How Ready Steps works
For the first stretch of the program, some of your meals are Bariatrix Metabolic Reset Meals and snacks — portioned, ready to eat, nothing to weigh or calculate. They are a bridge, not a lifestyle. While they carry you, you learn what a balanced plate looks like, and then you move back to whole meals with Dr. Wood watching how your body responds.
What is included
- Medical supervision by Dr. Wood, with visits on a set schedule
- Metabolic Reset Meals and power-up snacks
- Education modules that explain why each step comes when it does
- Resources and recipes for the move back to cooking
- A Ready Steps Starter Package to begin, then a Monthly Support Package
What you can drink
Water, sparkling water, black coffee and tea are all fine. Sugar-free drinks are allowed in moderation. Cream, sugar and juice count as food, so ask before adding them back.
Exercise can wait
The early weeks are about the meals and how you feel on them. Activity comes in once you have settled into the routine and Dr. Wood agrees it is time — her guide to starting to move again is the place to begin.
Ready Steps or medical weight management?
Both are led by Dr. Wood. Medical weight management builds a plan from your labs and may include medication; Ready Steps gives you structure through meal replacement. You choose together at your first visit, based on your history and what you have already tried. Package pricing is given at that visit.
