A personal consultation with one of our Registered Dietitians is a great way to get started with a program to help manage your health and your weight.
During the initial consultation, several areas will be covered by the dietitian:
- Review of your medical history and diet
- Anthropometric measurements (Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference)
- Biochemical lab value assessment
- Development of a practical/balanced nutrition plan that meets your personal needs and lifestyle
- Resources
During follow-up visits, the dietician will:
- Review your dietary history and intake
- Monitor outcome assessments with previous measurements
- Evaluate adherence to meal plan and physical activity goals
Depending on your health management and dietary plan, expected outcomes will include:
- A reduction in blood pressure
- Weight reduction (5-10% weight loss within 6-12 months)
- A lower Body Mass Index (BMI) 1-2 units
- Decreased waist circumference,
- A lower total LDL and triglyceride cholesterol
- Stabilized or increased HDL
- A reduction in fasting blood glucose and improved A1C
