What is nutritional counseling?

What should I expect during nutritional counseling?

During nutritional counseling at F.I.T Medical Weight Loss & Optimization, you meet with a highly trained weight loss specialist to review your medical history and diet. They also weigh you, assess your body mass index (BMI), and complete a body composition analysis and wellness testing.

Your provider asks questions about your diet and usual portion sizes, as well as your sleeping patterns and exercise regimen. They recommend blood tests to detect or rule out nutritional deficiencies, as well as high cholesterol, high blood sugar, and other disease risk factors.

What will my nutrition plan consist of?

Your personalized nutrition plan consists of a meal plan to follow to get healthier or reach your goal weight. It’s rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, proteins, healthy fats, and other nutritious foods in recommended amounts.

You might also take medications to reduce your appetite, hormone therapy to balance your hormones, or take nutritional supplements to maintain exceptional wellness.

Your F.I.T Medical Weight Loss & Optimization provider follows up with you and makes changes to your nutrition plan if necessary. You can call the office any time you have questions about your nutrition plan or when you would like to speak with a weight loss specialist.
