About

My name is Amari and I am a Registered Dietitian, blogger, and food enthusiast. I started blogging back in 2009 to document my lifelong love affair with food and nutrition. I am a licensed Registered Dietitian with a Master’s in Nutrition Science from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

I live in downtown Chicago (Old Town to be exact) where you can always find mouthwatering food, abundant farmer’s markets, and unforgivable blustery winds. In my free time you will find me cooking healthy recipes in my tiny apartment kitchen, experimenting with new and unfamiliar foods, and running miles upon miles along the shores of Lake Michigan. I have completed four half marathons in the past year and have hopes and dreams of becoming an “IronWoman” someday…someday.

Things I hate most are tasteless diet foods, excuses, hopeless weight-loss advice, and quitters. If you have time to breathe, you have time to eat healthy. It’s all about problem solving and planning ahead for your one-of-a-kind lifestyle.

Quit starving yourself into misery. Stop drowning in perplexing nutrition advice. Put an end to low energy levels and disease. Let’s meet! Learn how to fuel your body with the food it deserves with Eat Chic Chicago’s unique nutrition coaching services.
