The initial consultation typically lasts 60-90 minutes, during which we gather detailed information about your health history, current diet, goals, and preferences. After this meeting, our dietitian needs 3-5 business days to analyze the data and create your customized plan.

You'll receive your complete nutrition plan via email, followed by a 30-minute follow-up session to review the recommendations and address any questions. This timeframe allows us to research specific nutritional requirements and design a plan that's both effective and sustainable for your particular situation.

The plan serves as a structured guide, but flexibility is built into the design. We provide multiple options for each meal category, allowing you to choose based on your daily schedule, food availability, and preferences. The key is maintaining the overall nutritional balance and portion guidelines.

If certain foods are unavailable or you need to make substitutions, the plan includes equivalent alternatives with similar nutritional profiles. During follow-up consultations, we can adjust recommendations based on your feedback and real-world experience. The goal is creating sustainable habits, not rigid restrictions that are difficult to maintain long-term.

Absolutely. During the initial consultation, we document all allergies, intolerances, and foods you need to avoid. The plan is then designed completely around these restrictions, ensuring you receive adequate nutrition without compromising safety or comfort.

Whether you're dealing with lactose intolerance, gluten sensitivity, nut allergies, or multiple restrictions, we identify suitable alternatives that provide the same nutritional benefits. Our dietitians have experience working with various dietary limitations and can create satisfying meal options that meet your health requirements while avoiding problematic ingredients.

We recommend reviewing your plan every 4-6 weeks, especially during the first few months. As your body adapts and you progress toward your goals, nutritional needs may change. Regular check-ins allow us to monitor your results and make necessary adjustments.

Updates might involve modifying calorie levels, adjusting macronutrient ratios, or introducing new foods as your preferences evolve. If you experience significant life changes such as increased physical activity, stress levels, or health conditions, more frequent updates may be beneficial. The plan should grow with you, not remain static.

Our approach prioritizes whole foods available in regular supermarkets throughout Sofia. We design plans using accessible, affordable ingredients that you can find in neighborhood stores. Special products or supplements are only recommended when there's a documented nutritional deficiency or specific medical need.

If supplements are suggested, we explain the reasoning and provide options at different price points. The meal plans include budget-conscious alternatives and seasonal produce to help manage costs. Our goal is sustainable nutrition that fits your financial situation, not expensive products that strain your budget.

The first meeting involves a comprehensive assessment of your health status, dietary history, and lifestyle factors. We discuss your medical background, current medications, previous diet attempts, and specific goals. You'll complete a food diary analysis and we'll take basic measurements such as weight and body composition.

We explore your daily routine, cooking skills, food preferences, and any barriers you've encountered with previous nutrition efforts. This information helps us understand your unique situation and design a plan that aligns with your reality. The consultation is conversational and informative, allowing you to ask questions and express concerns about your nutrition journey.

We create plans for various objectives including weight management, athletic performance, diabetes management, cardiovascular health, digestive issues, and general wellness. Each goal requires different nutritional strategies, which our dietitians implement based on current evidence and guidelines.

For weight loss, we focus on sustainable calorie deficits with adequate protein and nutrients. Muscle gain plans emphasize protein timing and energy balance. Health condition management involves specific dietary modifications aligned with medical recommendations. Whatever your objective, the plan is structured to support that particular outcome while maintaining overall health and nutritional adequacy.

We provide tracking tools and methods appropriate for your goals. This may include food journals, weight logs, body measurements, energy level assessments, or symptom tracking for specific health conditions. The tracking method is tailored to be manageable and informative without becoming burdensome.

During follow-up sessions, we review your progress data together, identifying patterns and areas for adjustment. We look at both objective metrics like weight changes and subjective factors such as hunger levels, energy, and overall satisfaction with the plan. This comprehensive tracking approach helps us refine the plan and keeps you accountable while providing valuable feedback on what's working.

Ongoing support is a core part of our service. After receiving your plan, you have access to follow-up consultations scheduled at intervals that match your needs. Between appointments, you can reach out via email with questions about food choices, recipes, or challenges you're experiencing.

We provide educational resources, recipe ideas, and practical tips to help you implement the plan successfully. As you progress, we're available to troubleshoot difficulties, celebrate successes, and make adjustments based on your feedback. This continued support ensures you're never alone in your nutrition journey and have professional guidance whenever you need it.
