For those who prefer to follow the Alimentavie Program by themselves, without phone follow-ups, nor group meetings, you have the possibility of buying all the Alimentavie tools, including the conference notes of the first Alimentavie class and a copy of the Alimentavie healthy recipe from that first class (cf. Alimentavie Documents Section for a description of all the tools; Conference Notes for other class are available at an extra cost).

a. Alimentavie Food Guide  The Alimentavie Food Guide is the ultimate eating plan for ensuring and maintaining optimum health.  It is based on the Canadian Food Guide, the Diabetes Food Guide and the results of various scientific studies related to nutrition and health.  It respects the Canadian Healthy Eating Guidelines and highlights the importance of incorporating foods known for their benefits on overall health, vitality and in the prevention of various diseases.  This tool was designed to help guide you in your daily food choices once you have reached and maintained your ideal weight.

b. Alimentavie Meal Plans The Alimentavie Meal Plans were developed to simplify your life during your weight loss and to ensure that you meet your daily requirements.   They were conceived to avoid you having to count calories and determine on your own how many portions of each food group you need daily to meet your needs and eat healthy.

c. Alimentavie Program The Alimentavie Program has been conceived in order to help you make better use of the Alimentavie Food Guide and your Alimentavie Meal Plan.  In this 33 page booklet, you will find each food group explained in detail, suggestions for making healthier food choices and a list of foods with their respective serving size.  Furthermore, you also have blank pages added at the end of the book for your personal notes.

d. Alimentavie Food Journal

The Food Journal is the key to weight loss success.  Studies have shown that people who keep a food journal have more success at losing weight.  Tracking the food and drinks that we consume daily helps us determine our eating patterns and behaviors enabling us to make the necessary adjustments.  Furthermore, it forces us to take responsibility for our food choices and gives us insight into when and why we eat.

e. Alimentavie Conference Notes

We will discuss a new topic on nutrition, health or weight loss during each Alimentavie meeting (class).  In order for you to take full advantage of these conferences, notes will be distributed at the beginning of every meeting.  For those of you who have opted for the phone follow-ups, the notes will be sent to you by email 1 or 2 days before your scheduled follow-up.

f. Alimentavie Healthy Recipes

At every Alimentavie meeting (class) your dietitian-nutritionist will have prepared a new, healthy recipe for you to sample and will give you a printed copy of the recipe.  The purpose of this is to introduce you to new flavors, less commonly known and used foods, new culinary techniques and tips, help you vary your menus and lighten up or increase the nutritional value of more traditional recipes.  For those of you who have opted for the phone follow-ups, the recipe will be sent to you by email 1 or 2 days before your scheduled follow-up.  The sampled recipe will also be posted on the Alimentavie web site each week and accessible to all, free of charge.
