** New 3 Month Individual Weight Loss Program Available Now**

Have you been trying to lose weight by yourself but not getting far?

Do you feel you know what to eat but have trouble putting it into practice?

Are you tired of fad diets and depriving yourself of delicious food and social eating?

Do you want results from a professional team that uses evidence based treatment methods for weight loss?

We can help you.

When you come to us for a weight loss program, you will get goals and an eating a program specifically designed just for you, no matter how little or how much you have to lose. We offer weight loss program appointments on weekdays and Saturdays, just 10 minutes from Melbourne CBD and you can claim private health fund rebates if you have cover. We commonly see men and women for weight loss for a variety of reasons:

weight loss to feel more vital, and generally feel better about yourself and how you look
weight loss to prevent or delay developing diabetes, heart disease or other chronic conditions
weight loss to manage the symptoms of PCOS (Claire has PCOS herself)
weight loss to assist with conceiving a baby and have a healthier pregnancy
getting back to your pre-pregnancy weight

We will design an individual eating plan for you with recommended kilojoule levels and food portion sizes based on readily available everyday food your whole family can enjoy. If you and your partner or other members of your family are interested in losing weight, we can offer a couples or family appointment at cheaper than the cost of two consultations. Your eating plan will also include education about how to choose the right foods and recipes including options for eating out and snacks, so no need to lock yourself away at home while losing weight. It's all about learning how to eat appropriately for YOUR unique lifestyle,family, social and health needs. Our aim is for you to develop life long healthy eating habits to maintain a healthy weight.

Even losing as little as 5-10% of your current weight can significantly improve your health.

We offer two approaches to individual weight loss:

Option 1: Our 3 Month Weight Loss Program Package (for Individuals of Couples)

Research shows that one of the predictors of success at weight loss is having the long term support of trained health professionals. Our 3 month program is based on the sound science - strategies which have been proven by research to be successful in helping people to lose weight. We also incorporates education, support and behaviour change strategies to help you make long term sustainable changes.

If you are very serious about losing weight, this program offers a discount on review consultations to enable you to have ongoing support with the flexibility of day, early evening and Saturday appointments. Our clients tell us they like the increased accountability, individual attention, realistic family food and practical lifestyle suggestions offered by this program, as well as having an opportunity to develop a longer term relationship with their Dietitian. You can still claim health fund rebates if you are eligible too!

How does the program work?

This program is offered entirely in individual consultations but because it is purchased as a package you get a discount. If you have private health cover, you can still claim from your private health fund (individual receipts are given after each consultation has been completed) and this significantly reduces the cost of the program. Here's what you get:

An initial assessment where we work with you to refine your personal weight loss goals and develop an action plan which fits your unique lifestyle, work and family environment. Your initial assessment also includes:

Calculation of your personal energy requirements, and education about portion sizes and the right mix of foods for your weight loss goals

A personal flexible eating plan showing how to spread your portions out throughout the day and how to interchange foods to give you variety.

6 review consultations over 3 months (at a 20% reduced price to our standard fees) to offer ongoing education and support. During these review consultations, we include things we think best fits your nutrition and weight loss goals. These could include:

A range of behaviour change strategies which is important for those people who know what to eat but have trouble putting it into practice.

Strategies to help with 'non hungry' or emotional eating. We also have Psychologists we work closely with if you would like extra support in this area.

Support to establish an exercise program (we can work together with a Personal Trainer or Exercise Physiologist if you would like that support).

Education and advice about adapting your eating plan while eating out, how to choose foods in the supermarket, new recipes and ways to prepare foods.

Email contact with your Dietitian over the course of the program.

Reports to your GP or other health professional if requested.
