Individualized Nutrition Plan

Since weight loss is not one-size-fits-all, we offer several treatment modalities and St. Rita’s Weight Management Center.

What is an Individualized Nutrition Plan?

 In our Medical Weight Management Program you will work with the Registered Dietitian at the Weight Management Center for individual nutrition counseling. The dietitian will focus on developing strategies that will enhance opportunities for you to control your own behaviors related to weight loss. The dietitian seeks to learn about your current and desired state of health, and follows you on a regular basis with the physician or physician assistant. After learning about your health history, favorite foods, eating and exercise habits, the dietitian will assist in setting goals that are personalized for you.

If you have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes, it can be challenging to know what and how to eat. The physician, physician assistant, and the dietitian will help you better understand your condition and assist to create an eating plan that works for you to improve your overall health. We guide you to make simple changes to your daily choices, in an effort to lose the weight and keep it off. A healthy weight is about balancing food intake with physical activity. Small steps add up. With medical weight loss, slow, steady weight loss is encouraged to build healthy behaviors and prevent loss of muscle mass. 

If you want to reach and maintain a healthy weight, the best path is a lifelong combination of eating smarter and moving more. For a personalized plan tailored to your lifestyle and food preferences, then consulting a Registered Dietitian with expertise in weight management is the option for you here at our center.

This treatment is combined with activity in our fitness center. All of our patients are introduced to fitness and encouraged to participate in physical activity.
