Welcome to IMC Center for Nutrition & Weight ManagementIMC Center for Nutrition & Weight Management takes a comprehensive approach to treating individuals who are overweight or obese. Our weight management services offer options for anyone with excess weight to lose, whether you are trying to lose 10 pounds, 100 pounds or more. There are many, many weight loss options available to the public but IMC Center for Nutrition & Weight Management is different. WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT? RAPID WEIGHT LOSS - For compliant patients, weekly weight losses average 2 -5 pounds. Rapid weight loss promotes motivation!!! MEDICAL TEAM APPROACH - Our multidisciplinary team includes physicians, nurses, nurse practioners, registered dietitians, and psychologists. COMPLETE NUTRITION - The formula-based diet provides high-quality protein, carbohydrates and essential fatty-acids in addition to the RDI for vitamins and minerals. STIMULI NARROWING - Utilizing a formula based diet allows the patient to "take a break" from food, promoting focus on eating behaviors. SUDDEN, POSITIVE IMPACT ON HEALTH - Because most patients have weight driven diseases such as hypertension or diabetes, compliance to the program will drastically reduce the seriousness of these diseases in individual patients. FOOD CAN BE YOUR FRIEND - Many patients have viewed food as "the enemy". Our program focuses on helping the patient be comfortable and in control with their relationship with food.
Laws of Behavioral ChangeLaw 1: The harder you try to do something - the harder it becomes. Law 2: Never take something away without putting something in its place. Law 3: Wherever the mind goes - the body follows. It is not the other way around.
