The Healthy Lifestyles Program is based on recommendations for treating overweight and obesity made by the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control, National Heart, Blood and Lung Institute, and the American Diabetic Associateion.  Foods have been chosen based on their being low in glycemic load, and high in satiety.  These dietary principles are proven to help improve health, and specifically diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and we see these effects on patients in our clinic as our patients lower their medication doses (and sometimes eliminate the need for medication) and are able to lead more active lifestyles.  In addition, they report having higher energy levels, more clear thinking, and improved mood. 

This program is taylored to your individual goals, medical concerns, health history, and metabolism.  On average, following our guidelines, patients lose up to 10 pounds a month while eating regular food, without feeling hungry.  Balanced meal replacements are available for those who choose them, that contain the optimal combination of protein, carbohydrates, fat, and dietary supplements to satisfy your hunger while helping you to correct diabetes, central obesity, and metabolic syndrome.  We have had overweight diabetic patients lower their insulin requirement from 70 or more units per day to 10 units or less on this excellent program. 

Our weight loss programs incorporate targeted behavioral modification strategies, and end with a transition to higher calorie intake of healthy food so that our patients can have the best success at long term weight loss.

This program costs $175 to start, and $30 per week.  The fees include your medical exam by our medical director, basic blood work, a B12 shot, and weight loss vitamins.   Prescription and non-prescription appetite suppressants and other dietary supplements are also available.  Physician approval is required for all prescription medication.

Again, act now.  The most difficult step, is deciding to get started.  Remember, you have nothing to lose but weight.
