One Goal

This physician-monitored, comprehensive program provides meal replacements as you learn how to reintroduce store-bought food. We will teach you how to make healthy choices, focusing on good nutrition and exercise. We are aiming for permanent weight loss, achieved by fundamental behavioral change on your part and a network of support on ours.

Impact your life in countless ways:

  • Increasing your energy
  • Reducing your blood pressure and joint pain
  • Improving your blood glucose and cholesterol levels
  • Improving your appearance and self-image
  • Extending your life

Two Options

New Direction offers two options to help overweight individuals achieve their weight loss goals:

Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) –

For those with more than 40 pounds to lose. Meal replacements are the sole source of nutrition.

Low Calorie Diet (LCD) –

For those who have less than 40 pounds to lose. This moderately regimented diet replaces two of three meals with product and allows the individual to eat one lean, healthy meal of store-bought ingredients.

Three Phases

You will meet with a registered dietitian, a certified diabetes educator and a fitness specialist to teach you about making informed, healthy choices during the three phases of the program:

Reduction –

During the initial phase, you consume meal replacements provided by the program.

Adaptation –

When you approach your goal weight, you gradually reintroduce store-bought food to your diet.

Sustenance –

Our support and guidance continues once you return completely to grocery bought food.
