Before your first visit, think about your weight loss goals and what you hope to achieve. Consider your eating preferences and any dietary restrictions. Bring a list of foods you enjoy and dislike. Wear comfortable clothing for your initial weigh-in. Plan to spend 60-90 minutes at your first appointment.

During your appointment, be honest about your eating habits and lifestyle. This helps your consultant create a plan that works for you. Ask questions about the meal options and program structure.
