Frequently Asked Questions

Our programs are unique so we understand you may have some questions on how it all works. Take our detailed tour here to see exactly how the system works. If you still have questions check out the Q & A below.

How does the price compare to in person visits and other programs?

How do I interact with the dietitian in the Balance Program?

We interact with our clients weekly in the Balance Program with our e-coaching sessions. Our clients fill in their questions/wins/challenges in a report that is available at the beginning of each weekly session. The client's dietitian will respond to that report within 72 hours. As our client, you have your own personal welcome page with a mailbox to receive your correspondence from your dietitian. This is one on one interaction and not a chat room with other people. You get personalized guidance to address your needs to get results. See picture below for a sample home page.

What do I receive in my initial assessment?

We gather information from you regarding your diet and lifestyle habits. Your dietitian then provides you information on the areas that are keeping you stuck in weight gain patterns. These areas lead to excess calories, slowed metabolism, or cause you to utilize your calories less efficiently. Many of these ideas may be things you already know and many are so subtle you may not have any idea they are affecting your weight. You also receive an action plan that gives you specific recommendations and a diet makeover to show you how to implement those changes. This is a 3-5 page report that is loaded in information! You can choose to just get the assessment portion of the program, called the Mini Diet Makeover.

Do you provide me with weekly menus?

No, we are not a menu planning service. As great as they sound, we know that people fall off of menus just like they do with other diets because they aren't always realistic to follow in real life. Instead we provide simple steps to meal planning so you can master it on your own no matter what situation you are in. These steps and are not difficult to learn and you can use them anytime, anywhere and the best part is you will be able to control your calorie level without having to count calories all day. We do provide one week of menus as a learning tool and lots of recipes and meal ideas. If you would like a resource that provides menus we recommend www.sparkpeople.com which is a free service.

How is this program different than other programs?

We offer a unique online experience unlike others. We are not a canned menu or calorie counting program. We offer an experiential program where you can get professional advice and receive weekly coaching with your dietitian like you would with office visits. We help you get unstuck from weight gain patterns so you can lose weight and keep it off. You also have a lifetime membership where you can always utilize our tools and review any of your sessions. Our clients consistently report their favorite part of this process is the one on one guidance with their dietitian and the relationship that is built that really makes the difference. This provides you the opportunity to work through the challenges that are unique to you.

Is there a monthly fee?

No. There is a one time fee for both the Mini Diet Makeover Assessment and the Balance Program. We are not a subscription program. Once you have completed your 9 e-coaching sessions you can purchase more sessions at a discounted price whenever you need to check in with your dietitian.

Are there phone sessions?

No. Our programs are all online with e-coaching sessions to curb the cost of getting expert advice with a dietitian. Seeing a dietitian in person or by phone costs an average of $100/hour. We offer a more affordable alternative to these types of services.

Will I get the same dietitian each week?

Yes! This is very important because you will build a relationship with your dietitian which will help you to reach your goals. Your dietitian is committed to your success!

What if I can't do the Weeks Consecutively?

That's ok! We realize that life happens, vacations, work trips, etc. Although there are 8 chapters in your online workbook and 9 e-coaching sessions, you can go at your own pace. If you want to just linger on a particular week for awhile that's fine with us!

How do you pay for these programs?

We use paypal as a secure payment process. After you register for one of our programs it will direct you to the paypal payment page. If you do not want to use paypal other arrangements can be made. Just email us at: info@reallivingnutrition.com or call
