Weight loss and dieting information

Ask the person providing or selling you weight-loss advice or diet products, medications, or formulas about their qualifications and training in nutrition and health.

Long-term weight control is the safest and most important goal of any diet program. Permanent lifestyle changes — such as eating nutritious foods, calorie control, and increasing physical activity — help promote long-term weight loss according to medical experts.

How to exercise these rights

Email care@getlifeperfect.com and we will provide an itemized price estimate for your specific program, its expected duration, the qualifications of the clinicians and the dietitian or nutritionist who reviewed it, and answers to any questions about health risks — before you are charged anything.

Membership, medication, laboratory tests, and any other extras are itemized and disclosed to you in full before you are charged — nothing is billed that you have not seen first. Treatment is prescribed only when a licensed clinician determines it is appropriate, and there is no guarantee of results.
