Three Phases to the New Direction® Diet Plan
|
I. Reducing Phase –During this time of rapid weight loss, Nutrimed Plus™ will be your only food. Nutrimed Plus products are nutritionally complete; however, they supply fewer calories than what your body needs to function. Other needed calories come from your body’s fat storage. |
|
II. Adapting Phase –During this phase, you will gradually decrease the use of Nutrimed Plus and begin to add more food into your daily diet. The calories you consume will be adjusted so that you stop losing weight, but continue to manage your weight. |
|
III. Sustaining Phase – This phase you will be eating regular foods and practicing your new lifestyle and weight management skills under the guidance of the New Direction® staff. You will continue to work with a dietitian counselor to adjust your calories and meal plans, so you can maintain your new body weight and meet your nutritional needs. During this phase it is important to continue attending your classes. |
The Importance of Sustaining Phase
|
Typically occurs when you have reached your goal weight, or a BMI of 29 or less. |
|
This is the most important phase. |
|
Maintenance is the key to long-term success and good health. |
|
Time to reap the rewards of your efforts and enjoy a healthy lifestyle. |
Like other chronic diseases, obesity requires responsible, comprehensive treatment, including continuing care. And, that’s just what New Direction delivers to you.
