Work with a weight loss dietitian or nutritionist covered by your insurance
Overcome your challenges with losing weight
Weight loss is a unique journey—what helps one person might not suit another. Generic trendy and restrictive diets often fail, particularly over time. Most people on these diets gain most of their weight back, and sometimes even more.
Reasons why it can be hard to lose weight and keep it off:
- Too much sugar, salt, fat, and processed foods.
- No exercise or movement
- Restrictive diets that lead to binge eating or overeating
- Insulin resistance (diabetes, prediabetes, or PCOS)
- Leptin resistance (Leptin is a hormone that suppresses hunger)
- Gut health issues like IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), bad bacteria
- Difficulty with meal preparation and cooking
- Battling depression or other mood disorders
- Sleep issues
- Stress
Break free from bad weight loss diets with personalized support
A Fay dietitian can offer personalized diet plans to:
- Help with nutritional deficiencies or medical conditions contributing to weight gain
- Address weight loss plateaus and emotional eating barriers
- Set realistic weight loss milestones
- Focus on total body wellness for long-term health
- Build a healthier relationship with food
Everyone's journey is different, so your dietitian works with you 1 on 1 to provide a hyper-personalized plan
Have you tried (seemingly) every diet out there with limited success? Trying to beat prediabetes holistically? Worn out from life and know your diet could be better but don’t know where to start? Your dietitian will assess all this and more to craft a completely personalized approach for your treatment based on your goals, lifestyle, health history, motivators, and more. Fay dietitians use clinically proven methods to drive results, including goal setting, intuitive eating, nutrition education, lifestyle counseling, lab testing, and meal planning.
The world of nutrition is overwhelming. There’s so much information out there – but how can you know what’s right for you? The reality is: nutrition is complex and requires an expert’s guidance. Registered dietitians are the only nutrition professionals qualified to offer medical nutrition therapy (MNT). That means RDNs have a deep understanding of the chemical properties of food and how that interacts with one’s body on a cellular level to impact overall health. Instead of stressing out over the latest food trend, put your care in the hands of a dietitian and find ease in knowing you’re getting personalized, research-backed nutrition advice.
Ready to break free from the harsh voice in your head criticizing your every food choice? Whether weight loss is part of your goals or not, your dietitian can help calm the noise with a research-backed approach that addresses both the practical challenges of daily meals and the psychological factors of disordered eating. You can learn ways to manage your health and weight that go beyond the confines of a traditional “diet” by prioritizing balance and finding the right nutrition approach for you personally.
Accountability is a crucial factor in making any lifestyle change. Having a set weekly meeting with your dietitian – and knowing you have an expert on your side – can make a world of difference when it comes to sticking to your nutrition goals. You’ll have regular check-ins where you go over your progress and any challenges you’re facing, and together, you and your dietitian will make adjustments to account for your evolving needs. RDNs know as well as anyone that a successful plan is one that fits into your life, not works against it.
You have to make a lot of decisions every day, including what to eat. Meal planning removes the headache of that decision, and when it’s done in partnership with your dietitian, it’s that much easier to meet your goals without exhausting yourself in the process. All the hard work of figuring out how much to eat and when is already done for you – you just need to stick to the plan. Your RDN can provide meal ideas and recipes too, which can help boost adherence and make following your plan simpler and more enjoyable.
No matter why you’re getting a dietitian’s expertise, intuitive eating principles can help almost anyone cultivate a healthier relationship with food. Using behavioral psychology, intuitive eating emphasizes getting in touch with your body to better understand hunger and fullness cues, identify emotional eating, and remove any shame or guilt that might come up. With this psychological approach, your dietitian can help you calm the “food noise” in your mind to cultivate a sense of empowerment and joy in eating once again.
Meeting your nutrition goals is about more than just the food you eat. Your daily routine – activity level, sleep schedule, stress levels, work life, and environment – has a huge impact on your overall health. Your dietitian will create your personalized plan based on these factors and more. Taking this approach makes your plan more realistic, which makes achieving your goals easier. It also allows your RD to identify any potential challenges and craft a plan to overcome them.
Food can play an important role in managing chronic health conditions, but you need an expert to guide you. Fay has dietitians specializing in diabetes, IBS, PCOS, thyroid health, obesity, and more. These providers can collaborate directly with your broader care team to ensure your nutrition plan is aligned with your ongoing treatments. Your RDN can do more than just make a meal plan based on your goals and condition – they can also educate you on the key factors of eating for that condition, empowering you to continue the care for yourself.
Health is foundational to wellbeing. Fay dietitians are qualified to support weight loss, hormonal imbalances, chronic disease, and much more. Collaborating with an RDN greatly increases your chances of success in meeting your goals. Whatever your nutrition goals are, you can find a board-certified registered dietitian nutritionist specializing in that area with Fay.
Food is intrinsically linked to our health and wellbeing. People who worked with a dietitian through Fay made lifestyle changes that had immense benefit to their physical health.
Making lifestyle changes surrounding food and nutrition had benefits that went beyond the physical. Food and our relationship with it, has far reaching implications on our emotional and mental health.
What to look for in a weight loss nutritionist
Board-certified
A Registered Dietitian (RD or RDN) can significantly aid your weight loss efforts. These professionals hold at least a Bachelor’s degree in nutrition and dietetics, often with advanced degrees, and are trained to create personalized nutrition plans using proven scientific methods. They can debunk diet myths, helping you start your weight loss journey on the right foot.
Expertise
When choosing a dietitian nutritionist, opt for one with a specialization in weight loss. In your first meeting, feel free to ask questions and discuss their weight loss approach. You may also share information about pre-existing conditions, like diabetes, eating disorders, or other issues. This helps ensure tailored, expert guidance for your specific needs.
Success stories
Finding the right dietitian can feel daunting as it involves being vulnerable and sharing your struggles with food, weight, and personal habits. To boost your chances of a good match, read reviews and success stories to see how they've helped others like you achieve their health goals.
1-on-1 guidance
Your Fay dietitian nutritionist provides personalized guidance in face-to-face or online sessions, whichever suits you best. While online platforms, social networks, and magazines are full of cookie-cutter diet advice, remember that what works for others might not work for you because everyone's body and needs are unique.
Benefits of working with a Fay Weight Loss Nutritionist
Weight loss specialist
Weight loss dietitians at Fay are your partners in shedding pounds healthily and sustainably. They steer clear of fad and restrictive diets that promise quick results but harm long-term health. These licensed professionals offer nutritious diet plans, realistic goals, and ongoing support. They can even help you find recipes that cater to your taste, helping you make healthier choices and improve your relationship with food.
Covered by insurance
You may wonder, “Is a weight loss dietitian expensive?” At Fay, the answer is no. Our dietitians are covered by all major health plans, often costing you nothing or just a $10 co-pay. Plus, they handle insurance billing directly, letting you focus on your health and priorities without the hassle of paperwork.
Total body health focus
Feeling tired all the time or struggling to sleep well? Weight gain can cause fatigue, brain fog, memory issues, metabolic disease, and even impact your mental health. Since weight gain affects the entire body, our approach to weight loss involves addressing your whole-body health. At Fay, our dietitians focus on holistic science-based methods designed to help you lose weight and enhance overall health.
Ongoing support
If you've ever tried a trending diet, you know it's often easy to lose weight at first, but maintaining weight loss is another story. Sticking to a diet plan might work when conditions are ideal and motivation is high, but real-world challenges like stressful work deadlines, holidays, or life changes can derail even the best intentions. Fay’s dietitians provide ongoing support, cheer you on, and help you navigate common pitfalls that might impact your weight loss efforts.
Losing weight and get relief from food cravings
Undo a history of bad diets
A history of poor diets and weight struggles can impact both your physical and mental health. Excess weight can lead to fatigue, hormonal imbalances, poor gut health, and a weaker immune system, which may also affect your energy, mood, and stress levels. Fay’s dietitians offer personalized, science-backed guidance to manage your weight and boost overall nutrition.
Learn new eating habits
Learning new eating habits and making lifestyle changes are key to losing weight and maintaining it. However, making these adjustments on your own can be daunting due to lack of knowledge, motivation, or simply not knowing where to start. A Fay dietitian can make all the difference, providing ongoing support and practical advice to help simplify your journey to a healthier lifestyle.
Cope with emotional eating triggers
Emotional eating triggers can seriously undermine your weight loss efforts. When emotions drive eating habits, it often leads to consuming more calories than needed, typically from processed foods rich in sugar, fat, salt, and refined flour. This can create a cycle of guilt and further emotional eating. A Fay dietitian can help you identify your emotional triggers and develop strategies to cope with them. These weight loss nutritionists provide not only nutritional guidance but also support in building healthier eating patterns that stick.
Curb cravings to binge or restrict food
Cravings to binge or restrict food can stem from various factors including negative emotions, hormonal imbalances, poor gut health, social pressure, or even habits formed over time. Such intense cravings can lead to nutritional deficiencies and disrupt mental well-being, creating a cycle that's hard to break. A Fay dietitian nutritionist can be incredibly supportive in these situations. They work with you to understand the root of your cravings, help balance your diet, and offer strategies to manage 'food noise.'
