How the Online Consultations works?
To get started, we'll deliver the body composition scales to your home before your appointment so you and your doctor can understand your individual biometrics (body fat, visceral fat, and muscle mass, biological age) and your basal metabolic rate (the number of calories your body burns at rest).
Your body composition results will enable the Doctor to recommend a calorie intake per day for the Doctor prescribed weight loss meals that will help accelerate your results.
Telehealth consultations work the exact same as a face-to-face consultation. With the scales with you, you and your doctor will be able to understand your body composition, and talk confidentially about your individual results and goals. If your doctor prescribes you a medication, we can send your e-script to your email or via SMS.
PLEASE NOTE: You will only be eligible for a Medicare rebate for your Telehealth appointments, if you have had a face-to-face appointment with us in the last 12 months (as stipulated by the Australian Government). If not, you will be out of pocket our full fees.

How long should I be on the Doctor's prescribed weight loss meal program?
Depending on your weight loss and health goals depends on how long you want to continue on the program. We generally recommend the Doctor's prescribed weight loss meal program for 6 weeks. From the very first week you start putting into practice what you have been seeing, eating and living for 2 days a week to help make your changes permanent. This has significantly contributed to the success for our patients losing the fat and keeping it off long term.
How many Doctor's consultations will there be on the 6 week program?
There are 3 Doctor's consultations. The initial consultation with the Doctor and then there will be the second consultation - which is 3 weeks after you have started the meals and the final consultation which will be at 6 weeks after you first started the meals.

Your transformation starts at your first check in with your Doctor! At your first consult, the Doctor will:
- discuss your results from the body composition scales to help you understand your overall health (including weight, body fat %, body water %, muscle mass (kg), basal metabolic rate (BMR) (cal per day at rest), biological age, visceral fat rating, bone mass, and BMI)
- provide an initial health assessment and risk factors for chronic disease
- discuss how the Program will support your health and weight goals and any current chronic condition or health condition that you may have and how you are currently addressing with your treating GP, and the benefits of preventing these conditions from developing further

How many meals will I receive on the Program?
You will receive calorie-controlled meals for 5 days out of 7 to help you achieve your health and weight goals for 6 weeks. Following your first Doctor’s consultation, you need to place your meal order with Lite n’ Easy and enter in the discount code TDK20%.
Can I swap out some of the meals on the Program?
As your meals are personalised to meet certain calorie requirements based on your Doctor's prescription, it is not recommended to swap out meals from the set menus through Lite n’ Easy as this will alter the calorie count. Our dedicated partner, Lite n’ Easy, have over 250+ delicious meals to make your journey a wholesome and flavoursome one! If you have special dietary requirements, i.e., vegetarian this should be discussed with Lite n' Easy before you place your first order with them.
