Our Low Carb Plans
If a low carb plan is right for you, we can support you with a healthy plan
that emphasizes lean meats, fish and poultry, low-fat and nonfat dairy, and lots of
vegetables. After a few weeks, fruits, whole grains, and more flexibility are incorporated
in the program. (The low carb really refers to low "empty" carbs, that aren't
rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and the other nutrients that make us healthier.)

We can help you change your way of eating and really live with
this healthy plan.
Clients say that they are thrilled with finally seeing
results when they hadn't been able to lose weight for years, they find it easy
to do, they can eat normal foods even when eating in restaurants, and they find
it motivating to see early weight loss. This is a program that sets you on a
healthy path that you can sustain for the long run. It does not lead to rapid
regain, as is typical with "Atkins-type" plans. Even if people get off track,
they find that their weight stays relatively stable, and they do not regain.
Weight loss is most dramatic around the waistline, so people notice that their
clothes fit better, or that they can wear clothes that were too tight around the
waist. All of these changes motivate you to want to stick with your healthy
eating plan.
How our plan differs from other low carb plans
Many people who find early success on a high fat, low carb plan, will regain
weight quickly after they stop their diet. Research suggests that high saturated
fat diets tend to make people more sensitive to carbs. Our plan emphasizes lean
meats, low-fat or nonfat dairy, and healthy fats, such as that found in olives,
avocados, nuts, and fatty fish. This promotes weight loss, without increasing
your sensitivity to weight gain from carbs. This results in a much more flexible
low carb plan, with a variety of fruits, vegetables, and (mostly) whole grains.
And you learn healthy eating that you can sustain for the long run. High-fat
low-carb
plans establish a way of eating that promotes weight regain. Our plan
helps you sustain the weight loss, by developing healthy habits while you are
losing weight.
Research- and experience-based
Current research shows that low carb plans help you lose more weight, while
preserving muscle. This is important since having more muscle helps keep your
metabolism higher so you burn more calories.
A healthy low carb plan can help you with early success that will inspire you
to continue eating in a healthy way. The program will help lower your appetite,
and teach you to focus on the healthy foods that lower your risk of heart
disease and some types of cancer. You will feel satisfied at the end of meals,
but not overly stuffed. You will have healthy snacks that keep you from getting
hungry between meals. This is a plan you can really live with.
After menopause
One of the very motivating benefits for perimenopausal women is the
significant reduction in waist size. You will find that your clothing size will
change dramatically. You will be able to wear younger styles that are more
body-conscious, rather than needing waist-hiding larger tops.
