Medical Nutrition Therapy for Weight Loss
About
Medical nutrition therapy is a program that allows patients to receive evaluation, a customized diet plan, and ongoing monitoring for weight loss.
Who It’s For
Medical nutrition therapy is for people who are overweight, and those with certain health conditions. It is also fitting for individuals who have had certain weight loss procedures, such as ESG, and need guidance and ongoing monitoring to keep off the weight and maintain a healthy living style.
How The Program Works
The initial step for medical nutrition therapy is a comprehensive evaluation by our bariatric physician and registered dietician. Patients receive a customized diet plan and are also prescribed pharmacotherapy by True You’s bariatric physician. Follow-up visits are recommended at two-week intervals.
How Much Weight You’ll Lose
As part of medical nutrition therapy, True You’s physician and dietitian help patients set nutrition goals. Many patients lose around 1 to 1.5 pounds a week, depending on adherence to the diet and pharmacotherapy plans. The bi-weekly follow-up, and consistent reviews of your eating and exercising habits, all assist in tracking progress, with adjustments to the plans being made as necessary. The goal is to help patients make positive, long-term lifestyle changes for sustainable weight loss.
