Frequently Asked Questions

How is One Life different from other diets?

We teach you how to lose weight while living your normal life—going out, socializing, traveling—so weight loss becomes permanent, not temporary.

What food can I eat?

All real food is allowed. We teach you how to eat the foods you love in a way that supports weight loss.

What foods are not allowed?

None. Everything is permitted, as long as it works within your plan.

Is alcohol allowed?

Yes. You can have a glass of wine—as long as it fits within your daily Blocks.

Do I need a membership or contract?

No. We don’t lock you into contracts—you simply pay per visit until you reach your goal.

Who is the typical patient?

Our clients range from age 18–80 and those with 10 to 100+ pounds to lose. Real people, real results.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Most people shed 4–6 pounds the first week, then 2–5 pounds per week, depending on adherence and starting weight.

Is fast weight loss risky?

Not if you’re building new lifestyle habits. In fact, faster weight loss in a structured program often leads to better long-term success.

Does One Life really work?

Absolutely. Don’t just take our word for it—see our patient success stories online.

Why not lose weight on my own?

It’s like hiring a personal trainer to get fit—expert guidance, tailored nutrition, and accountability work. Weight loss without support has a 95% failure rate.

Can a personal trainer help me lose weight?

Fitness experts aren’t always weight-loss experts. Exercise helps health—but weight loss happens primarily through hunger control and nutrition.

Should I just eat less and exercise more?

Sound advice on paper—but if you're always hungry, it’s impossible. One Life teaches real hunger control strategies that actually work.

Do I need to exercise a lot?

Exercise is great for health—but it’s a minor part of weight loss. You can still succeed, even with minimal exercise.

Can I lose weight while dining out or having a social lifestyle?

Yes. The only way to keep weight off is by learning to eat well while living your normal life.

Can One Life work for vegetarians, frequent travelers, or entertainers?

Absolutely. Your plan is tailored to your lifestyle—whether you’re vegan, busy entertaining clients, or travel often.

Why is eating healthy not working for me?

“Healthy” doesn’t always mean low-calorie. Foods like olive oil, nuts, or salmon are nutritious—but calorie dense. The key is managing hunger, not dodging healthy foods.

What about slow metabolism or caloric restriction?

Metabolism isn’t your main obstacle. It’s choosing foods based on how they impact your hunger and hormones—not just calorie count.

What if people notice I’m on a diet?

Since you’re eating real food and living your real life, most people won’t notice—and you don’t have to feel like you’re dieting.

How do I pick a goal weight?

There’s no perfect goal weight—just one where you feel healthy, confident, and happy.

How many counselors are on staff?

Each location has two counselors. We keep it small so your team knows you personally.

What happens at weekly visits?

You’ll meet one-on-one with your counselor, review your week, learn key tools, get weighed, and receive your vitamin/metabolism injection.

What’s in your vitamin injection?

B12: Energy + focus

B-Complex: Mood + stress support

Methionine + Inositol + Choline: Metabolism boost
