Proceed with males reading pages 15-21 and females reading pages 21-28 to ensures an understanding of the meal plans. Follow up with explaining page 29 the Approved Substitutes List. This is all that needs to be covered on this list for the first visit. Week 4 is when the patients will come in for individual clinic visits unless you are seeing the patient weekly on the program. Week 4 is a very important week and blood sugar levels can be tested along with the patients’ weight, BMI, body fat percentage and any other markers you wish to communicate to the patient to ensure if there is additional weight loss or blood sugar work to be done that they continue with the plan. Cover the Intake Questionnaire and the Action Plan on page 40 of the U-Lite manual with the patient on week 4 to ensure they understand where they need additional support. For patients who are not being seen weekly, have them fax in their food diaries with their weight written at the top of the form. This allows you to communicate with those who are struggling before the four weeks are up. How do the U-LITE foods differ from the Ultra Lite Foods? Patients eat according to a meal plan but the foods are the same. There is 7 breakfasts, lunches and dinners to choose from and they are broken down by gender. The “formula” of proteins and carbohydrates is broken down into these meal plans making it easy to explain to groups what to eat each day. What if the patient/client is having a hard time with the vinegar taste and smell? Have them use the U-Lite mayonnaise recipe, cucumber recipe, creamy cottage cheese dressing, or Caesar’s dressing in their patient book. If you use a plain packet in a recipe do you decrease your 4 daily packets? Yes, and take only 3 more that day. What if a patient/client has Epilepsy? Chromium 200 mcg 3 X’s a day to be given on the first visit as per direction in the U-Lite Training session ;if they have a seizure end the program immediately. What if a patient/client is: Pregnant? Pregnant patients/clients cannot go on the U-Lite Program. Breastfeeding? Yes but milk could diminish; wait till the patient/client is weaning the baby. What if a patient/client has Diabetes? Give the patient/client chromium on the first visit. Chromium 200 mcg 3X’s a day as recommended in the U-Lite training session. Diabetic TYPE1-chromium, but exclude high glycemic foods and include low glycemic (greens, proteins) foods. Only use U-Lite on Type 1 Diabetics who will really follow the program or it will not work. For example, if they are not willing to give up sugary snacks, soda, caffeine, etc, it will not work. What if a patient/client is Hypo-glycemic and getting headaches and weakness? Give chromium 200 mcg 3X’s per day. Make sure they are eating their three square meals a day and spacing out their packs in between meals. What if a patient/client has Leg cramps? If the patient/client states, “every time I go on a diet I get leg cramps”: Give more salt (salt approved for program, see patient manual), magnesium phosphate, calcium phosphate, or iron phosphate. What if a patient/client is Vomiting on the Program? Not enough enzymes to break down the amino acids in the packets, (about 1 in 60 people) due to possible digestive disorder. Bring down to ½ packets mixed in food. Offer digestive enzyme supplement. Slowly work them up to 4 packs. If this persists, change to plain packs added in food, continuing with the digestive enzymes, taking two packs a day and slowly working them up to four packs per day. What if a patient/client is calling about the program stating they are vomiting after they take the oil? There is a possible Gallbladder Issue: Determine if it is a gallbladder problem. Assist gallbladder with protocol you feel is best to get back to optimal health. Eliminate oil for that day. Cut oil to ½ portion size the following day and work back up to four teaspoons a day. Ensure they are taking oil later in the day and use the U-Lite mayo recipe. What if a patient wants other proteins such as buffalo or deer? 60 Grams of buffalo = 1 portion of protein *yields approximately 23 grams of actual protein 60 Grams of deer = 1 portion of protein *yields approximately 23 grams of actual protein What if a patient/client is Hungry on the Program? They are not in ketosis. SEE KETONE GUIDE What if a patient/client has Bad Breath? If patient/client states, “every time I go on a diet I get bad breath”, have them chew on parsley. Add digestive enzymes to support digestion. High Blood Pressure Patients on Medication: For patients on high blood pressure medication, take a weekly blood pressure reading. It is important to have the patient go back to their medical doctor if that is not you, and have their medication adjusted on time, otherwise their blood pressure could go too low. Keep a copy of their readings for yourself and of course have them bring a copy to their primary doctor. For every 10% of body fat lost the blood pressure will reduce approximately 7.7 mm’s. It won’t be as dramatic if genetic. High Cholesterol Patients on Medication: Every four weeks on the U-Lite Program have the patient tested to see if they are able to have cholesterol medication reduced. What if a patient/client has had Surgery? If client/patient has had surgery in the last six months, wait a complete six months before starting the U - Lite program. What if a patient/client is getting Headaches while on U-Lite? If the headache is in the brow or temples area this means possible low blood sugar. Have them drink a small glass of orange juice or have an U-Lite pack and ask them to call you back in a half hour to see if this alleviated the symptoms. If so, then have them start on chromium 200 mcg 3X’s per day as soon as possible. Other: What if a patient/client is a Coffee Drinker? Coffee can affect sugar levels. Switch to decaf. If headache is in back of head have patient/client sip slowly ¼ cup coffee mixed with ¼ cup water to ease headache. Is there any age limit? Ten years and up use women’s food portions for children. It is really an issue of compliance with children. What are the 6 Points of Measurement for the U- Lite Patient? Use the suggested parts below for measurement. Record this information on the patient measurement chart: 1. -neck, by Adams apple 2. -6” down from the top of the shoulder (middle of the arm) 3. -at the bust line, at the bottom of the scapula 4. -the waist at the top of the hipbones or at the belly button 5. -the hips, 6” down from the belly button 4. -the thighs, both legs together 6” up from the top of the knee cap Record the weight on the patients/clients measurement chart This form gets stapled to the blue visit card, the application and eventually the food diaries.
