Can you cater for dietary needs such as vegetarians, vegans and gluten or dairy intolerance?

Yes, due to the tailored nature of our programs, each meal plan can cater for individual dietary needs such as gluten or dairy intolerance, as well as vegetarians or vegans.

Can you tell me more about dietary replacements?

At LifeShape Clinic we believe that the correct meal replacement used under the supervision of qualified health professionals can be a great short-term weight loss tool.

LifeShape Clinic have their own comprehensive range of meal replacements as part of their programs. LifeShape LED™ is a nutritionally complete meal replacement designed in conjunction with our medical team. The range provides all of the protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins and minerals you need as part of your LifeShape meal plan and comes in a range of bars, shakes and soups.

If you prefer not to use dietary replacements, our Dietitians can design you a personalised meal plan to ensure that you are enjoying a balanced diet during weight loss.

I am considering bariatric surgery, can your programs help me?

Our LifeShape programs are an excellent alternative to bariatric surgery. We can help you make healthy lifestyle changes to achieve long term health and weight loss. Bariatric surgery isn’t for everyone. There are risks, financial considerations and medical issues to take into account.

 Weight loss surgery isn’t a magic wand – If you choose to undergo surgery, you will still have to modify your diet and eating habits before and after the procedure. Bariatric surgery can also cost at least $10,000 – $15,000, and revisions of the surgery are possible.

Australia’s most credible guidelines from the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) state that no one should consider bariatric surgery without first undergoing a comprehensive lifestyle and behaviour modification program. We can help you make healthy lifestyle changes in a tailored plan for long term health and weight loss with results equal to bariatric surgery.
