We offer several different diet plans that are convenient and palatable so that you don’t have to sacrifice flavor for health. Meal plans vary from gentle weight loss diets to more aggressive plans.
PHASE 1 - RAPID WEIGHT LOSS (6-12 WEEKS)
Phase I requires weekly medical monitoring for weigh-in, goal counseling, and Lipotropic injections. We provide a one-time group meeting with a physician that is essential to your success.
Weekly individual meetings involve nutritional consultants to help educate you on managing your weight. This group offers a safe environment to express your thoughts, feelings, concerns, and fears.
PHASE 2 - GRADUAL WEIGHT LOSS
(3-12 MONTHS)
In Phase II, or gradual weight loss, you will apply the information learned in Phase I, and with weekly appointments, you'll gradually begin adding more variety to your diet. Typically during this phase, women lose 1-3 lbs a week while men lose 3-5 lbs weekly. You can lose up to 10 lbs in one month!
This phase also requires weekly medical monitoring and attendance in weekly appointments. Behavioral educators will monitor your food journal and help you transition to a healthier lifestyle.
PHASE 3 - MAINTENANCE
(12 MONTHS AND BEYOND)
Our maintenance program begins when your goal weight, BMI, and comfort are reached. During this phase, patients will use the skills they have learned in Phase I and Phase II while enjoying aspects of life, including birthdays, holidays, weddings, sadness, and joy. Behaviors are learned, hence must be practiced repeatedly to become a part of daily life.
Therefore, 12 to 18 months is essential to create long-term behavioral changes to make sure you keep the weight off. Behavioral education is essential during this phase to focus on special issues. Patients can share their challenges and triumphs as they become accountable to themselves.
