Understanding Weight Management
What you should know
Weight management is complex, involving metabolism, hormones, psychology, environment, and more. Quick-fix diets fail 95% of the time and can harm metabolism. Evidence-based approaches focus on sustainable habit changes, addressing underlying factors, and improving health markers regardless of scale numbers.

Common questions
Costs, referrals, virtual care, and crisis support in Canada.
Should I see a dietitian or nutritionist?
Registered Dietitians (RD) have regulated credentials and can provide medical nutrition therapy. They're ideal for complex conditions and are more likely covered by insurance. Nutritionists can also provide excellent support but credentials vary by province.
Are weight loss programs covered by insurance?
Dietitian visits are often covered by extended health benefits. Some programs may qualify for health spending accounts. Medically necessary interventions may have provincial coverage. Check your specific plan.
How long does sustainable weight change take?
True metabolic and habit change typically takes 6-12 months minimum. Rapid weight loss often leads to regain. Look for practitioners who set realistic expectations and focus on behavior changes, not just calorie restriction.
