U Difference

WHY U WORKS

The truth is, most weight loss programs work – at least for some people. They work because they cut calories and follow the basic principles of weight loss. But they don’t all work for everyone. You are an individual with a unique genetic makeup, unique metabolism, unique health challenges, unique needs and unique barriers to weight loss. So it’s not surprising that a one-size-fits-all approach isn’t the best answer for you. Unless your individuality is taken into account, your weight loss program won’t provide you with the results you’re looking for – and won’t lead to changes that you can easily maintain through the rest of your life. For that to happen, your life needs to be considered first.

Every U Weight Loss™ clinic has Certified Weight Loss Health Coaches that have received extensive training in the area of weight loss and are qualified to coach you through your program. They’ll take into consideration your unique needs and recommend the right course of action for you.

Why are our programs so effective?

IN-DEPTH ASSESSMENT OF YOUR PERSONAL HEALTH

We assess your current health condition from the beginning to come up with a unique plan for your success. This evaluation is the first step towards setting up your personalized program. Our three-step process uses your health history, Biomarkers of Health assessment, and one-on-one consultation to create a plan customized for you.

THE RIGHT KIND OF WEIGHT LOSS

The fact is, stepping on a scale tells you some of what’s going on with your body, but it doesn’t tell you everything. How do you know how much of that number consists of body fat, for example? And how much of it is water? While it’s great to lose weight, losing fat is even better, as losing several pounds of water every week does nothing to help you reach your weight loss goals – it can come back just as quickly as it left. Our Certified Health Coaches can determine whether your weight loss is from water, muscle mass or body fat and adjust your program accordingly.

REALISTIC WEIGHT LOSS

How much you can expect to lose every week depends on several factors. Using the results from your Healthy Weight Analysis, we can accurately anticipate how much weight and body fat you can lose over time, to make sure you stay on track with your goal.

REAL FOOD

All of our programs offer calorie-controlled nutrition plans based on real food. Nothing is pre-packaged and we don’t promote foods that contain artificial sweeteners, preservatives or synthetic ingredients. Real food nutrition sets you up for eating in the real world. Our meal plans are created by nutritional consultants with culinary backgrounds, who understand the importance of food quality as well as quantity. The ingredients used for your meals can be found at your local grocery store and the recipes are amazingly tasty. You’ll enjoy every minute of eating yourself thin.

EXERCISE INTEGRATION

U Weight Loss is one of the few weight loss companies that promotes exercise as a component to its program. All major health organizations highly recommend regular physical activity, along with a balanced diet, as part of a healthy lifestyle. There’s no better time to begin increasing your physical activity than when you’re on a weight loss program – not only will it enhance your results, but it will help you keep the weight off long term. We have created our own comprehensive exercise program, designed by certified personal trainers, that includes three important components of exercise – Aerobic (Cardiovascular) Exercise, Resistance Training and Flexibility Training. The program is simple, doesn’t require you to be a member of a gym, and is easy to incorporate into every phase of the U Weight Loss program.

PERSONAL SUPPORT

At each visit to our clinic you’ll receive the support and knowledge necessary to understand how your lifestyle, activity levels, food intake and health history have an impact on your weight. You’ll learn how to modify behaviours and make the adjustments necessary to lose weight and keep it off permanently.
