We teach you how to live a healthy life, be kind to yourself and let go of unrealistic expectations. We can often be our own worst enemy when it comes to weight loss.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

That is a difficult question to answer because we are all unique individuals. It really depends on how well you apply yourself and how closely you follow our suggestions. We generally see weight loss of 2-8 lbs a week, but prefer you lose weight slowly, a few lbs a week. This is not a rapid diet program but a means to learn how to live a healthy life. You may have spent past years making choices that were not so good and the weight slowly crept on. In this program we teach you to make better choices, reprogram the subconscious and train yourself be accountable. When you begin to do this the weight will melt off.

What if I don’t like to food on my meal plan?

No problem, we are just giving you general dietary recommendations it’s up to you to find food you truly like eating. If we don’t like the food we simply won’t eat it. It’s important to LOVE eating again. As you begin to understand nutritional content you will know what foods are the best choice and pick the nutrient dense foods you love to eat. Your meal planner is just a template for you, it can be modified and adjusted to become a delicious meal that you look forward to eating. Feel free to exchange meals and snacks from different days, just be sure that you are not going over the recommend calories and nutrients recommended. You can even choose foods that are not on the meal plan, but be sure these are similar in nutrient content. Be sure these are whole foods, for example you can exchange Oat Meal for Oat Bran or Broccoli for Brussel Sprouts. If you are not sure how to make these modifications we are always here to teach and offer support.
