Our nutrition programs are specifically designed to help each client achieve and maintain optimal eating habits, manage specific medical conditions, and make permanent lifestyle changes. Our registered dietitians - the nutrition experts - at The Rite Bite Wellness Center are here to help you identify your nutritional needs, establish realistic goals, and implement your individualized nutrition plan.

The Rite Bite Healthy Balance Lifestyle Program
Come discover how a combination of healthy eating and activity can build a healthier you! The Rite Bite Healthy Balance Program is a comprehensive system that helps you gain the knowledge needed to maintain your healthy weight and lifestyle habits. Our program allows you to work directly with a dietitian on a weekly basis to review your progress and provide the support you need to be successful. The Rite Bite focuses on choosing the “Rite” foods in the “Rite” portions and no food groups are eliminated. You are given the flexibility to make your own choices based on your specific goals and preferences. A free fitness assessment is also included in any of our on-site weight management packages.

Keys to the Program-

• Food and physical activity records (Lifestyle Journal and Physical Activity Journal) to assist you in evaluating and tracking your eating and physical activity habits.
• A Personalized Nutrition Plan to help you achieve your goals!
• Weekly Lifestyle principles and "challenges" focusing on core nutrition and fitness concepts to help yuo achieve a healthy lifestyle.

Our program is based on an accounting system we call The Rite Bite Exchanges. The Rite Bite Lifestyle Journal was created to help you make balanced choices.  The first step in the weight loss process is to determine the number of calories necessary for you to maintain your present body weight. Eating fewer calories than this will cause weight loss. Your dietitian will determine your calorie level based on the information gathered during your initial assessment. You may also choose to have us measure your resting metabolic rate (RMR). Using the MedGem®, the only FDA-approved handheld device on the market, we can obtain a very accurate measure of your resting energy expenditure.  You may also chose to follow a very low calorie diet under the strict supervision of our physician.

Medical Nutrition Therapy

Medical Nutrition Therapy is the application of nutritional interventions to help manage or prevent certain medical conditions. Many medical conditions can occur due to stress and poor dietary habits. Chronic health problems such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension can be caused by poor food choices and lifestyle habits. Many of these medical conditions can be managed, corrected or prevented through nutrition and fitness interventions.

Our highly qualified nutrition experts will work with you individually to obtain lasting results.

During our initial nutritional assessment we will review your medical history, laboratory values, and other nutrition related information to help you set realistic goals and support you throughout your journey to better health. Our registered dietitians are Medicare providers, and we will be happy to work with your insurance companies to obtain coverage for our services. We also believe strongly in working with your physician to help monitor your progress.
Specific conditions that can be treated by medical nutrition therapy include: obesity, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, diabetes, kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and many others.

Resting Metabolic Rate Analysis using New Leaf Testing
Knowing your resting metabolic rate is the key managing your weight and fitness goals. We use the New Leaf Metabolic Training system that will determine your personal metabolic profile! From this assessment, you will know exactly how many calories you should consume each day in order to meet your goals. 

Metabolism is the rate at which your body burns calories. Your metabolism can differ greatly from others who share the same height, weight, gender and age. Since metabolism can change over time, understanding your unique metabolism is essential for management of weight and general fitness.

Trying to manage weight without an accurate RMR is like balancing a checkbook without knowing how much money is being spent. The Rite Bite Wellness Center determines metabolic measurements using The New Leaf Metabolic System by MedGraphics.
