COMMP-Nutrition and Intensive Lifestyle Intervention
COMMP-Nutrition and Intensive Lifestyle Intervention
Our Nutrition Approach
At COMMP, our nutrition approach is based on sound, evidenced-based science and individualized, long-term solutions. Rather than prescribing one-size-fits-all diet plans, our nutrition experts will provide you individualized guidance, macronutrient goals, and education to help you feel confident in making your own food choices for successful and sustainable weight loss.
While every patient’s plan is individualized, our obesity medicine specialists typically start with one of three fundamental pathways:
- Jumpstart: All protein meal replacements with one whole food meal per day 1
- Combination of protein meal replacements and whole food
- All whole food
At each Intensive Lifestyle Intervention (ILI) visit, your registered dietitian will work with you to sustain the behavioral changes that you’re making, and will individualize nutrition and lifestyle goals by taking into consideration your medical history, lab biomarkers, food preferences, budget, dietary intolerances, and time constraints.
In addition to one-on-one visits with our nutrition experts, you will have opportunities for hands-on learning experiences like grocery store tours. We can help you learn how to navigate the grocery store, choose between products, save money, and gain meal ideas.
Additional Resources Offered
- Grocery store tours
- Protein meal replacements 1
- Recipes
- Special Topics in nutrition classes in a group setting (Healthy Holiday Habits, Fad Diets, Intuitive Eating, Stress & Sleep, and more)
Behavioral Changes
Your ILI visits with our registered dietitians will dig deeper into your behavioral changes to help you achieve more than just your weight goals.
