Personal Consultations
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
"The Laureate Weigh class on weight loss and nutrition finally put together for me what I needed to lose – and keep off – dozens of pounds, with no gimmicks! Laureate’s nutritionist educated me about the foods I eat inside the home and out, making better food choices, understanding what is in the food I eat, how there is no substitute for physical activity, as well as portion control and balanced nutrition. This isn't a diet – this is a set of user-friendly tools for healthy living while you lose weight, then learning to keep it off."
