Quick Start Plan
Our Quick Start Plan combines the simplicity of a pre-packaged food program with the flexibility of a traditional diet program. If you find that counting calories is too
much trouble and that you struggle with portion control, but still want to eat table foods at least one meal per day, our Quick Start Plan is the program for you. Its
snacking style diets break your total daily calories into 5 or 6 snack-sized meals. These meals are spaced evenly throughout your day. The advantage of this approach is
that appetite is easier to control and bloodsugar remains stable. By utilizing portion-size packaged nutritional foods, snacking diets achieve a lower average calorie count,
and significantly reduce meal planning and preparation time. Because of this, patients on the Quick Start Plan tend to lose weight faster than those on the Traditional Plan.
With Quick Start, our basic Snacking Program, you:
-
Eat a balance of high protein supplements and low-calorie table food
-
Save time on food preparation, shopping and meal planning
-
Will utilize pre-packaged supplements, which are high in protein and preserve existing muscle mass
-
Can choose from a wide variety of flavors of protein supplements, from oatmeal to soup
-
Will have a brisk initial weight loss, usually 10% of starting weight within 8-10 weeks
Patients choosing this approach want to see rapid weight loss, and are willing to substantially change their diet to achieve it, but want to retain some regular table food
in their initial diet.
