Detailed Information on the GreenLite Program

The GreenLite method utilizes real food that you can easily prepare for yourself. We will place you on a low calorie diet, higher in protein to minimize or prevent muscle loss and curb hunger, and lower in carbohydrates, sourced from fruits and vegetables to maximize nutrition and reduce hunger. We avoid processed grains, starches and sugars since they increase hunger and have little to no nutritional value. Small meals scheduled throughout the day become routine and stabilize the metabolism and prevents hunger.

Our team approach creates the support and the accountability to keep you on track.  Our Medical Provider will design a personalized program based on your metabolic profile. This plan will be revisited periodically as we gather more information and learn more about your preferences and challenges. Our goal is to help you make changes in the way you eat that will not only help you lose weight now, but keep it off in the future. On average our clients lose between 2-5 pounds per week. We spotlight a client each month in our blog, Read their stories to better understand what there is to gain and what to expect!

Our program begins with an initial comprehensive visit, followed by weekly visits that are billed in a monthly recurring cycle until you achieve your weight loss goals or decide to end the subscription membership (modeled similarly to a gym subscription). The monthly recurring fee of $360/month is assessed the 1st of each month. That averages to $12/day, which many of our clients say they make up in savings on grocery bills (processed foods are expensive!) or by what they save at restaurants or on alcoholic drinks. The length of your participation is determined by you and how much you would like to lose or how long you want to participate. You can stop your participation by simply letting us know in writing before the next billing cycle.  Most of our clients, however, reach their goal and go through a transition period where determining an end date can be assisted by your educator and medical provider.

Our weight loss program qualifies for a Flexible Savings Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) expense since we are medically supervised. We do not bill or accept insurance payment, but you are welcome to pursue this endeavor independently and we will be happy to provide you with receipts. Please be advised that MOST health insurance policies do NOT cover weight loss and it’s best to investigate before pursuing the arduous process. A few large, self-insured companies have covered up to 80% of a medically supervised weight loss program so check with your HR department, especially if you work for Yahoo, Microsoft, Cisco or another large company that may provide this benefit.
