in the kitchen! We were also getting a lot of takeout from restaurants. Looking for some help and guidance, we reached out to Sharone to discuss a proposed plan to help us become more consistent with food choices. During our initial call, Sharone addressed our individual needs and we decided to move forward. Sharone created an action plan for us that was doable without creating unnecessary steps and also helping to eliminate stress on overly focusing on food and what we ate. One of my favorite things about working with Sharone is her support regarding eating within our lifestyle. She understands and supports having "fun eating days" making it easier to focus on the positive. She also helps us identify areas where we could improve our food choice (for example, adding protein). This kind of thinking is consistent with our family philosophy - choosing to celebrate each day - while balancing diet and exercise.

Partnering together with Sharone over the last 9 months has been wonderful for our family - each one of us has lost weight, consistently eating more healthy and exercising.

Thank you Sharone for all your support and encouragement and we look forward to continuing to work together!

I started working with Sharone when I was seeing numbers on the scale that I had only ever seen when I was 40 weeks pregnant. That also coincided with 2020, so my depression and anxiety were sky high. I felt horribly about myself, and the amount of weight I needed to lose was overwhelming and making other parts of my life difficult. I was so ashamed of my weight gain that I went out of my way to avoid being in photos and I now realize that what I really did was sacrifice documenting a year of memories with my kids. I had tried other diet plans in the past (WeightWatchers, Noom, intermittent fasting, heavily restrictive eating), and would lose weight but gain it (and then some) back. I knew those weren't going to work and that I needed more support and accountability. This is the first time I've had so much success with my weight loss, and I wouldn't call it a diet. Sharone helped me learn why I was reaching for foods that were not nutritious and pinpoint what was triggering my overeating and I never once felt shamed. We slowly made manageable changes to my diet that have enabled me to acknowledge my wants and feelings without neglecting my needs and goals. Since working with Sharone, I'm back at a weight that I haven't been at in years, feel healthier and more energetic than I have since my 20s, and recognize myself again. I'm eating more food and have learned to balance fun foods with nutritious food so I can enjoy life while still reaching my goals. My relationship with food has changed, and I have the tools to navigate tricky food situations and set myself up for success. I don't have "the perfect body," but I have a body that I'm confident and comfortable in, that takes me on adventures with my kids and carries me through long runs. I can say with confidence that I will never waste my money on any diet program ever again. Choosing to work with Sharone was the best decision I've ever made for my health!

Sharone is so helpful in keeping you accountable but not shaming you for off days. She believes life should be lived and thus teaches a healthy balance that is sustainable and effective! My relationship with food is the best it's been In 20 years.

Gwen W

I learned a lot with Sharone, particularly how to stop snacking all day long. I also lost weight slowly but surely and learned how to not let the fluctuations in the scale throw me off. I also learned how to combine proteins and carbs to avoid hunger and learned to not be afraid of eating fun foods every now and then. Sharone was very responsive to any questions I had and always responded within a day at the most 🙂

Amanda

In January of 2019 I started working with Sharone, who is an awesome, well-educated (seriously), supportive Nutritionist. When we first started out, I was overweight, seriously down, and unable to exercise like I had enjoyed previously. Sharone was so enthusiastic about taking small steps in a better direction that it rubbed off on me. After a year since we started, I’m in a healthy BMI range, I LOVE building muscle, pumping my heart, and making good food.

Sandra

Sharone is patient, hilarious, realistic, genuine, and smart! My goal wasn’t weight loss…I just wanted to feel better. No more bloating, gas, discomfort, stomach pain, etc. And working with Sharone has helped me eliminate all of that plus I lost weight. I’ll never be able to thank her enough.

Perri

Sharone has helped me finally understand how and why I’m supposed to eat what I eat. With her help, I not only feel better about myself but also have a better relationship with food . I no longer fear what I want to eat or the repercussions of an off day.

Aviva

I wanted to thank you for EVERYTHING. You really helped me in so many ways, ways I can’t really describe. I found you in a panic in my 7th month and you made yourself so available for me and helped me through a difficult time and because of that, my baby and I are not struggling with diabetes. I look forward to working with you again when we try for baby number 2. I tell everyone how awesome you are.

Steve

Working with Sharone is one of the best decisions i have ever made. I was overweight and generally unhappy which led me to seek out a nutritionist for help with losing weight. Before meeting with Sharone i was afraid she would give me a diet of boiled chicken and steamed veggies. i could not have been more wrong. She worked with me to find out which foods i liked and came up with a plan to help me not only lose weight but enjoy myself while doing so. Sharone also looked at the menus for all of my favorite restaurants and gave me healthy options so i could enjoy myself while dining out. In approximately 6 months i lost 32 LBS and am a much happier person. If you are thinking about making healthy changes to your lifestyle, be sure to call Sharone. It was the smartest decision i have ever made.

Elaine

I can’t overstate how fortunate I am to have found Sharone as my nutritionist. As an experienced dieter, I knew what needed to be done, yet lacked the motivation to carry through on necessary steps. When I hired Sharone, she took a thorough intake interview, and then laid out a simple but nutritionally sound plan, including regular contact by email and phone. The accountability was key to my success. She was able to convince me not to get discouraged when I felt like quitting. She is not a fan of the quick weight loss schemes, but instead focuses on changing eating habits (including pretzels-lol!), and she does this in such a kind and gentle way, backed by science. She has an advanced degree in nutrition, so she can speak with authority on the subject, unlike so many who dabble in the subject. When I received an incidental lab result for an A1C (a blood marker for diabetes) that was borderline high, Sharone tweaked my plan to treat it nutritionally so it would not progress, and it worked! It turns out that Sharone has a particular interest in nutritional approaches to prediabetes/diabetes. Bonus for me! She stated early on that her goal was for me to be able to manage my eating plan independently, and I reached this goal about two months ago. However, her presence on Instagram, full of good food ideas, continues to inspire me to maintain my new-found dietary habits. Plus, she’s funny. Another bonus! Thanks, Sharone!

Sheryl

THANK YOU SHARONE! Being able to trust you 110% was an absolute game changer for me. Finding you has been one of the best things to ever happen to me.

Samantha

I could not have done this without Sharone. She truly helped me through the emotional components that come along with weight loss.

Nadia

What Sharone does is more than weight loss. She’s more than a nutritional coach. This is a transformational, physical, mental, and spiritual journey in the sense that she promotes well-being.

Elizabeth

Before I was mindlessly eating and snacking on “healthy” granola bars and what not. Now I’m so much happier eating more whole foods and more lean protein. Thanks Sharone!

Lucy

At 42 I blamed my slow and steady weight gain on age, hormones, stress, work, kids, you name it! Without any judgement, Sharone helped me realize that my diet was the culprit. She gently guided me in directions that helped me make better choices. I was able to figure out which foods made me bloated and uncomfortable. Sharone also introduced me to new foods I never would have considered. I lost 9 lbs and have been able to keep it off. Overall, my experience with Sharone was lovely and positive. She is encouraging, warm, smart and FUNNY.

Larry

Working with Sharone has been a game changer for me. I’m active and tend to eat clean and healthy, but in recent years I’ve struggled with a few extra pounds. Sharone’s approach to weight loss is simple and sensible. As a nutritionist and coach, she’s a perfect mix of honesty, firmness, and empathy. I lost over 20 pounds with Sharone’s help and am totally confident in my ability to keep it off. Thanks Sharone!

Sharone has changed my entire understanding of nutrition and how to best take care of myself with food and exercise, and does so with love, support, knowledge, and most importantly humor!

Allison C.

I had the pleasure of working with Sharone for 7 months and it was transformative for me. Both mentally and physically.

I knew the basics of what it meant to lose weight: burn more calories than you consume in a 24-hour period and do it consistently over time. Seems simple. But over the years, the diet industry had really gotten into my head so much that it was hard for me to really know what to do. The diet industry is constantly filling our heads with do's and don'ts, and almost none of it is evidence-based.

Sharone guided me in making sustainable lifestyle changes to better my health. With Sharone, I was able to learn the truth about how to eat and care for myself versus the dogmatic lies of diet culture.

One of the things that I appreciated about working with Sharone is that there was no shaming, ever. She was always supportive and guided me in understanding why I was extra hungry at times or why I made a choice that wasn't ideal.

Another great thing about working with Sharone is that while she was there to support me a hundred percent, she wasn't going to do the work for me. At one point I asked her to give me a meal plan. She responded to my request by explaining why she didn't feel like that was ideal and guided me into strategies to help myself eat better throughout the week. This was more empowering to me than any meal plan could ever hope to be. A meal plan will help you lose weight, strategies help you change your life.

There are too many weight loss programs out there that are highly structured. While people are able to be successful in these programs, once they end, people are often left feeling like they don't know how to manage a healthy lifestyle outside of these really rigid programs. And on another note, if it's really rigid, is it really good for our mental health?

Before working with Sharone, I felt really overwhelmed and I felt like it was not really possible for me to lose weight. After working with Sharone, I came to realize that managing my weight was actually quite easy and not nearly as challenging as I had thought.

I can now quickly discriminate between health claims that are just gimmicky advertising versus what is truly a healthy lifestyle choice.

I also felt comforted in the fact that no matter what Sharone and I were doing, my mental health was the biggest priority.

My biggest takeaway from this whole experience is that now I am empowered to take the best possible care of my body. I have completely transformed my relationship with food. I no longer feel shame. I am no longer gullible to trendy diets and products.

I lost about 46 lbs in the 7 months that I worked with Sharone. It's certainly nice to look better in my clothes, but my biggest takeaway from this experience is having better physical health, mental health, and having a fantastic relationship with food.

Max K

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all the help you've given me during our time working together! With your help and guidance, I feel really good about my future with nutrition. I also feel confident about my ability to continue to maintain weight and even lose weight all thanks to you. I'll continue to use everything you've taught me for the rest of my life! Thank you so much!! If we didn't get your help, who knows how much weight I would have gained during this pandemic? I would not have maintained, that's for sure. Thank you again for everything.

Lawrie B

Sharone was excellent in helping me set healthy and realistic goals. She was understanding of the trauma and losses I had faced and helped guide me to a better appreciation of my body and a much healthier relationship with food. I don't have to starve myself or be afraid of carbs. Thank you Sharone, your guidance has been a lifesaver!

About Sharone

Hi, I’m Sharone. I spent most of my life struggling to make peace with food. On one hand, I love eating and my palette leans towards sweet and/or doughy. On the other hand, diabetes runs in my family, and I’ve always been concerned about my health. For years I tried swearing off “bad” foods only to find myself binging on them alone in the kitchen, late at night. I intrinsically knew that the various books and internet articles about nutrition I devoured were not putting me in a healthy place with food and myself. I attended the Masters program in Nutrition and Education at Columbia University, and that was the beginning of a whole new outlook. Since then, I have merged an evidence-based strategy to weight-loss with a personal and emotional one. My clients get a comprehensive approach to nutrition which takes into account lifestyle, food, and mindset.
