Description
The Complete Assessment Package is an all-inclusive package for clients who want to eat healthier, lose weight and lower their insulin resistance.
The Package includes a one-hour initial appointment to establish dietary goals, collect personal and family medical history, review recent lab tests and other tests (if applicable) and to conduct a complete food habit and lifestyle review.
Based on all the information collected, a Risk Assessment will be done and an Individual Meal Plan (one-hour of service) will be designed for you, factoring in any health and weight management goals.
Then we’ll meet again for an hour for the Nutrition Education Session for me to review of your Risk Assessment and make some recommendations then the remainder of the appointment will be for me to go over your Individual Meal Plan with you, teaching of simple yet accurate ways to estimate portion sizes. I will answer any questions you have and provide you with a printed booklet which will summarize what I taught, as well as serve as a resource for looking up how to substitute other foods not on your Meal Plan.
This package serves as a basis for the Dietary Management Package which can be taken should you want some longer term follow up or coaching, as you implement your lifestyle changes.
The Complete Assessment Package can be taken in-person or via Skype and can be paid by secure server right on the web site via credit card. If you would like to take advantage of the flexible payment options outlined on the Intake and Service Option form details are available in the Shop.
Meal Plan versus Menu
I don’t tell people what kind of food to eat on which day; this is a menu. I work out how much of each of the key macro- and micro-nutrients individuals need based on their age and stage of life and any health conditions and medications they may be taking and then determine how much protein, non-starchy vegetables, fruit, dairy, nuts, fat, etc. they could have at each meal to meet their requirements. This is a Meal Plan.
I base the distribution across the meals of the day on how you are currently eating and what you like to eat, but nothing is carved in stone! For example, if I recommend eggs or cheese for breakfast and you’d rather have a smoothy sometimes, I can certainly make those changes.
The Meal Plans I design indicate how much of each TYPE of food to eat but you get to decide if that will be chicken, fish or beef, or broccoli or asparagus.
I’ll teach you all about the types of foods that make up each category of food (for example ‘non-starchy vegetables’) and your Meal Plan will outline how much to eat at each meal.
If you’re cooking for more than just you, you can still make ONE meal for everyone and you’ll know how much to serve by the Meal Plan.
As for eating well and feeling full and avoiding cravings for sugar or carbs, this is built into the way I design Meal Plans and this is a big part of why people come to me.
