Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist?

Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) have advanced credentials and are held to professional standards. Nutritionist isn't always a regulated term. Before and After employs registered dietitians, which means you're getting science-based expertise.

Will I have to give up all my favorite foods?

Not at all. Our approach incorporates foods you enjoy into sustainable meal plans. Restrictive diets fail because they're unsustainable. We work with your preferences to create plans you can actually stick with long-term.

How quickly will I lose weight?

Healthy weight loss is typically 1-2 pounds weekly, achieved through modest dietary changes combined with activity. Some people lose faster initially. We focus on sustainable loss you can maintain rather than crash dieting.

Is nutrition counseling covered by insurance?

Many insurance plans cover registered dietitian visits, especially if you have a medical condition or referral from your doctor. We check coverage and can bill your insurance. Some high-deductible plans may not cover it.

What if I need help managing a specific medical condition?

Our registered dietitians have expertise in medical nutrition therapy. We work closely with your doctor and can adjust recommendations for conditions like diabetes, heart disease, IBS, or others.

Do I need to count calories?

We don't push calorie counting because it's not sustainable long-term for most people. We teach portion awareness and hunger cues instead. Some clients find tracking helpful; it's optional based on your preference.

Can I do telehealth sessions instead of in-person?

Yes, we offer full telehealth nutrition counseling. It's convenient and equally effective. You'll still get personalized meal planning and coaching from a registered dietitian.

What happens when I reach my goal weight?

We transition to maintenance planning so you keep the weight off long-term. Many clients do occasional check-ins for accountability. We've taught you the skills; you'll have them for life.
