Sixty minutes, $180. Weight is one data point among many and it is optional at every appointment. If you would rather not know the number, you will not be told it — that is a standing instruction on your file.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A normal week, not an aspirational one. Shift work, takeaway, the biscuits at 3pm — all of it useful, none of it judged.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

You will leave with two or three specific things to change, written down. Not a fourteen-page plan, not a week of prescribed menus, and not a shopping list of foods you have never bought. Detailed meal plans have terrible adherence — they assume a week that does not have a late meeting, a sick child or a birthday in it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

On weight.<\/strong> Weighing is optional and blind weighing is available — you step on facing away, we record it, you are not told the number.
