FAQ

Weight management questions

Do you offer a weight loss diet or meal plan?

We don't hand out one diet for everyone. Canadian obesity guidelines recognize several eating patterns that can work, including Mediterranean-style, higher-protein and lower-carbohydrate approaches, so we build a plan around your health, your preferences and what you can keep up. Meal plans are available when they help.

Can a dietitian help if I take Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro?

Yes. GLP-1 medications reduce appetite, which makes it easy to eat too little protein and other nutrients. We help you get enough protein to protect your muscle, manage nausea and constipation with meal size, fibre and fluids, and build habits that last if the dose changes or you stop. Your prescriber manages the medication itself.

How much weight loss makes a difference to my health?

Often less than people expect. Losing 5 to 10% of body weight can improve blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and fatty liver. Canadian guidelines also encourage focusing on health and quality of life, not only on the number on the scale.

Is weight management only about losing weight?

No. We also help with keeping weight off, preventing regain after a diet or a medication change, healthy weight gain, and eating well with a condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure or fatty liver.

Do I need a doctor's referral?

No. You can book directly. Some insurance plans ask for a doctor's referral before they reimburse dietitian services, so check your plan.

Is it covered by insurance?

Many private insurance plans cover services from a Registered Dietitian, and we provide receipts for you to submit. Check your plan for coverage details.

Can I see a weight management dietitian online?

Yes. We offer secure video appointments across Ontario and Quebec, as well as in-person visits at our Ottawa and Gatineau clinics. Online follow-ups make it easier to keep going over months, which is when habits stick.

Weight management in Ottawa, Gatineau and online

We see you in person at our Ottawa and Gatineau clinics or by secure video anywhere in Ontario and Quebec, in English or French. With your consent, we keep your physician informed, including when you take a weight management medication.
