Bridging the Gap Between Online Weight Loss Tracking Tools and Personalized Coaching
Web based business provides the missing pieces that the majority of online weight loss tracking sites are missing.
Raleigh, NC, June 13, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Online weight loss programs are gaining speed and there are more and more choices for individuals including menu planning, calorie calculating, and online support groups. The tracking tools have some fairly sophisticated properties providing loads of information to help people track their intake and progress, but according to a recent article published on diet detective.com there are some disadvantages of some of the online tools.
Some of these disadvantages include: the online tools are very time consuming to use regularly, no accountability, maintenance is difficult, and there is no or limited personal connection. Real Living Nutrition has created a unique online program that provides the pieces that the tracking programs do not. This approach provides online coaching and education programs where people can meet regularly with their dietitian and get help to overcome challenges that so often keep people stuck.
Real Living Nutrition provides a lifestyle assessment and diet makeover from a Registered Dietitian, then program participants receive e-learning sessions on various topics such as exercise, goal setting, meal planning, metabolism, emotional/stress eating, and food cravings. Each week they receive a reminder email that they have a new session creating accountability. Once they login, they report their progress in an online journal that goes over their wins, challenges, goals, questions, and a meal diary which gets submitted to their dietitian. The dietitian responds to this online journal providing expert advice, practical strategies, coaching, and support to help individuals overcome any obstacles. All of this is completed in a secure online environment.
"This system is much like an online workshop", says Meri Raffetto, founder of Real Living Nutrition. "Clients go through an interactive learning session, set up goals for the week, and then meet with their dietitian each week to discuss how things went and to receive guidance. Clients have the same dietitian they work with so they build a personal relationship. The program focuses primarily on changing habits instead of dieting. This approach bridges the gap between online tracking tools and receiving personal guidance and support."
