Weight Management

Medcan Weight Management provides a full 12 months of support to ensure you’re successful in making long-term change. You’ll benefit from:

• A team committed to your success. Your physician, dietitian and program coordinator share their perspectives on your unique goals and challenges to ensure you receive a plan that is personalized to your needs and daily realities.
• One-on-one physician guidance to focus on your personal overeating triggers. Regular sessions with our nationally-recognized weight management physician, who will work with you to identify and treat the barriers between you and your best weight.
• A dedicated dietitian by your side. A registered dietitian will take all the one-on-one time you need to make sure you become savvy about food shopping, meal planning and managing through tough situations in a way that is well-grounded in nutrition science. An easy food diary app will be used to help you and your dietitian track calories in real-time, learn and plan ahead.

• Flexibility to match your lifestyle. You can book your sessions online. Plus, attend your sessions by video from the comfort of home, work or on-the-go using a personal computer, tablet or smartphone.

The Medcan Weight Management approach is grounded in our expertise in cognitive behavioral therapy and nutrition science. We’ll give you the three areas of knowledge and skill you need to stay at your best weight for life:

• Truly knowing how to lose weight. Eating the right amount of food is the essential way to lose weight. While this concept may seem simple, the hard part is knowing what the right amount is for you. We assess your needs and challenges, and apply the latest nutrition science to help you understand the right amount of calories to consume. You’ll get the insights you need to reach your optimal weight and then maintain it for a lifetime.
• The ability to face “wanting”. Despite our best intentions and efforts, it can be challenging to stick with consuming the right amount of food. Learn what causes your cravings and how to minimize them.
• Perseverance through setbacks. Learn how to respond to setbacks successfully, so you bounce back quickly and get back on track.

With these abilities learned, you will have the tools you need to stay motivated and successful.
