Frequently Asked Questions

Our program is a medically developed partial meal replacement weight loss program that targets fat loss while maintaining muscle mass.

We do not offer virtual coaching or online sales. All coaching services are in person.

Once you complete your Initial Consultation, you will attend a one-on-one private weekly coaching session. Weekly appointments are 15 minutes long and consist of weight and measurement checks, journal review, as well as motivation and education to help you stay on track and get to your goal weight. Once you get to your healthy goal weight, we then teach you how to maintain your new weight for FREE forever!

Yes. We see clients by appointment only. We do not offer virtual coaching or online sales. All coaching services are in person.

Please call 320-1515 to schedule your appointment today.

Our protocol was designed by medical doctors to be safe and effective when overseen by our trained weight loss coaches.

The only time a doctor must oversee a weight loss program directly is if the protocol involves prescription weight loss medications or a very low- calorie diet. We use neither of these.

During your Initial Consultation you will be asked health questions to determine if you are healthy enough for our program. Should we, at any time, feel the need to have a doctor involved, we will ask that you see your primary care physician and we will coordinate your weight loss program with them to ensure your best possible results.

We are also part of a professional group that has some of the top weight loss experts and bariatric doctors available to provide advice and expertise when needed.

There is a one-time Initial Consultation fee of $399 for the first appointment which includes:
 

• Review of medical history
• Medication review
• Initial weight and measurements
• Body fat composition
• Before photos
• Explanation of diet protocol
• 3 boxes of food
• Required vitamins

This is by appointment only and takes 1.5 hours. Please call 320-1515 to schedule.

Then it is $95 per week which includes:
 

• Weekly 15 minute one-on-one accountability coaching, weigh in, body measurements, and body fat assessment
• 3 boxes of food
• All required vitamins

The only thing you have to purchase from the grocery store is 4 cups of vegetables and up to 8oz. of lean protein per day.

*Most people say their food bill is exactly the same if not less than before starting the program because they are redirecting average food expenses to different, healthier options which often results as neutral in cost. (i.e. $0.00 added expense for food)

You can't afford not to do this! What is the worth of your health and well being?

Call us and schedule your Initial Consultation appointment today. This appointment is 1.5 hours long. At this appointment we will review your Health Profile which includes your past medical and surgical history, current medications, review your current diet, review our diet program in detail with you, get your initial weight, measurements, and body fat percentage. We will then take your before picture, help you pick out food, and answer any and all of your questions. We are also available by phone or e-mail throughout your entire weight loss journey.

You choose the ideal weight you want to be. We can help you if you are unsure.

We have two weight loss plans to choose from!

One is a ketogenic diet and the other is a low fat, low carb, low calorie plan. We let the client choose which program they feel would work best for them. Both plans offer repeatable, predictable weight loss every week, although the ketogenic diet offers a quicker weight loss.

Ketosis is a normal metabolic process which refers to the state of metabolism the body is in when it uses fat as a primary energy source. In fact, we are all in 'ketosis" each night when we sleep. As we fast during the night, our blood sugars drop and our body begins breaking down fat to use as energy.

Both diets are medically developed and are consistent with evidence-based guidelines to help obese and overweight people achieve safe, long-term weight loss.

Yes. Children 17 and younger can do our Alternative Protocol only with prior approval from their pediatrician.

Our program features one-on-one private weekly coaching and education from a trained weight loss coach to ensure dieters are qualified to follow the program. All dieters will be required to complete a comprehensive Health Profile during their Initial Consultation as well certain medical conditions require prior consent from the client's primary care physician and/or specialist.

Many clients benefit after just one week and claim they feel better, they sleep better, have more energy, reduced acid reflux or GERD, better digestion and decreased bloat feeling, joint and back pain decreases, and the list goes on. Many of our clients go on to have medications such as for Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. reduced or discontinued. Many go off sleep apnea machines.

Although everyone has different medical needs, conditions, and medications, and as with any weight loss plan, we highly recommend you consult with your physician prior to starting any weight loss plan and check in with them regularly throughout your weight loss journey.

You will take Multi-vitamins, Essential Minerals, and Essential Fatty Acids. These vitamins are required as part of our program and have been formulated specifically to ensure you receive the minimum daily-recommended amounts of essential nutrients so you are at optimal health. They are titrated specifically for this protocol. Substitutions are not allowed as the quality of over-the-counter vitamins are unknown.

The weight loss portion would be considered a medium to low calorie diet. The Alternative Protocol, which incorporates additional foods, would be considered a medium calorie diet.

Our protocol addresses weight issues at its source reducing carbohydrates and fats while ensuring adequate daily protein intake. The goal is to lose fat, not muscle. Once you reach your goal weight, we provide you with healthier lifestyle education so that you are empowered to sustain your weight loss results. We continue coaching you for free forever!

Adults should move more and sit less throughout the day. Some physical activity is better than none. Adults who sit less and do any amount of physical activity gain some health benefits..

The CDC recommends at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity and at least 2 days per week of muscle-strengthening activity for healthy adults although exercise is not a requirement for our program.

We know 150 minutes each week sounds like a lot of time, but it's not. That could be 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. The good news is that you can spread your activity out during the week, so you don't have to do it all at once. You can even break it up into smaller chunks of time during the day. Learn to find a balance that works for you.

Moderate-intensity exercise includes activities such as walking, biking, yoga, Pilates, light cardio, or any activity that gets your heart beating faster.

Muscle-strengthening activities include any activity that make your muscles work harder than usual and can include: Pilates, yoga, core exercise, resistance type exercise, light weights for toning, etc.

Vegetarians can follow our program and can consume eggs, fish, and other vegetarian options during their evening meal for their whole protein. As an alternative, vegetarians can have 2 of our protein products for dinner in place of their whole protein.

Strict vegans who do not consume any animal proteins and animal by-products, such as dairy products, honey and so on, do not qualify due to dietary restrictions.

Our ketogenic diet includes 4 cups of vegetables, 8oz. of lean protein, and 3-6 of our protein products per day.

Our Alternative diet includes all of the above plus one serving of fresh fruit, one serving of healthy fats, and one serving of healthy carbs.

No. We are also a protein store open to the public. Please stop in anytime we are open if you want to just purchase our products. No appointment needed to purchase products.

Every part of our body needs protein as they are the structural components of body tissues such as nails, hair, skin, your immune system, and muscles. Consuming adequate amount daily protein will help to ensure maintaining proper health and vitality.

These are high biological value proteins and employ six different proteins, varying from products to products: whey isolates, soy isolates, milk protein, pea protein, albumin, and hydrolyzed collagen. This gives many options and is designed for people with sensitivities to dairy, soy or vegetarians, allowing them to participate.

We have many recipes to help you prepare healthy compliant meals. We offer a Recipe of the Week as well all our recipes are on this website and are updated constantly.

Dairy in all forms is not permitted due to the carb and fat content which prohibits weight loss. Once you reach your goal weight, dairy is re-introduced to your diet.

Yes, coffee and tea are allowed

Diet sodas are higher in phosphoric acids and aspartame. We recommend selecting sparkling water instead, to which you may add water enhancer flavorings.

Drink a minimum 64 (2 L) of water every day. Water is especially important during weight loss because water is part of the fat burning process as well a hydrated body is a healthy body. Remember to drink additional water if you have coffee or a caffeinated beverage.

No. Alcohol is not permitted. Consuming alcohol during our program can dramatically inhibit the liver's ability to make glucose (sugar), potentially causing severe hypoglycemia resulting in "passing out". Alcohol is a toxic substance. Your liver immediately focuses on removing it from your body and puts other things on hold - such as creating the glucose your brain and other organs need. Consuming alcohol in any form, even cough & cold medicines, is strictly prohibited as it could be potentially very dangerous.

As simple as it may sound, keeping track of what you eat is critical to your success. Consider this: Studies show that keeping a food journal can double a person's weight loss according to a study from Kaiser Permanente's Center for Health Research. Most of us don't fully realize what we eat during the day. The simple act of writing everything down brings it to your attention. You have many ways to keep a food journal while on the program. We offer a free paper journal or you can use the app My Fitness Pal.

You can have some flexibility in your meal schedule. The key is to make sure you are eating the required amount of vegetables, whole protein, protein products, mandatory supplements, water, and oil throughout the day, every day for best results.

Deviating or cheating will only inhibit your results.

Yes, the program is designed to do the phases in sequence. Phase 1 is to be followed until your weight goal is achieved. Phase 2 is to be followed for two weeks, to slowly re-introduce more whole protein to your diet. Phase 3 is to be followed for two weeks, to re-introduce healthy carbohydrates and fats to your diet. Phase 4 is a 12-month stabilization period, with ongoing support to help you maintain your weight loss success. To effectively maintain you weight, you are encouraged to follow all the phases.
