Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What kind of diet is this?

A. We are a low calorie, low carbohydrate, higher protein diet plan.

Q. How long will it take me to lose all my weight?

A. Everyone is different, but if you stick to the entire plan and do not stray, you should be able to lose approximately 2-5 pounds per week on average. We have seen some of our clients lose up to 13 pounds in 7 days.

Q. How does LifeTurn®differ from other programs?

A. We are not a "one-size-fits-all" program. We have customized meal plans for different client profiles, including those with:

  • Type 2 diabetes
  • High Cholesterol
  • Hypoglycemia
  • Other health problems

Q. How can I succeed with LifeTurn® when I've failed with all the other programs?

A: Most programs fail because they don't teach you how to eat in real life. They urge you to eat their special pre-packaged foods, and drink their special drinks. Some even involve prescription medications and vitamin injections! The pounds come off--until the program ends. This is a convenient short-term solution, but no way to lose the weight and keep it off. This is why LifeTurn® will never sell pre-packaged food, or recommend diet pills. Right from the start, we teach you how to eat correctly and exercise so that when the program is over, you've developed new, healthy habits for a better lifestyle.

Q. How easy is LifeTurn®?

A. If you don't have the time to read labels, books or listen to CD's on weight loss, or read the labels on everything you put in your mouth, then LifeTurn® is for you! The plan is designed to be easy and convenient, even for the busiest of the busy. We give you a prepared menu that even does the carb count for you. We walk you through it every step of the way, and train you on how to make proper food and nutrition choices. LifeTurn® Weight Loss is designed with you in mind: so there is no excuse not to do it.

Q. What about the emotional support I need?

A: I know from personal experience the emotional toll of being overweight and the strain it can put on family and other relationships. A healthy lifestyle includes healthy relationships, and that's what we're here for. Our goal with LifeTurn® is to support you physically with healthy meal plans, and emotionally with peer support groups and consultation. We help you, and you in turn help others with your experience.

Q. Will I have time to eat healthy?

A. Absolutely! With LifeTurn®, you never have to think about what you are going to eat. We do it for you. The meals are quick to prepare, and great for people on the go. Only have a few minutes..? That's all you need!

Q. How much does LifeTurn® cost?

A. No matter what your budget is, you will no longer be able to say “I can't afford to lose weight.” You must come in for a FREE consultation, so we can determine which plan is appropriate for you. We also offer payment plans.

Q. Will I be hungry?

A. No. On the LifeTurn® plan, you will be eating six times a day, and eating foods that will help you feel full. You will also be drinking plenty of water, which will keep you from feeling hungry. Snacks between meals will also assist with cravings.

Q. What if I don't like some of the foods on the plan?

A. That will never be a problem. LifeTurn® menu plans offer the freedom to substitute foods at any time. This way, you have a diet that is perfect for you!

Q. How can I avoid getting discouraged when I reach a plateau in my weight loss?

A. You cannot avoid this, but you CAN overcome it! LifeTurn® provides you with a specialized menu designed for weight loss plateaus.

Q. I'm a vegetarian. Does LifeTurn® have a plan for me?

A. LifeTurn® has a vegetarian menu, and just like all our other plans, it comes with a shopping list to help you buy your food.

Q. I'm hypoglycemic. Does LifeTurn® have a plan for me?

A. Yes. We have a perfect menu for you full of complex carbohydrates, which is what you need. Your carbs will be higher than the regular plan, and you will be kept on a constant carb level throughout the day. Also, LifeTurn's menus have no simple sugars.

Q. I'm a type 2 diabetic. Does LifeTurn® have a plan for me?

A. Yes. We specialize in providing type 2 diabetic menus which often times have reduced or even stopped our clients need for their medication. Your physician will advise you if he/she decides to remove or adjust any of your medication.

Q. How does this affect my blood sugar?

A. If you are concerned about low blood sugar, we can adjust your carbohydrate intake, or your personal physician can adjust your insulin. We also work closely with your doctor's recommendations.

Q. What is ketosis?

A. Ketosis is a process or state in which your body burns fat.

Q. Can everyone go into ketosis?

A. No, diabetics and those who are hypoglycemic should not go through ketosis.

Q. I'm a cardiac patient, and I've heard that high protein is hard on the heart. Is LifeTurn® appropriate for me?

A. Yes, LifeTurn® is cardiac appropriate, but you'll want to review your diet menu with your personal physician to make sure it's right for you. All of our menus include foods that are low in fat and cholesterol, and high in fiber.

Q. Is the LifeTurn® plan nutrionally adequate?

A. Yes. The LifeTurn® plan is nutritionally adequate for weight loss. We even go a step further --along with your menu, you will receive a list of foods that you can select that will provide you with a greater health benefit (foods with protection against heart disease and cancer).

Q. Why count carbs and not calories?

A. The majority of calories come from protein, and we focus on protein.

Q. What is "metabolic adjustment?"

A. Metabolic adjustment is a gradual adjustment to a normal pattern of eating, and is a very important phase of weight loss. You will still lose weight.

Q. What is "metabolic syndrome?"

A. Metabolic syndrome is characterized by a combination of the following:

  • Elevated triglycerides
  • Low HDL
  • Small, dense, pattern B LDL

It is often associated with:

  • Obesity
  • High Blood Pressure (hypertension)
  • Abnormal cholesterol profile

It puts you at increased risk for:

  • Heart disease
  • Stroke
  • Type 2 diabetes

Q. What if I "fall off the wagon" at a party or event?

A. If you happen to make a wrong food choice on occasion, you'll know it's not the end of the world. You can be at peace knowing you can start a new day tomorrow. Self-sabotage is not the answer. Turn your bad day into a good day tomorrow.

Q: I've finished the program. What do I do now?

A. This is the first question most people ask when they finish other weight loss programs. LifeTurn® is a lifeplan for healthy eating. We give you the tools, the instruction, the guidance, support, and the meal plans to fit your tastes. We make it easy for you. By the time you finish the program, you will have established healthy habits consisting of:

  • Making proper food choices
  • Eating the right foods frequently to keep your metabolism strong
  • Eating smaller portions because you've retrained your body and mind
  • Having a new outlook on food.

With LifeTurn®, you'll find yourself saying, "I KNOW what to do now!"
