What to Expect

Your initial consultation includes a thorough nutrition assessment, food history, and discussion of your lifestyle, preferences, and goals. We analyze your current eating patterns and identify areas for improvement without judgment. Together, we create realistic, achievable nutrition goals and develop a personalized eating plan. Follow-up sessions focus on progress review, problem-solving, and plan adjustments. We provide ongoing support through text messaging and email between sessions. Most clients see improvements in energy and well-being within 2-3 weeks, with steady weight loss over 3-6 months.

Why Choose Yummy Body Nutrition

Our non-diet approach sets us apart from restrictive weight loss programs that often lead to yo-yo dieting. We focus on sustainable lifestyle changes rather than quick fixes. Our registered dietitians have advanced training in weight management and behavioral nutrition. Clients appreciate our positive, supportive environment that celebrates small victories and progress rather than perfection. We provide practical strategies that work in real life, including how to navigate Philadelphia's diverse food scene while maintaining healthy habits.

Insurance & Pricing

Many insurance plans cover nutrition counseling, especially when related to medical conditions like diabetes or heart disease. We're in-network with most major insurance providers and can verify coverage before your appointment. Self-pay rates are $150 for initial consultations and $100-125 for follow-up sessions. Package deals are available for multiple sessions at discounted rates. Group classes range from $40-60 per session. We accept HSA and FSA payments and offer sliding scale fees for students and those with financial constraints.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first appointment, keep a food diary for at least three days, including one weekend day. Don't change your eating patterns before the consultation - we want to see your typical habits. Bring any recent lab work and a list of medications or supplements you're taking. Come with an open mind and realistic expectations about the timeline for change. Most clients benefit from sessions every 2-3 weeks initially, then monthly as habits become established. Be prepared to discuss your relationship with food honestly, including any previous dieting experiences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you put people on specific diets or meal plans?

We create flexible eating guidelines rather than rigid meal plans. Our approach focuses on teaching you to make healthy choices that fit your lifestyle and preferences rather than following someone else's prescribed diet.

Can you help with emotional eating and food cravings?

Yes, addressing emotional eating is a major part of our practice. We use cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness strategies to help clients identify triggers and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Do you work with people who have medical conditions?

Absolutely. Our registered dietitians are trained to provide medical nutrition therapy for conditions like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and digestive issues.

How is your approach different from other weight loss programs?

We focus on building a healthy relationship with food rather than restriction and willpower. Our goal is to help you eat well for life, not just until you reach a certain weight.

Do you offer virtual consultations?

Yes, we provide both in-person and virtual appointments. Many clients prefer virtual sessions for the convenience and comfort of meeting from home.

How quickly will I see results?

Most clients notice improvements in energy and well-being within 2-3 weeks. Weight loss typically occurs gradually over 3-6 months as you develop sustainable habits.

Can you help me navigate dining out and social eating?

Definitely! We provide practical strategies for restaurant dining, social events, and travel eating. We believe healthy eating should be flexible enough to include social experiences.

What if I've failed at diets before?

Previous diet failures often indicate that restrictive approaches aren't sustainable for you. Our non-diet method addresses the underlying issues that make traditional dieting unsuccessful long-term.
