“Keri is an exceptional dietitian! I found Keri after I felt un-heard and un-seen by other dietitians. I was looking to lose just a few pounds and was cast aside because I wasn't technically overweight. Keri heard my goals, made me feel understood, AND helped me achieve my goals by teaching me a better balance of food. Not only did she help me achieve my goals, but she also inspired me to become a dietitian myself! As a former client and current colleague, I highly recommend Keri if you're looking for a no-nonsense approach to learning how to balance your food and reach your weight loss goals. ”

About Keri Gans
I am a registered dietitian nutritionist with a Master's in Clinical Nutrition from New York University and a Bachelor's from Ohio University. I am also a certified yoga teacher, author of The Small Change Diet, a Shape Magazine & Forbes Magazine Advisory Board Member, and a blogger for US News & World Report. The Keri Report, my bi-monthly podcast and newsletter, helps convey my no-nonsense and fun approach to living a healthy lifestyle. I have conducted thousands of interviews worldwide and have been featured in media outlets such as Glamour, Shape, Self, Women's Health, The Dr. Oz Show, ABC News, PIX11 Morning Show, Good Morning America, and FOX Business.
On a more personal note-I hate kale and sweet potatoes, but I love Brussels sprouts and French fries. I practice yoga by day and enjoy martinis at night.
My philosophy in nutrition is quite simple. I don't believe in good or bad foods, just in foods that are better for you than others and in those we should consume more of. Honestly, I believe all foods can fit into a well-balanced diet. It's just learning about that balance that is most important. Deprivation is not part of my vocabulary, nor should it be in yours.
Ultimately, I do not believe in diets but rather feel strongly about making small changes in your life that lead to long-lasting success. Hence, I wrote my book The Small Change Diet to share my knowledge and what I have seen work with thousands of patients.
I recently moved out of NYC to Chatham, NJ, with my husband Bart and our four-legged son Cooper.

Keri is the best! She is professional and knowledgeable. She does not follow the fads, she follows the science and individualizes a plan best suited to your needs. Additionally, she is fun to work with and a good listenand he is a good listener.

I have been a client of Ms. Gans for about 15 years. She had me writing down the food I ate and what time. Together we would go over this list and discuss health changes. Sometimes it was a major change like not ordering cream spinach at my favorite diner and other times it was a small change like taking less after dinner mints. Her rational, sane approach is one of the major factors in my letting go of 130 pounds and (most importantly) keeping it off.

There is no better RD than Keri. She is no-nonsense. No fads. No quick fixes. She is all about the science, and takes time to really understand her patients and provide tailored advice that is suitable for their individual needs and life style. I have personally recommended Keri to many and will continue to do so without hesitation.

Keri is a wonderful care provider who uses her teaching of yoga to share nutritional insights in a way that is practical and mindful and relational. It’s not a one size fit all approach but rather about how we can each take charge and foster our own wellness. And she’s so fun to be around! I highly recommend!!!
