ANTONELLA RICCO
Resolving this very problem.
If it is true that to fight or prevent cancer it is necessary to eat well and in a healthy way, it is just as true that accomplishing it is no easy undertaking.
If you live abroad everything is more complicated because often healthy foods are hardly available and some cultures encourage an unhealthy diet.
In particular many Italians living in New York have approached me because they have discovered numerous challenges.
Like you, these people chose to actively resolve their problems and reach a healthy lifestyle.

Culinary nutrition
Practical cooking advice, towards a new diet.
Where to find the right foods, how to pair them, how much and when to eat them, and how to cook them correctly without compromising the taste while preserving the nutrients and vitamins.
I’ve been living in New York for three years and I had been searching for a professional for a while to get advice on my diet, but I was having some trouble because the American diet does not respect my dietary principles.
I didn’t think it was possible to meet an Italian professional in this city with whom I could share my needs to follow a healthy diet who would at the same time help me to lose weight without giving up my Italian habits. Furthermore I was looking for, and much more importantly, a help in calibrating my husband’s diet who is suffering from a tumor.
Thanks to one of my dear coworker’s friend I was put in touch with Antonella Ricco.
Since our first phone call I immediately had the feeling that I had finally found what I had been looking for for a long time.
Antonella immediately gained my trust thanks to her kindness, competence and professionalism, on top of her innate communicative capacity and friendliness..
Since the first meeting my husband and I felt understood in our different needs and above all we found in Antonella a professional that knew how to listen to us, understand our difficulties and problems and immediately identify what was the right direction to go in and guide and support us along the journey, according to each of our specific needs.
From that moment Antonella became not just our dietary advisor but also a good friend, always available to listen and help us, following us step by step towards a radical change in our way of eating and in improving our health.
Tireless in always finding solutions to our various needs as they slowly presented themselves. Available to respond to all of our questions in every moment and always finding the right solution and also the appropriate directions on how to handle new methods and how to prepare meals and delicious dishes while using healthy foods.
The results that we obtained are surprising.
The results that we obtained are surprising. Furthermore, Antonella collaborated with Italian professionals that added natural supplements and medical consultations to our diet.
Thank you, Antonella!!
With your guidance, my husband and I have been on this journey for several months now to modify our eating habits and improve our health.
Thanks to your experience, professionalism, and constant advice I have achieved unexpected and exceptional results that I didn’t think I could obtain anymore at my age.
I can affirm now more than ever that the regimen you prepared for my husband suffering from a serious tumor is turning out to be very effective.
At the moment, after an intricate operation, my husband is undergoing a cycle of radiotherapy at the MSKCC here in New York.
The radiology oncologist that is caring for him during this cycle required the consultation of two nutritionists that collaborate with the same hospital.
Both during these meetings expressed their appreciation and their full approval of the dietary regimen followed by my husband, having explicitly stated, "you are doing very well! " " the nutrition is very good, you should continue to follow this!”.
We can not go without expressing our gratitude to you and above all our satisfaction that, american nutritionists, who are certainly far from our italian understanding of a diet, expressly approved and appreciated the dietary plan that your prepared for my husband during this really difficult period. Well deserved congratulations!!!
With all of our heart, we send you our most sincere thanks and gratitude for having guided, followed, and supported us during such a difficult journey.
Congratulations dear Antonella!!

Four months ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The doctor therefore recommended I lose weight (at least 20-22 pounds), I weighed 93 kg, and immediately change my diet. (“no diet, you have to detox first and than change your lifestyle, starting from the food”).
In a little less than three months, thanks to your directions as a nutritionist and the great privilege of having had you as a private chef, I can, with pride, publicly testify that I did indeed lose those famous 22 pounds (10 kg in three months) and I reversed my diabetes (as seen from the tests done recently with 6 out of 7 readings back into the normal range and the seventh borderline.)
This was without having to completely give up good Italian food or forcing myself into absurd and ineffective deprivation diets.
And this, as my doctor said, is surely due to my determination and constant following of directions and eating in the prescribed proportions, sequences, and varieties,...but above all thanks to the skill of who gave them to me and who followed me from the first moment with a daily personalized plan.
I can only thank you publicly because I am the proof of your professionalism matched with your passion and generosity in helping others.
Truly thank you from the bottom of my heart.
And then you go to the doctor to redo your tests after 5 months to check the values (readings) of the liver and you hear your doctor say “You’ve made a ridiculous improvement!”because I’ve gone from 52 to 25!!!
I owe it exclusively to Antonella Ricco who followed me step by step with her advice, her treatments to make me lose weight and to totally change my dietary regimen and with her Detox.
Thank you so much.
I’m 21 years old student living in England. I had no time to cook, I didn’t know how to cook and this caused me to always eat out despite my numerous complications like coeliac’s disease!
I was eating poorly and therefore had intestinal and skin related problems.
So I realized that I needed to and wanted to eat in a healthier way but without giving up taste.
Thanks to Coach and Private Chef Antonella Ricco and her invaluable advice I have resolved all of my problems...
Outstanding!
Special Thanks to Antonella Ricco for all her superb work and help.
Antonella not only created a detailed, diverse and complete meal plan for me, but also took me to the shops to teach me how to read labels and how to buy healthy food.
Furthermore she planned the diet working in collaboration with the physician that is helping me.
I’m really grateful for this service and this important experience.
The moment had arrived to find an equilibirium in my diet, defloat, and finally lose a few pounds.
Antonella gave me the opportunity to reach these three goals by teaching me a dietary regimen that has now become an essential part of my every day life.
Competent and available, she is a point of reference for nutrition and healthy living.
I recommend her to everyone.
The diet suggested by Antonella Ricco is based on her deep knowledge of dietary science and her great experience as a practicing nutritionist in the field.
Furthermore, it is also supported by the great passion she has for her work - which has one’s wellbeing as a goal - with which Antonella obtains an impressive result in terms of motivation.
It was illuminating for me to realize how you can learn to eat well, while staying in shape without having to put yourself through torture, but rather through learning a daily discipline in the art of preparing food for yourself and your family members.
I chose Antonella as my nutritionist because I thought that, being an Italian living in NY, she could better understand my needs and problems regarding my diet since I’ve been living abroad.
After meeting her in person to discuss my habits and after further
discussions regarding my health through blood analyses, she created a personalized dietary guide for me. health through blood analyses, she created a personalized dietary guide for me.
She helped me create an eating routine without having to deprive me of the foods that I love, because with Antonella you never call it a “diet” in the traditional sense of the word.
Antonella has always been available whenever I had questions and when I had a hard time, she is a person that guides you and is present during your dietary journey for any questions or even just for encouragement.
I am happy I met her and I am sure that we will be working together for a long time.
Last year I turned 50, and working in the restaurant with somewhat irregular schedules my meals were always off, so I had put on a few pounds values a bit 'off etc...
Speaking with Antonella (who is certified Culinary Nutrition Expert and board Certified Holistic Health Coach) I talk about a 3-month program based on new foods, detox and natural supplements.
In January I start the dietetic path (moreover without much effort) to the date today (May 2020) I have lost several kg, above all I feel good, no heaviness, swelling or tiredness. All without taking drugs but only supplements and a little more physical activity.
Antonella always present for any doubt, very professional and competent in his statements. I’ve already recommended her to several friends.
After I turned 50 and moved from Italy to Ny my body surrendered to menopause and unregulated nutrition...
Feelings of swelling, heaviness, headache ... feeling ready to change something I entrust to Antonella Ricco - Certified Culinary Nutrition Expert and board Certified Holistic Health Coach - which I presents a 3-month program based on new foods, detox Ed natural supplements.
I’m ready to tell myself and so we start...
