All too often, a primary contributing factor in back pain and many other health issues is excess weight. We understand there are many elements leading to weight problems and are sensitive to the many dilemmas you might face. You see, our bodies are genetically designed to store energy for “caloric emergencies.” The trouble is, in 21^st century United States, we simply do not have caloric emergencies. Cheap, calorie dense, nutrient poor, econo-sized, ready to eat, microwaved, food in a box or bag has become the norm. Herein lays a significant problem.

  For this reason, our Clinic now provides a scientifically engineered, medically supervised weight management protocol for our patients in a safe and supportive environment. Our goal is simple: Empower you to reach your highest health goals and maintain your maximum well-being for life.

We know the market is flooded with feeble weight loss hype, expensive gym memberships and “bound-to-fail” gimmicks.  That’s why our staff of doctors and coaches will address your individual needs through a comprehensive consultation and initial assessment. If your situation is one of many we have had success with, we will lay out a program for you to choose.

Your individualized program begins on your first visit with a body composition analysis, sophisticated weigh-in with % body fat calculation and other vital measurements.  This information is combined with your health profile and personal goals to develop the best possible program for your success.

 

 

 The Program

   

The Ideal You weight loss program is an FDA approved medical protocol.  The protocol consists of over 50 great tasting, gourmet protein foods. The protocol is simple; eliminate carbohydrate / sugar stores and the body must burn fat for energy. This is done by reducing calorie dense, nutrient poor carbohydrate foods with highly nutritious, bio-available protein isolates and amino acids. The protocol is quick, easy and most importantly, healthy. You eat real food!

     

In the body, carbohydrates are immediately converted to sugar causing the pancreas to make insulin. Insulin can be considered the master hormone in charge of doing one thing very well… Depositing fat. Give the pancreas a chance to rest, reduce the insulin pool, and weight falls off.

       

Our Fantastic Food

Most serious weight loss patients are started on the “Fast Track”

Phase 1: The Foundation

The Foundation is core of the program. Patients begin to learn which grocery foods will help achieve their weight goals while maintaining the program’s protein-fortified protocol. The Foundation is followed until patients reach 90% of their goal and gently re-educates patients how to eat appropriately for a lifetime of healthy weight

 

 

Phase 1: Fast Track Option

The Fast Track is the most popular and successful weight loss program lasting only three weeks. During this initial period, most patients can expect to shed 9-15 lbs. After the second week, Fast Trackers typically report a noticeable increase in energy, begin to understand the importance of frequent, small meals and really begin to experience noticeable weight loss results.

 

Phase 2: The Approach

Patients are very near their Ideal weight. They have lost the craving for high carb foods and learn how to better shop for groceries. During this phase, patients begin to reintroduce meals of their choosing for a minimum of 2 weeks and until the goal weight is reached predetermined by you. 

 

 

Phase 3:  Reintroduction

During this critical 14 day period, patients begin to reintroduce healthy carbohydrates and fats. Congratulations! You’ve done it!

 

 

Phase 4:  Maintenance

The truth is, our weight does fluctuate. Life happens! Getting control of these fluctuations early is critical for long term weight management.  Those patients in need of “a little help,” simply return to the protocol for a few days.
