"Before I reached out to Steph, I had put on weight, was feeling bloated, sluggish and experiencing stomach pain. It got to a point that I didn't know what to do anymore. As soon as I got in touch with Steph, my life began to change. From our first conversation, I knew I was in great hands. She cared about what I was going through and she wanted to get to know about ME and what foods I couldn't live without. That's when she created a Meal Plan that truthfully, was everything I could have asked for AND more. The entire 3 months were seamless because she was always there for me when I needed her. The weekly check-ins were fantastic because I was held accountable for what I was putting into my body and she would give me feedback each week. Within the first week, I had already started to notice positive changes. The bloating went down instantly, the energy I had was UNREAL and the stomach pains had subsided. Each following week just kept getting better and better. The weight was coming off, my skin was glowing and most importantly, I was feeling great! I made it through weddings, social gatherings, my birthday (with 2 chocolate cakes) the Christmas holidays etc. Every time I needed an alternative to my favourite foods, Steph had an amazing recipe ready for me to go. I can not thank her enough for changing my entire life around. It's been over 5 months, I'm down over 30 pounds and feeling the best I've ever felt in my life. I would recommend her to ANYONE that wants to feel amazing both inside and out! Steph, THANK YOU for making ME feel like 1 million bucks! xo"

Down more than 25 lb! Thanks to you I am a different person and I feel grateful for the changes I have achieved. Only with your support I changed physically and mentally. You guys made me a better person and I learned how I am more important than anybody and anything. Fit Fix Fitness is my church and both of you are my priests! - Tania Personal training client / Bootcamp Member |

I have much more energy during the day and for my workouts. I even started jogging (And I hated running). I'm down a whole size and a half on my waist. I'm a different person thanks to you.”

I reached out to Stephanie about 6 months the before my wedding in the hopes of slimming down and feeling my best on the day. I've been quite fit and diligent about my diet for a while but I seemed to
Have trouble making any further progress towards my goals for about a year. While I did want to lose weight before my wedding, I had also been reading a lot about holistic nutrition and aging, and I wanted to start consciously nourishing my body instead of 'dieting' just to be a certain size. I was and continue to be so impressed by Stephanie's depth of knowledge on nutrition and how food creates inflammation that in turn impacts how your body ages. She confidently addresses my questions (which are many!) and listens to my concerns. Her approach feels very personal and tailored, rather than a one size fits all solution. Plus, she's approachable so I don’t feel self-conscious about my questions or revealing my bad habits! Although my wedding has passed, I'm still working with her as the approach to eating and living has become a lifestyle for me. For the first time in a long time, I look forward to my meals thanks to her creative and simple recipes. Thank you SO MUCH!! - Kathryn H |

Hello! My name is Chloe and this is my story.
A few days after giving birth to my beautiful baby girl one of my friends asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding and I couldn’t have been happier! Of course, I said yes and the wedding planning adventure began. I didn’t realize that I was going to have to tell her my dress size right away and since this was my first time giving birth I had no idea how quickly the weight would fall off (or if I’d ever get back to my regular size).
Since I had nine months until the wedding, I guessed I’d be one size bigger than my regular size. We never had a fitting for these dresses and I didn’t receive my dress until January 1st which was exactly 6 weeks before the wedding. I was completely caught off guard when the dress was absolutely nowhere close to zipping up so I called my trainer at Pickering Fit Body and told him I was desperate for him to help me lose weight… quick!!!
While he definitely kicked my butt at the gym, he wasn’t completely familiar with a vegan diet so he introduced me to Stephanie. Stephanie has been my saving grace throughout this experience! She wrote me a delicious 7 day meal plan which was amazing! I loved the food I was eating so much that I never felt like I was on a diet and her constant support and encouragement was exactly what I needed.
She believed in me right from the start and made me feel like my goal was definitely attainable. It only took a few weeks for the dress to fit and I was so happy. A few days before the wedding I tried the dress on to make sure that it still fit and I was shocked when I realized that I had a whole new problem. The dress was way too big! This was a problem that I was more than happy to have and I was able to get it altered just in time for my friend’s big day.
The wedding has come and gone now but I’ve continued working with Stephanie and will continue to do so until my wedding day comes next year! My motto has always been, “once you find something that works you stick with it” and Stephanie definitely works!
If any of you are reading this wondering if you should give Steph a try, I promise you won't be disappointed!

Stephanie you have changed my life! I want to thank you for your guidance, patience and for your passion. The time you took with me to explain and go over my nutritional goals will never be forgotten. The knowledge that I have gained from consulting with you has been adapted in my life. I am forever grateful that our paths have crossed. You are truly a wonderful person to work with! Thank you!

Meeting Stephanie Di Grazia was a major life game-changer for me. Her unrelenting passion for seeing success in her clients and inspiring nutritional guidance made my transition to a healthy vegan lifestyle almost effortless. I had been struggling for years with low energy and excess weight issues but most importantly, I struggled to find a healthy path toward aligning my actions with my beliefs and compassion for animals. Thanks to Stephanie’s continuous support and advice, I saw amazing results almost immediately – in fact, greater progress than I did from years of high-intensity daily workouts. She helped me find the renewed energy and balance I was longing for and in the process, brought me to a personal best that I never thought I would ever see again. Family, friends and coworkers have made comments about the positive changes they are seeing in me. Truly thriving every day on her vegan plan. But most of all, I finally feel at peace with the fact that I can keep my meal plate healthy and cruelty-free. Thank you Stephanie for all your inspiration and encouragement!

"There are dozens and dozens of people on the internet offering meal and workout plans, but Steph is the first person that I really felt cared about my goals, and more importantly my well-being. She's with you every step of the way, and wants to see you healthy and happy. The simplicity and flexibility of her plans cuts a lot of anxiety out from the process and it becomes something you learn and apply forever."

Venessa came to me, already looking flawless but had aspirations to enter the modeling industry. She had hit a plateau and needed to tone up in order to meet the requirements needed to get her foot in the door and lead her on her path to success. Knowing nutrition would play a major role in meeting her 3 week deadline, we worked together to help to hit her targets in a healthy way and still have the energy to crush her workouts. Now she’s got her teeny tiny waist and looks as fierce as ever! Abs are made in the kitchen. Thanks to Steph, this meal plan has transformed my body (waist, hips, arms) and I'm not over eating anymore. If you need help with your nutrition and transforming your body YOU NEED to link Stephanie Di Grazia nutrition.she will help you achieve your goals and the food is delicious! - Venessa W |
"Hi there my name is Doreen and I would like to share my story. Earlier this year I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and I was convinced that it contributed to my weight gain. I contemplated about joining weight watchers again, but the whole weigh in thing, just didn’t do it for me. So after visiting my doctor in March 2016 I realized I had to do something aggressive and take control of my life. I was on Facebook one day and noticed one of my friends Frank A. commenting on his new friendship with food and thanking Stephanie Di Grazia. So I message him and said ok who is she and how do I get a hold of her. He gave me her name and since meeting Stephanie, she has helped me achieve a 25 pound weight loss since end of March of this year. My starting weight visiting my doctor’s office was 186 and today I am now 160. Stephanie taught me to love new foods with awesome new recipes that fit my busy lifestyle. I am a proud mom of two beautiful girls and happily married. Stephanie is an inspiring young talent with a wealth of knowledge beyond words. She reminds me how important it is to keep focus and why I started this journey in the first place. I am happy to consider Stephanie a good friend and mentor. Thanks Stephanie for caring about me, I am forever indebted to you for helping me reach my health goals."

About a year ago I was told that I had IBS from my doctor. I was always bloated, had weight gain, no energy and just not feeling right. I contacted Stephanie through her website to make an appointment. I thought to myself, there had to be something other than medication to help me.
I met with Stephanie and she was so nice and helpful. Right away she knew that we need to do an elimination diet to cut out foods she believed that I was reacting to. Within 3 weeks I was already feeling a difference. My bloating was gone, my skin started to clear, I lost weight and I had more energy.
I haven't taken any meds for my IBS since meeting with Stephanie. Her plans are detailed and easy to follow. Her recipes are delicious and the supplement recommendations were bang on.
Stephanie as a passion for what she does and cares for her clients. Thank you Stephanie!!

"Since meeting Stephanie, my whole life has changed.
Her guidance and nutritional planning are exactly what I needed to make a positive change in my life. Not only was I suffering with candida, I was not eating the proper things to lose weight or fuel my body. This is the first time I have lost weight safely, healthily and quickly. I would urge everyone and anyone wanting to feel better to give Stephanie a call. You rock! 💕"

Alex & Anthony P who lost 40 lbs each with me for a total of 80lbs lost! At such a young age they are such an inspiration with their dedication and motivation to change their lives. Proof that when you have guidance and a goal and are dedicated to getting there you can achieve anything. I'm so truly proud of them and their mom for all the hard work they've put in and I'm so happy and honored to be part of their journey because they have changed my life as much as I have changed theirs.

I was pursuing a life long dream. I had been preparing for Miss Universe Canada for four years. During my final year I felt as though time was passing quicker than ever. I had all the right people guiding me, my pageant coach, my personal trainer, my hair and make up trainer, my fashion consultant and of course, my family. I was in need of a nutritionist. I knew that it had to be someone I trusted since this goal was extremely important to me, I needed someone who cared enough to make sure I followed through with every inch of my plan. I noticed that Stephanie’s expertise was in the field of nutrition. I realized quickly that if I was going to have anyone on board with me as my nutritionist, it was her.
The moment I had asked her, she was quick to say yes and just like that, I had been able to manage six months of meal plans with her assistance on a daily basis to ensure that I was staying on the right path. I know nothing about nutrition, in fact, I didn’t even think that having a nutritionist was important. I figured it was something that I could do on my own. I learned very quickly that I could not of been more wrong.
There is not a single soul that I know that cares about people as much as Stephanie. I kid you not, the amount of work and dedication she has for her field made me re-evaluate the kind of work I wanted to pursue in my own. Every ounce, teaspoon, tablespoon or cup within my meal plan was explained. I never felt confused when making my meals and everyday I could feel my body change.
I lost forty pounds with Stephanie and truthfully, I don’t think I could’ve done it without her. I definitely think her work is undervalued and unappreciated, but I hope that one day people can look at her the way I do. She has changed my life in more ways than one but as you all know, if you don’t have your health, you don’t have much at all. I can never repay Stephanie. In fact, I don’t think she will know the true impact she has had on me as a friend and nutritionist. I wish her much success and hope that her future clients know that if they choose her, they will never look back. Thank you Stephanie for choosing me as client and a friend.

"Thank you to Stephanie for being my food intake counselor and nutrition expert and helping me make healthier choices. She’s always there to check in, push me and motivate me and to help me reach my goals and become more confident. I’ve already dropped 50 lbs and people have noticed a difference. Thanks for everything you've done throughout this year it was an honor and pleasure working with you. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for everything you've done for me and all the help you've given me. No one will ever understand!"
