NFMC Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD)
Our proven weight loss plan provides an Introductory Consultation consisting of an overview of the North Florida Medical Clinic VLCD program. You will receive educational material regarding behavioral changes in eating, exercise, attitudes, and meal plans. Your doctor will also review your history for the presence of any possible medical contraindications.
Once you have had your Introductory Consultation and decide to begin the plan, the Initial Visit will be scheduled. During this visit, you will be asked to complete a Weight Loss Questionnaire and will undergo a physical exam including an EKG, a body composition analysis and a complete workup of laboratory tests. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to learn about the meal plans and receive guidance on a variety of our nutritional low-calorie food choices.

Initially, you will be seen in one-week intervals to ensure you are on the right track. As you advance in our program, subsequent office visits will be scheduled every other week to monitor your progress, review educational topics, and dispense nutritional food products as needed. We understand that weight loss is a challenging, emotional journey. In addition to reviewing your data, making calorie level adjustments, and offering corrective feedback, we provide an abundance of caring and empathy as you strive to reach your goal weight.

"At 5’0”and 220 lbs. I was in desperate need to lose weight. I went to North Florida Medical Clinic for a routine check and they recommended the NutriMed diet to me. I have lost 40 lbs in four months!! The diet has been very easy to follow because there is so little preparation and cooking. It’s a great plan if you have limited time for breakfast and lunch because the meals are quick to prepare and/or take with you to eat on the go. I would definitely recommend this plan. The staff is so helpful, supportive and encouraging! They really celebrate your weight loss success with you! I still have a lot of weight to lose, but now know I can do it with Nutrimed and my support at North Florida Medical Clinic!"

“I am so fortunate and thankful that I was referred to the weight loss program at North Florida Medical Clinic at the advice of my doctor. For much of my post collegiate years, I have been at varying levels of obesity. I knew I had to make a drastic change. With a simple focus on dietary intake and delicious, portioned nutritional supplements, I found the weight just flying off. I was surprised and relieved to find that I didn’t require the volume of food I was accustomed to eating. With regular periodic snacking and water intake, I rarely felt the hunger pains that come with a carbohydrate-rich diet. After 6 months I had lost nearly 110 pounds! The feelings of confidence and good health are some of the many benefits I’ve discovered in my partnership with North Florida Medical Clinic and the Very Low Calorie Diet.”
