Course Description

STOP GUESSING, START EATING WITH CONFIDENCE

Tired of hopping from keto to paleo to “clean eating” without lasting results? This evidence-based nutrition course hands you a flexible, science-backed system you can trust—no crash diets, no calorie confusion, no food guilt.

This is more than just a diet. It’s a complete nutrition plan for fat loss, muscle gain, and long-term health, made for beginners, gym-goers, and busy professionals alike.

  • Create flexible meal plans (vegan, high-protein, keto or mixed) that fit your lifestyle and budget.

  • Master macro tracking for beginners & portion control so restaurant nights and travel don’t derail progress.

  • Break fat-loss plateaus with sustainable strategies like reverse dieting and re-feeds.

  • Decode food labels & hidden sugars like a grocery-store pro.

  • Bust nutrition myths with real science—detoxes, “starvation mode”, fasting fears & more.

Your instructor

Hi, I’m Mag. Alfredo Scarlata — sports scientist turned nutrition-science devotee.

I started my career with a Master in Sport Science (focus on prevention & rehabilitation) and later deepened my expertise with graduate studies in Nutrition Science at the University of Vienna. For more than 25 years I’ve coached everyone from new mums to corporate CEOs, turning lab data on calories, macros and metabolism into results they can see in the mirror.

Today I run MyPersonalTrainer in Vienna, where I combine personalised training with evidence-based nutrition coaching. Media outlets regularly invite me to debunk diet fads and explain the science behind sustainable weight management — a role I’ve filled for 20+ years.

I've designed this as a practical, science-based nutrition course — ideal for self-coaching or as a nutrition system for personal trainers working with clients.


Who this course is perfect for:

  • Beginners looking for a complete fat loss nutrition plan

  • Gym-goers wanting to gain muscle or burn fat effectively

  • Personal trainers seeking a done-for-you macro & meal-planning system

  • Health-focused parents and professionals tired of the diet rollercoaster

Great course. It would be better if Information about micronutrient would have been included.

By Amy Chase on 2/20/2026

I found this course useful, there is a lot of very useful information. I think more downloads with the crucial information would be useful so one could refer to some of the course information more easily.
