Excess weight and obesity are lifestyle diseases. Correspondingly, the treatment of weight problems requires a thorough analysis of your lifestyle, and a well-thought-out approach for modifying that lifestyle in ways that you can accept and achieve in order to achieve enhanced weight management. We start with analyzing what you currently eat to identify where your calories are coming from, and how you use up those calories. From this analysis, we determine which foods can best be reduced or eliminated, and what foods can replace them. We also look at what lifestyle changes you can readily implement to increase calorie use.

Our approach at Lifestyle Nutrition Management is that weight management involves the whole person. It's not just how much you eat, but it's your whole lifestyle that is affecting your weight. Weight loss programs should not depend on starvation diets to achieve their aims. While the consumption of calories does have to be reduced, total food intake does not necessarily have to go down. It is routinely possible to replace high-calorie foods with satisfying low-calorie, nutrient-dense foods; and to increase calorie expenditures such that only moderate calorie reductions are required to achieve weight loss and to increase your overall health.
