Real Living Nutrition Services offers online weight management programs that allow a Registered Dietitian to see their clients in a secure online environment. The programs include an assessment, 8 learning sessions on various topics such as meal planning, portion sizes, emotional eating, metabolism, etc; 9 e-coaching sessions so you can interact with your clients weekly; and free tools for your clients to use.

 

Coming from a private practice background, I know the importance of having a lower cost service to offer to your clients especially for weight loss which insurance rarely reimburses. Our programs allow a dietitian to have another way to reach out to clients at an affordable rate and provides convenience since clients don't have to make time for appointments.

 

This is not software; it is an interactive website.
