"If you find your fridge packed with produce that you know you won’t be able to eat fast enough, don’t bring it to the trash. Instead, add fresh vegetables to a big batch of soup or tomato sauce, bake a fruit-filled pie, or simply steam your vegetables, let them cool, and keep them in the freezer for another day."     - Janel Ovrut, MS, RD, LDN

The Cycle Diet was developed by Debra Hope-Riedesel, a licensed registered dietitian (RD) specializing in women's health. The diet is based on the latest nutrition and medical research available on PMS, PMDD, and reproductive health.

Debra describes the diet plan as nutritionally balanced for all women between the ages of 15 and 55. Women who are younger or older have extra nutritional needs to be aware of. If you are the main caretaker and food provider for your family, the healthy changes you will be making will also benefit your family's health.

About KM Nutrition and Karen Marschel RD, LD, CDE, CLT

Karen's mission is to help women prevent and control diabetes with less medication by finding a food and exercise plan that works for them.

Karen's Philosophy
Even though diabetes medicines are better and more abundant than ever, I feel we are relying on them too much. Our American lifestyle makes it difficult to get enough activity and quality nutrition. To be successful with diabetes control and prevention we need to overcome the temptations of poor eating and no exercise. Long term success is key and diets are not the answer. I feel the best success comes when you have a personalized lifestyle plan combined with an ongoing support system. My job is to help you find that plan.

Professional Experience
For 15 years, Karen has worked with diabetes education programs and individuals. She is a registered and licensed dietitian and a certified diabetes educator. Karen is also a certified pump trainer for Medtronic insulin pumps. Her work experience includes developing community diabetes programs, American Diabetes Association recognized clinic programs and teaching individuals about all aspects of diabetes.

Karen's goal is always to provide professional service that gets results, along with an enjoyable experience!
