Frequently Asked Questions

How is OnPoint different from other companies?

Our approach matches you with a registered dietitian or nutritionist who will learn about your struggles, provide ongoing support and accountability, and enable you to become the hero in your health journey!

Our philosophy is anti-diet with a focus on food groups and portioning. There is no counting calories, macros, eliminating major food groups or approaching this journey as a "quick-fix".  We assist you in your health goals while maintaining a positive relationship with food.    

Our goal is to provide you with the information and tools you need to use the knowledge you’ve gained in a sustainable way. We’re here to help you ditch diet culture and take control of your health once and for all.

Diet Plan vs Personalized Nutrition

Will we also discuss movement and activity, not just nutrition?

Yes!  Your dietitian will hit on all components of living a healthy lifestyle.  They will assist with pre/post workout nutrition and offer recommendations to integrate more movement into your day. 

Please note that our dietitians are not personal trainers and will not provide you with specific workout plans.

Will my dietitian make me an excerise plan?

Will I get a meal plan every week? Will my dietitian send me recipes?

During your kick-off call with your dietitian, you will receive your meal planning guide.  You will not get a meal plan every week, but you can certainly use your sessions with your dietitian to create a weekly meal plan. 

We also have a member portal with a recipe database that you'll have access to during your program.  

How will my dietitian help me reach my goals?

Your program is personalized to you. Your dietitian compiles information from your consultation and intake forms as well as medical history and uses this information to determine the best strategies to implement to help you reach your goals.

With our structured support, you’ll work at the pace you need to help you regain your confidence and create life-changing results.

How do you measure progress and/or success?

There are many markers of progress, including non-scale victories.  We promise confidence overall in making decisions that will affect your WHOLE-health.  You can measure your progress by stepping on a scale, how your clothes fit, your mental health/clarity and energy levels.   

It's important to be flexible and also to build sustainable habits slowly over time.  Your dietitian isn't here to give you a quick fix, but to educate you along the way so you can feel confident in your lifestyle choices.

What does my dietitian need from me to personalize my experience?

It's important to share as many details as possible on your consultation so that we can give your dietitian information that will assist them in creating your program materials. You will also be asked to complete an intake form and medical history to further customize your plan.   

Lab results can also be very helpful for your dietitian to know where you are in your journey depending on a certain diagnosis.  If you do have a chronic illness that could benefit from getting labs drawn, we can certainly recommend.
