Program Philosophy The Healthy ‘n Fit Weight Management Program is a 12 week one-on-one nutrition counseling program designed to be administered by Registered Dietitians and/or medical professionals with an expertise in pediatric nutrition. The one-on-one format of the Healthy ‘n Fit Weight Management Program allows tailored nutrition plans to be created for each child based on their nutritional needs and weight loss or maintenance goals. The program philosophy is based upon the proven success of customized nutrition plans for weight management. Many programs use generic meal plans and calorie levels for program participants, which tend to be unsuccessful since these plans are not tailored to the participants’ actual needs and lifestyles. The Healthy ‘n Fit Weight Management Program shows you how to determine your client’s nutritional needs in a step-by-step, easy to follow format for maximum success. The Healthy ‘n Fit Weight Management Program is a highly structured, weekly program that involves both the overweight child and his or her family. The weekly format allows the dietitian or health care provider to identify nutrition and fitness trouble areas for the child and/or family immediately and make the appropriate changes so that weight management success is maximized to the fullest potential. This program addresses all of the major nutrition causes of childhood obesity to provide the most well rounded nutrition counseling program available. The week to week goal setting and achievement tracking format of the Healthy ‘n Fit Weight Management Program uses positive reinforcement to promote healthy eating and exercise habits throughout the program and throughout the child’s life.
