Why is this program so effective?

1. 1. Individual Attention from the Start

      A relationship forms with your first visit. An in-depth evaluation is the first step toward your personalized program.  This includes a customized computer generated body composition analysis at the time of your first visit.

   2. Safe & Effective Weight Loss

      Our healthcare team will be able to tell you how much of the weight you are losing is from fat, water or muscle, and adjust your program accordingly.

   3. Realistic & Accurate Expectations

      Using your body composition and other measurements, we can accurately predict the amount of weight you can lose over time.

   4. Personal Support from Your Doctor

      With each visit, you'll learn valuable insights into how you can approach your daily life to maintain the weight loss you are achieving.

Unlike other weight-loss programs, medical weight loss features meals, one-on-one healthcare support, a local facility for follow-up and support, a custom program based on your unique metabolism, prescribed appetite suppressants if necessary, and a record of 99% of patients maintaining their weight loss.*

* Based on a stratified sample of 349 patients over a six-year period on the Center for Medical Weight Loss (CMWL) programs. Patients must have remained on the program for a minimum of 28 days and be monitored with at least two physician visits within first 31 days to be included in the study. A variety of nutritional meal replacements were used. 99% of the patients that followed the CMWL program, including a low calorie diet and individual counseling with CMWL physicians, from one month up to a year, weighed less at their last weigh-in than their starting weight.

The length of time you may stay on any weight loss program depends on which program you are on, how much weight you need to lose and, most importantly, how motivated you are.

What is obesity?
Obesity used to be understood in fairly simple terms: excess body weight resulting from eating too much and exercising too little, due in large part to a lack of willpower or self-restraint. Fortunately for the millions of American adults who are overweight, obesity is now regarded as a chronic medical disease with serious health implications caused by a complex set of factors.

Recognized since 1985 as a chronic disease, obesity is the second leading cause of preventable death, exceeded only by cigarette smoking. Obesity has been established as a major risk factor for hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus and some cancers in both men and women. Obesity affects 58 million people across the nation and its prevalence is increasing. Approximately one-third of adults are estimated to be obese.

Obesity results from a complex interaction of genetic, behavioral and environmental factors causing an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. According to the National Institutes of Health, an increase in body weight of 20 percent or more above desirable weight is the point at which excess weight becomes an established health hazard. Lower levels of excess weight can also constitute a health risk, particularly in the presence of other disorders like diabetes, hypertension and heart disease.
