NUTRITION AND WEIGHT LOSS IN MIDTOWN MANHATTAN
WE HAVE THE BEST NUTRITIONAL PROGRAM IN MANHATTAN.
For us, that means developing a custom nutrition program designed to address any chronic illness or disease you may have, including diabetes, arthritis, obesity and heart disease (to name a few.) Not everyone has the same needs; so we assess your individual health history to tailor your own nutritional lifestyle.
This program is not a “diet”; those are only temporary and usually very difficult to maintain. We establish a plan that fits into your everyday life and will keep you at optimal weight, boost your energy levels and increase your immune function. Within this plan, we teach you how to make better food choices and help you to understand how certain foods may impact your health now and in the future.
During your nutritional consult we will review your weight loss and nutritional goals and shift you from a diet mindset to a lifestyle mindset. A review of blood work can also be performed, as well as a review of all medications and supplements you’re currently taking. You will leave with a clear cut plan and accessible goals.
We’re proud partners with Take Shape For Life: a unique program designed to help you along the journey toward optimal health.
Lose weight safely and quickly with the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan®, featuring medically formulated, nutritious, and delicious meal replacements by Medifast.
You’ll consume five Medifast Meals each day, one every 2-3 hours. Because you eat frequently, you’re never hungry, and your metabolism stays revved. Many Medifast Meals are portable, so you can fit this diet into even the busiest lifestyle.
You also get to have one Lean & Green Meal™ to eat at the time that works best for you. For the Lean, you’ll have 5-7 ounces of lean protein; the Green is three servings of low-glycemic vegetables. Depending on your source of protein, you’ll get some healthy fat, too, and that will help keep you full and satisfied.
Our Transition plan is designed to gradually increase your calorie intake over time while re-introducing a wider variety of foods. How long you spend in this phase is determined by how many pounds you have lost.
Ultimately, you’ll increase your servings of lean proteins, whole grains, low-fat dairy, fruits, and vegetables, until you reach a daily caloric intake of 1,550, adjusted for your own height, weight, age, sex, and activity level.
We take the guesswork out of the Transition Plan by providing you with a sample transition chart and sample meal plans.
