How Do Dietitian Consultations Work?
At Melamed Weight & Wellness, dietitian consultations aim to give you the expert guidance, clarity, and confidence you need to make meaningful progress. From the moment you begin your journey, our team, under the supervision of Dr. Melamed, ensures your nutrition plan is realistic, sustainable, and customized to your unique body and lifestyle.
Dietitian Consultations
Our licensed dietitian will take time to understand your health history, habits, preferences, and goals. This is a safe space where you can ask questions, receive answers, and gain actionable advice. Whether you’re following a structured plan like OPTIFAST or simply learning to make healthier choices, each session is specifically curated to meet you where you are.
Body Composition Analysis
Every consultation is enhanced by InBody, our advanced, in-room body composition analyzer. This tool gives us precise insights into your muscle mass, fat distribution, hydration status, and more. By understanding how your body is changing over time, we’re able to track your progress with accuracy and adjust your plan accordingly.
Diet and Nutrition Planning
Together with your dietitian, you’ll create a practical eating plan that works with your lifestyle. That may include individualized food-based diets, high-protein plans, keto variations, or detox protocols. Recipes, food swaps, shopping tips, and meal prep strategies are all part of the experience, so you can succeed at home, on the go, or dining out.

Your Dietary Options
At Melamed Weight & Wellness, we understand that no two bodies or lifestyles are the same. That’s why we offer a variety of diet options. Whether you’re seeking weight loss or sustainable, long-term change, your plan will be selected to match your unique goals, preferences, and medical needs. Here’s a closer look at the dietary options you may explore with our team.
Rotational Diet
The rotational diet is a structured, short-term approach that helps “reset” your metabolism by temporarily eliminating certain food groups. For example, you might follow a vegetarian diet for 2-3 weeks, then switch to a lactose-free diet, and then to a gluten-free diet. These changes “stress” the body just enough to encourage more efficient fat loss. It also helps you better understand how different foods affect your energy, digestion, and cravings.
OPTIFAST Diet
The OPTIFAST program is a medically supervised meal replacement plan. It typically spans 26 to 52 weeks and includes three phases: active weight loss, transition, and maintenance. During the active phase, your meals consist of OPTIFAST shakes and bars. As you progress, whole foods are gradually reintroduced. Throughout the program, you’ll receive medical monitoring, dietitian support, and behavioral counseling to help ensure lasting success.
High-Protein Diet
A high-protein diet emphasizes lean, protein-rich foods to help control appetite, preserve muscle mass, and support steady energy throughout the day. This plan is ideal for those with busy lives, as it includes easy-to-prepare recipes and allows for flexibility when eating out. It’s excellent for anyone looking to improve body composition by boosting muscle while reducing fat. You’ll work closely with your dietitian to build meals around your favorite proteins.
Balanced Deficit Diet
The balanced deficit diet focuses on eating whole foods in the right amounts and at the right times, while maintaining a moderate calorie deficit. This plan includes a personalized daily calorie target based on your metabolic rate and lifestyle, ensuring consistent progress without feeling overly restricted. It’s a great choice for those who want to build lifelong habits, enhance their food awareness, and establish a sustainable eating rhythm.
