My Fit 3  Food-based Guidance Plan

Lose an average of 1-2 pounds per week

Moderate calorie, food-based guidance by Dietitian without the use of meal replacements

Should you choose this plan, we will test your metabolic rate to determine the appropriate amount of calories to help you lose weight.  The plan focuses on providing you with satisfying amounts of nutrient dense foods while you eat fewer calories.  Along with the help of the dietitian, you will individually adjust your meal plan.  All meal plans emphasize a diet low in fat and high in fiber.  For convenience, you may choose to eat frozen meals rather than spend the time and energy preparing nutritious, low-calorie foods.
