ver the last 20-plus years our clinic has
helped thousands of patients lose
thousands of pounds. During that time
we have seen many fad diet approaches come
and go. Everything from high carbohydrate,
fat free, low-carb and high protein, to diet pills,
shots, and lipolasers. The question is: What
really works? Our extensive clinical experience
and expertise tell us moderation – not
deprivation – gets the job done. Our approach
consists of three equally important phases: weight
loss, stabilization and maintenance.
During the weight loss phase of the program, we
determine a realistic goal weight and timeframe to
achieve that goal. This initial phase focuses on two critical
components. First, we establish ground rules for a patient’s
eating habits and, second, we teach nutrition. We don’t have
the patient counting calories, using confusing exchanges, or
tracking points to lose the weight. We have found that approach to
be a short-term solution to a long-term problem. With our system, the
patient undergoes laboratory evaluation, body composition testing and
extensive medical and diet histories, then that data is used to design
a comprehensive customized plan that enables patients to lose 3-5
pounds per week without feeling hungry. All the food selections are
store-bought and restaurant foods. We have created and trademarked
our custom weight loss formulas, which have all the vitamins and
minerals needed to complete RDAs as well as all the vital nutrients
that promote weight loss. We use a bariatric protein supplement that
protects the patient’s muscle and enhances the patient’s weight loss.
During the stabilization phase of the program, we slowly reintroduce
all the restricted foods back into the patient’s diet. By the end of the
stabilization process the patients are able to choose from any food
available. They learn how their bodies react to certain foods and which
foods should be limited.
The final and most important phase is the maintenance portion of
the program. We address obesity or being overweight like any other
chronic disease process. Keeping the weight off requires long-term
management. If you are a diabetic and take insulin to correct your
sugar levels to an acceptable level, it does not mean you’re no longer
a diabetic. It means you are managing your disease. If you stop taking
insulin, your sugar levels go back up. Losing weight is very similar. Just
