I've tried diets before but always failed. Why should I try your program?
One of the best reasons to join our program would be a history of unsuccessful dieting. There's an element of truth to the old saying "Diets Don't Work". Our program is based on lasting lifestyle change, not restrictions. Other reasons why individuals join our program include medical complications requiring weight loss, physical activity limitations and a desire to implement lifelong lifestyle changes to maintain a healthy weight.
Is the program suitable for diabetics?
This program is ideal for both diabetics and prediabetics (those who sugar levels are starting to inch up). Because our meal plans contain moderate protein and reduced carbohydrates, many diabetics find they can reduce their medication requirements.
Is your program guaranteed?
The success of any medical weight management program will depend on your compliance. We can provide the tools, education, and emotional support for weight loss, but ultimately the results are under your control. But that's what our program is all about - providing you with the knowledge to achieve your goals and the motivation to get there.
Is the program safe for those with heart or blood pressure problems?
Because it lowers blood pressure, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol while raising HDL (the good cholesterol), it's an ideal approach to reducing heart attack risk. The program is directly focused on Metabolic Syndrome management.
How will I know if I am making progress?
All participants must first have a medical assessment that focuses on your future disease risk, not just on what you weigh. Once your Risk Factor Profile is established, you'll be monitored weekly and at the end of twelve weeks, have a complete reassessment to accurately measure your progress.
Can I eat regular foods?
Depending on your lifestyle, our dietitians can create meal plans that incorporate meal replacement shakes and bars in addition to conventional foods. Meal plans are individually designed for your specific needs and preferences.
Am I a candidate?
The typical person who enrolls in our weight management program fits into one or more of the following categories:
# Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 and above
# BMI of 25 and above with medical problems such as diabetes, hypertension, or coronary disease
# Elevated blood lipids such as cholesterol and triglycerides, or low HDL.
# A history of unsuccessful dieting.
# Needs structured treatment program.
