I love CrossFit and had worked for about 3 years post-kids at finding a formula for Paleo-based eating and workouts that became really effective for me and my family. But I abruptly stopped eating meat and poultry in May 2018 after reading a book called A Plea for The Animals and found myself on a pretty rapid journey to becoming vegan. I didn’t know a single person who was vegan or how to reset my diet, so after about 6 months of trying to figure it out, I felt really off track and realized I needed help. I was so relieved in my first meeting with Katie because she had no judgement, was an athlete, and was focused on taking my existing nutrition and fitness knowledge and building a new strategy together. Meeting her was a big turning point for me and I LOVE Katie! Her work to help me identify protein sources and plot out what a day of eating should look like was invaluable. We expanded that perfect day into weekly plans and then used those plans to meal prep. That was truly the formula I needed to go back to eating properly on a consistent basis, complete my workouts with lots of energy and come back to a more recognizable, leaner version of myself. I honestly didn’t know if it was possible, but now I realize with the right plan, a healthy plant-based diet is absolutely possible AND enjoyable!

For the past year, I have been 100% focused on working out and it was time to start focusing on the food part of the plan. I thought carbs were the problem but funny enough carbs were the answer. It wasn’t about eliminating foods but about balancing them for weight loss and muscle recovery. Katie is the absolute best in identifying foods to eat for your specific workout regimens. I also travel a lot for work and having a food plan has been key to keeping me on track. My skinniest of skinny jeans are now loose 😊 and I have lost inches in all parts of my body. I feel better, sleep better, the hip and shoulder pain I was experiencing has subsided and my workouts have been escalated to the next level. Katie has helped me find the right food plan to work in conjunction with working out.

I was first introduced to Katie during her presentation at the gym. I was extremely impressed by her knowledge, well balanced approach to diet and focus on clean eating.
I had been struggling with high blood pressure and high cholesterol for several years. I also recently found out I had high triglycerides and low potassium. I wasn’t sleeping well, was suffering from digestive problems, was feeling run down and -- discouraged. I was also trying to lose some weight and the ‘ubiquitous’ belly fat. I was getting nowhere.
Then I met with Katie! She has a very holistic approach. She took the time to examine all aspects of my life – exercise, sleep, diet, down time, etc. She quickly pointed out the positives and negatives -- to achieving my goals. She gave many helpful suggestions and tailored a plan just for me. I made my choice (with her support) to make some serious changes in my life/diet. I met with Katie intermittently. She was great – always focusing on the positive, adjusting and readjusting my diet, exercise as needed.
It is amazing! In a matter of 5 months my blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides and weight – all decreased!! My potassium level increased to normal. I am sleeping well, my digestive problems have vanished and I have new energy!
Thanks to Katie – I got where I needed to go! (and of course will continue to work on it – with her guidance)

I can not say enough wonderful things about working with Katie. I have an autoimmune disease and I was tired of feeling tired and not seeing the results I was working so hard for. She listened to my needs and worked with me to prepare an easy to follow daily menu. No gimmicks, just real food. And more of it! If you are stuck and not seeing results go see Katie. You might be surprised at how much of a difference small changes can make.

I've known Katie as a friend of the family for years, I came across her Fit Social program via instagram and decided to give it a go. It was the perfect program for me. It gave me the kick start I needed to get back in the groove of working out and eating healthy. The workouts and meal plans fit perfectly into my busy life style. Her recipes are healthy, delicious and most importantly easy to make. I love that the program didn't require me to go to a gym and didn't take up a ton of my time. I even did the program for a quick 4 weeks going into the holiday season to make sure I stayed on track! In addition to a healthy meal plan and effective workouts Katie is available for any questions, comments or concerns you may have throughout the program, which I found tremendously helpful. I would recommend fit social or any of Katie's services for anyone who needs some support figuring out a healthy lifestyle that can work for them.

Katie came highly recommended by my doctor. Instead of sick care, I really needed to work on well care. Katie was a good fit from the beginning. She was optimistic, but realistic, and took in to account where I was at (not very healthy). We've been meeting almost every month, setting goals, looking at what I've been eating, adjusting what hasn't been working.
The biggest thing that has made working with Katie different than any other nutritionist is that she cares and looks at more than the nutrition aspect. We look at my exercising, how that will help me achieve my goals and how my nutrition contributes. She did a "kitchen consult," which was a turning point for me. She's available for questions--even those that seem silly. Her recipes are amazing, and have gotten me to try things I never would have in the past (though I'm still staying away from asparagus!).
I finally admitted a couple months ago that when I actually eat healthy, the rest of my life feels better and exercise is easier.
Katie doesn't preach any radical diets, just clean eating. Seems easy, but I need guidance and accountability--calm accountability. Because of her acceptance, I feel comfortable telling her the "slip-ups" and when I just need some coaching on what to eat and where to go with it.

Katie Diehl is a nutritionist and an athletic trainer extraordinaire. I met Katie when I was 56 years old and at least 20 pounds overweight. She has done an amazing job for me, and I’m not so easy. I’ve never been consistent with my workouts, and my eating habits can be pretty horrible – I’m a chocaholic, among other bad habits. In addition, I suffer from a chronic illness which can make workout consistency even more challenging. In the midst of all of this, Katie has been a godsend. She extensively researched my illness and developed a diet and exercise plan tailored to my individual needs. As a trainer, Katie has been fantastic – our workouts are hard but she makes them fun and entertaining, and she’s incredibly protective of me throughout. Katie is always sensitive to my health and well-being, and she’ll flexibly adapt our workouts to my sense of wellness on a given day. Throughout my journey, Katie has become a dear friend, and I consider myself so fortunate to have her in my life and helping me restore my health.

Katie is the real DIEHL! Her approach to nutrition and fitness makes it approachable, fun and easy to get in a healthy mindset. She’s developed creative ways to make healthy eating seem like cheating and food hacks that save time and gave me a new perspective on certain ingredients. Use avocado instead of mayo in tuna – brilliant! Mixing a bit of peanut butter and a splash of maple syrup into plain Greek yogurt for a sweet treat – amazing! Katie is passionate about what she does and is 100% dedicated to helping her clients succeed. I’ve learned how to balance my lifestyle and maintain a better way of living all around thanks to her coaching.
