We utilize various low-calorie and/or low-carbohydrate meal plans for weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds per week.

Healthy Eating Plan

A healthy eating plan gives your body the nutrients it needs every day while staying within your daily calorie goal for weight loss. MyPlate is a healthy eating style that you build throughout your lifetime. Everything you eat and drink matters.  Focus on variety, amount, and nutrition. Choose foods and beverages with less saturated fat, sodium and added sugars. Start with small changes to build healthier eating styles. Support healthy eating for everyone. This plan emphasizes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat dairy products. It includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts. It limits saturated and trans fats, sodium, and added sugars. It emphasizes portion-controlled meals

Atkins Meal Plan

The Atkins Diet restricts carbs (carbohydrates) while emphasizing protein and fats. The Atkins Diet has several phases for weight loss and maintenance, starting out with a very low carbohydrate eating plan. The main dietary focus of the Atkins Diet is eating the right balance of carbohydrates, protein and fats for optimal weight loss and health.

D.A.S.H. Dietary Plan

The DASH diet is a lifelong approach to healthy eating that's designed to help treat or prevent high blood pressure (hypertension). The DASH diet emphasizes vegetables, fruit and low-fat dairy foods — and moderate amounts of whole grains, fish, poultry and nuts. You can eat red meat, sweets and fats in small amounts. The DASH diet is low in saturated fat, cholesterol and total fat.

21-Day Challenge (Portion Control) Plan

This meal plan allows you to eat the foods you currently have, but in controlled portions. Based on your caloric deficit required for weight loss, the provider will determine which set of portion-controlled containers are best for you.

Mediterranean Dietary Plan

The Mediterranean dietary plan emphasizes eating foods like fish, fruits, vegetables, beans, high-fiber breads and whole grains, nuts, and olive oil. Meat, cheese, and sweets are very limited. The recommended foods are rich with monounsaturated fats, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids.The Mediterranean diet recommends eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, and high-fiber grains. The fats allowed in the Mediterranean diet are mainly from unsaturated oils such as fish oils, olive oil, and certain nut or seed oils (such as canola, soybean, or flaxseed oil) and from nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts, and almonds). These types of oils may have a protective effect on the heart.

Vegetarian Meal Plan

A vegetarian meal plan is an excellent way to achieve good health. The vegetarian eating pattern is based on a wide variety of foods that are satisfying, delicious, and healthful. Vegetarians avoid meat, fish, and poultry. Those who include dairy products and eggs in their diets are called lacto-ovo vegetarians. Vegans (pure vegetarians) eat no meat, fish, poultry, eggs, or dairy products. While there is a considerable advantage to a lacto-ovo vegetarian pattern, vegan diets are the healthiest of all, reducing risk of a broad range of health concerns.
