Through spa lifestyle cuisine and nutrition education programs, The Hills’ nutrition philosophy promotes optimal health and personal well being through all stages of life.
Spa lifestyle cuisine encompasses a complete culinary experience that is enjoyable, practical, and satisfying to the senses – aromatic, beautiful and flavorful – as well as adequately nourishing to the body.
The spa lifestyle nutrition strategy promotes and teaches variety, moderation, and balance through a mindful approach that is conscious of the food’s origin and nutritional value. It advocates the consumption of quality whole foods that have been minimally processed and simply prepared to maximize the natural beauty, essence of flavors, and healthful benefits.
When possible, The Hills serve foods that are seasonal and raised and distributed locally by organic farmers and purveyors who utilize sustainable techniques.

1. We believe in boosting lean muscle mass to elevate metabolism. 2. We believe in planning or allowing approximately 60% carbohydrates, 20% fat and 20% protein in our nutritional planning. 3. We believe in a behavioral approach to weight management. 4. Our mission is to provide nutritionally balanced meals made with the best available natural sources of nutrients. 5. We believe that, in terms of well-being, food is a reflection of our overall health. 6. We encourage guests to eat with mindfulness, i.e. thinking about what we should eat, before we eat. 7. We believe weight loss is a side effect of an improved lifestyle. 8. Our chefs have also replaced some of the "non-or low fat products" with the real thing, which may have a little more fat, but are cleaner and healthier because of the lack of gums and additives.
 We are proud to share these important thoughts with you, as you begin your stay with us. If you have any questions, or need to make specific dietary changes, or just need some advise, Claire, our Kinesiologist, or Regula, our Wellness Director will be happy to assist you! Bon Appetite
