Physician Monitored Weight Loss Program

Introduction
Obesity is not just a cosmetic problem. It is a health hazard. Obesity has been linked to several serious medical conditions, including:

• Hypertension
• Non-insulin Dependent Diabetes
• Gallbladder disease
• Renal Failure
• Stroke
• Heart Failure
• Atherosclerosis
• Cancer

Even a modest weight loss of 10-20 pounds can bring significant health improvements, such as lowering one?s blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
 
Choosing the best weight loss diet can be very difficult. There are so many weight loss fads out there that do not give you the results they promise. Many people are very dedicated to their routine of regular exercise and watching what they eat, but still are unable to lose the weight they desire.
 
We have a physician monitored  metabolic weight loss program that when combined with a low calorie diet can create a potent and effective weight loss solution. Our program utilizes a transdermal Bio-identical hormone cream supplement that helps our patients be able to be successful in maintaining  a low calorie diet without feeling weak and hungry. 

Please contact our office for a complimentary consultation to further learn more about our physician monitored weight loss program.

Vitamin B12 and Lipotropics

In order for a body to be healthy while losing weight, we sometimes need more than just a good diet and exercise, therefore, we provide weekly injections of Vitamin B12 with Lipotropics along with the hCG Diet Program to increase energy and help you lose more weight.
 
Lipotropic agents are amino acids that are essential in the health of your liver and play an important role in your body’s use of fat. Through their involvement in fat metabolism, lipotropics help maintain a healthy liver. Vitamin B12 gives you a huge energy boost which helps you to burn calories.
 
The vitamin B12 and Lipotropic cocktail are compounds that enhance liver function and increase the flow of fats and bile from the liver and gallbladder. By definition, a lipotropic substance decreases the deposit, or speeds up the removal of fat within the liver. The key vitamin and amino acids used to make these shots are:

• Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 is essential for helping to form new cells in the body. It helps boost energy and increase activity levels.
• Choline: Choline supports the health of the liver in its processing and excretion of chemical waste products within the body. It is required by your body for the transport and metabolism of fats and cholesterol within the body.
• Methionine: Methionine acts as a lipotropic agent to prevent excess fat buildup in the liver and the body and is helpful in relieving or preventing fatique.
• Inositol: Inositol aids in the metabolism of fats and helps reduce blood cholesterol. It also participates in the action of serotonin, a neurotransmitter known to control mood and appetite.

Metabolism Measurement

Genetics will initially determine the amount of calories needed each day for weight maintenance termed Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). Everyone has their own unique BMR. As we age, our BMR will decrease, although an effective eating strategy can increase BMR.
 
For our maintenance program after you have met your goal weight, we will use the MedGem metabolic measurement device to determine your individual BMR, therefore establish an accurate calorie budget specifically for you so you can successfully keep your weight off or lose further weight. An accurate daily calorie target provides the single best piece of information available to maintain your weight. It allows you to customize your meal/diet plan to be more effective when it is based on your body?s unique characteristics.
 
What you should know
The day of your measurement appointment:

• Do not eat or drink anything other than water for at least 4 hours prior to the measurement.
• Do not exercise (aerobic or strength training) for at least 4 hours prior to the measurement.
• Do not consume caffeine, nutritional supplements, or medications containing ephedra, Ma Huang, or pseudoephedrine for at least 4 hours prior to the measurement.
• Do not smoke or use nicotine for at least 1 hour prior to the measurement.
• Sit quietly for 10-15 minutes prior to measurement.

An accurate measurement of your metabolism will enable you to personalize your health and wellness program, and tailor your plan to your body's unique needs.
 
Consuming 300 calories a day beyond your requirements can result in a weight gain of 30 lbs a year. We will utilize this metabolic measurement after your physician monitored weight loss program in order to help you maintain the weight loss that you worked hard to achieve.
