How it works… Step One You begin by filling out a questionnaire about your diet and lifestyle and fill in a meal diary. Home Page You have your own customized home page that includes your navigation through the program, your in-box from your dietitian, an interactive goals tracker, results from your assessment, motivational tip of the week, and your vision that you create during week one. Mini Diet Makeover Assessment Step 2 Our dietitians work with you to identify the areas that are out of balance. Your dietitian provides a diet makeover, and an action plan. Below is an example of a partial assessment. Online Workbook Step Three You receive our online workbook broken into 8 sessions where you can go at their own pace: Workbook includes: • meal planning, • healthy food choices, • metabolism, • food cravings, • exercise, • grocery shopping, • stress eating, and more! E-Coaching Sessions Step Four The most unique and best part of our program is you get to meet with your dietitian with 8 e-coaching sessions in a private, supportive environment to discuss your wins and challenges. This provides regular coaching to work together on strategies so you can meet your goals. Below is a partial example. E-Coaching Sessions Along with your progress report you also have the option (this part is optional but highly recommended) to submit food records for review during your e-coaching sessions.

Testimonials Here are a few testimonials from our past clientsI had been a yo yo dieter for more than 30 years and had just about given up hope of losing the excess pounds until I stumbled upon Real Living Nutrition and Roseanne Rust in April, 2007. I started with the Mini Diet Makeover and was so impressed with the indepth and helpful analysis that I signed up for the Balance Program. Over the course of a year, I lost 40 pounds and to date, have been successful in maintaining my pre yo yo diet weight of 115 pounds. I have lost weight in the past, but would gain it back after hitting a plateau and becoming discouraged. Roseanne skillfully guided me through the plateaus and helped keep me moving in the right direction. The Balance program is a way of life, not a "diet" and I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about improving their quality of life. Karen K. - Meadville, PA Wow- I've learned a lot. Great program. I loved the sessions with the dietitian, looked forward to her feedback. I think its great that you can use the tools and read your feedback later on as a refresher. Good value for the money. Because I realize that a lifestyle change is an on going process, I'm going to continue with more sessions. I know I'll need to talk to the dietitian around the holidays. C.F. Testimonials Before starting the Balance Program I was unmotivated. I lacked the energy to take care of my body. Lisa (Nelson) helped me regain my focus by giving me the tools necessary to make life changes with my diet and exercise program. Healthy living is now second nature. Lisa (Nelson) was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you! Meg G. - Teacher, Livingston, MT I wanted to take a minute to thank you for the wonderful program. This program has transformed my life for the better. Adriana has helped me so much - she has been so receptive to my needs. She took the time each week to explain and make sure I understood the idea behind the lesson - and beyond. Can't thank you both enough, N.R. - Puerto Rico I am very pleased with the balance program. My dietitian Sandra was extremely supportive and encouraging. I have learned a brand new way of healthy eating for my family and myself.
