Meet Lori Tubbs
Hi, I’m Lori Tubbs, a registered dietitian and certified specialist in sports dietetics. I’m thrilled to be blogging for Bullfrog 13 & Friends, and really looking forward to sharing my life’s work with you. My philosophy and personal passion are to bring both fitness and nutrition to the forefront of any lifestyle change for better health.
For the past 14 years, I’ve been working as a military nutritionist and public health educator for many commands within the U. S. Navy. I have seen, firsthand, the hard work many endure on aircraft carriers, submarines and within the special operations community. Regardless of what military community one works with, anyone serving in the military, especially over the past eleven years, deserves a long lasting quality of life for the sacrifices made for this country. With the culture of physical conditioning and operational readiness, military members need to have the energy to sustain the pressures of the military and manage personal and family-related goals and objectives.
With respect to nutrition, people are all different with varying backgrounds and they have unique food likes and dislikes. Because people come from various environments, there is no one size fits all approach. It always helps for me to understand the motivation behind the lifestyle changes. Often the best advice is to look at food as a fuel, its fuel for the engine. You need high-octane fuel to perform as a weapon’s platform whether it is an aircraft carrier, F-18 jet or the human body. Changing eating habits for a lifetime can be challenging. It takes time and effort for a behavior to become long lasting.
It is an honor to be among a group as quality-driven as the Bullfrog 13 and Friends community. I’m excited to discuss my ideas and I hope you will share the challenges you may be facing with nutrition and lifestyle changes.
