Computerized Diet Analysis

in Working one-on-one with Leslie Beck, RD.

Ever wonder if your diet is providing all the vitamins and minerals your body needs for good health? If you're eating too many calories and too much fat? Or perhaps you're concerned that your diet lacks enough protein and carbohydrate to fuel your exercise training sessions.

Leslie's Computerized Diet Analysis program allows you to find out if you're meeting your daily recommended nutrient intakes.  Here's how this nutrition program works:

Your first consultation with Leslie: During this initial 30-minute meeting, Leslie will conduct a detailed diet history in order to learn your eating schedule, portion sizes and food preferences. She'll also ask about your risk factors for disease, lifestyle habits, medications, and nutrition supplement use. 

Based on this information, Leslie then prepares your computerized diet analysis reports.

Your second 30-minute consultation: This visit is scheduled for one week after your first appointment with Leslie.  During this meeting Leslie will review your Computerized Diet Analysis reports with you, including:

• Your Daily Nutrient Intake Report outlines what nutrients, and how much of each, you are consuming each day.  Calories, protein, carbohydrate, fat, saturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, monounsaturated fat, dietary fibre and all vitamins and minerals are analyzed.

• Your Daily Nutrient Intake vs. Daily Recommended Intake Report tells you whether or not you're meeting your recommended nutrient intakes for calories, protein, carbohydrate, fat, fibre and all vitamins and minerals. Your daily nutrient intake will be compared to recommendations for weight maintenance, weight loss or weight gain, depending on your specific goals.

Based on your results, Leslie will give you dietary strategies to improve your nutritional intake to help you reach your daily targets.

Two 15-minute follow up visits:  These follow-up visits provide support, accountability and allow for ongoing nutrition education. Depending on your goals - and the dietary modifications that are recommended - follow-up visits may be scheduled weekly, bi weekly or monthly. 

What you'll also receive:  Working with Leslie means you'll continue to get support and education outside of your office visits.  Here's a list of other services available to Leslie's clients:

• Access to Leslie and her team of nutritionists Monday through Friday.  If you have a question about your meal plan, a food product or even a restaurant menu, you don't have to wait until your next appointment.  Leslie and her staff are available to answer your questions by phone or email.
• lesliebeck.com's online tracking tools. If you prefer to keep track of your progress online rather than on paper, you'll receive a special client log-in number that gives you access to Leslie's online Daily Food & Activity Tracker and Body Measurement Tracker.
• Leslie's Monthly Nutrition eNewsletter. Each month you'll receive plenty of nutrition information - food product ratings, nutrition and health advice, recipes and more.
• Blood testing to monitor your progress. If you need your iron, vitamin B12, folate, vitamin D, cholesterol, or blood sugar measured, testing will be overseen by physicians at the Medcan Clinic, the medical clinic where Leslie's private practice is located.
• Referrals to top health professionals working in the medicine, psychology, physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage therapy, and fitness.

Additional follow-up visits are sold in packages of four for $225
