Weight Management
Weight Loss, Not a Diet... ...it's a Total Lifestyle!
When we refer to “diets” we are not talking about some overnight fad or newest craze. Our health team approach will look at your lifestyle as a whole. We know that fad diets can never show anyone lasting results. In fact ON and Off dieting – research suggests that the more times a person restricts calorie intake, the more easily they will regain lost weight and the harder it will be to lose weight the next time the person diets. Regained lost weight results in more fat and less lean body mass. The 1st -2nd month of any calorie diet change will slow the body’s metabolism – BAD!, where our body thinks it is hibernating, after consistent change and daily exercise approximately 6-8 weeks your Basal Metabolic Rate will begin to increase slowly and safely thus starting the positive weight loss results. Disruption in this process results in weight gain and more difficult to initiate the long term positive results.
The most important concept to take away form this is to focus on the process, it takes years to increase your metabolism – This is a lifelong healthy LIFESTYLE modification that requires years of regular consistent focus on proper dietary routines and choices, supplements and focus on daily exercise and fitness not fatness. Your focus should NOT be on the product – weight loss because in order to attain a healthy life long change requires a safe, slow, progressive weight loss and increase body composition of muscle gain and toning.
A temporary modification in eating habits can only produce temporary results. Our goal is to assist you in changing the way you perceive food. You should eat to live not live to eat. Only by changing your perspective of food can you produce a long-term change in your eating behavior.

The Support You Need to Succeed
In truth, most doctors don’t have the time, skills, or resources to provide you with effective lifestyle counseling. And so their patients—even those at high risk of disease—are often left to "figure it out" by themselves.
Your program will be designed and administered by one of our doctors. This is not a weight reduction program—it’s a disease reduction program. While weight loss often occurs, it’s only secondary to the primary goal helping you achieve and maintain a healthy body composition (lean-muscle-to-fat ratio) to improve health, manage disease, feel better, and reduce your risk to more serious conditions.
Everyone knows that eating right and staying in shape are important for overall health. But life’s everyday pressures—hectic schedules, work deadlines, family issues, etc.—can make it difficult to find the time for good nutrition, exercise, and adequate rest. Let us help you stay focused and find an efficient way to manage your GOALs and succeeded over time by making the appropriate steps to RESULTS.
