MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS CLINIC®
is proud to introduce a revolutionary weight loss program
that could promise permanent results for patients. It
challenges conventional wisdom about weight loss and
views excessive weight as a medical condition requiring
medical attention. This program has been researched since
1990 and involves the use of FDA approved medications.
They are fully endorsed medications. Most people have
little or no side effects. They are not amphetamines and
are nonaddictive. They actually enhance the body's
natural inclination to be thin and healthy.
Recent statistics from the Center for Disease Control and
Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics
indicate that 33 percent of American adults are
overweight or obese, up 25% since 1980. Telling an
individual to eat less when they are overweight is
equivalent to telling a person with asthma to stop
wheezing. And, just as a diabetic or hypertensive person
can't be expected to control his or her disease without a
suitable diet and medical program, neither should an
overweight person.
We have designed this program for the patient who has
developed a subconscious food obsession and who has been
unsuccessful at achieving and maintaining an ideal body
weight with the efforts of our original program. It is
essential that the patient understand that the
prescription therapy program will be administered as a
whole, not just as a drug therapy program. It has three
vital components:
•Counseling, which is the underlying success factor
•Moderate exercise
•Prescription therapy
One-on-one visits three times per week, nutritional
counseling, and the accountability factor make our high
quality service and care a top priority.
The second component of this program is moderate
exercise. It is a well known fact that the higher
percentage of muscle, the quicker the metabolic rate. We
will be encouraging our patients, through the Lite
Exercise Guide to engage in some form of light exercise.
The final component is the medication which is combined
with the concern and follow-up of our committed
physicians.
