Who Is Melanie Lillis? “I AM a 25 year old, passionate, driven, a little crazy and quirky girl, with a major love for health and nutrition. I am also a qualified PDHPE High School teacher. I grew up very sporty and was an elite athlete, competing for Australia from the ages of 18-24. I competed in Sport Aerobics, which is a sport that has played a major part in what sparked my love for nutrition. Being at an elite level, I had to experiment with many different ‘diets’ to achieve different outcomes, like, weight loss, higher energy levels, increased muscle mass etc. It was throughout my sport that I discovered the profound effects that food has on the body and how different bodies react to particular foods. I not only became more educated on diets, I also became aware of the psychological effects dieting can have on an individual and how this can have a large impact on health. This is why I decided to study Eating Psychology. I can’t wait to combine what I have learnt - in this new certification - with the nutritional knowledge I currently have. >>
