Formula-based Weight Loss TherapyFormula-based diets provide complete nutrition daily. This therapy includes twelve weeks of active weight loss using a formula-based diet followed by six weeks of transition to self-prepared foods described in a personalized meal plan. Patients participate each week during the comprehensive program to receive on-going medical monitoring and behavior modification to promote long term success. For compliant patients, weekly weight losses average 2 - 5 pounds. Rapid weight loss promotes motivation! IMC Center for Nutrition & Weight Management also offers personalized partial-formula weight loss options. Because lifestyle change is crucial to weight-loss success, this program includes weekly lifestyle education classes and periodic medical monitoring to ensure peak health while losing weight. Once weight loss goals are met, patients transition back to self-prepared meals with the guidance of a Registered Dietitian. Holiday and Summer Weight Loss OptionsMotivation comes to many patients at the "oddest" times. For patients wanting to lose weight through the holidays or prior to summer vacation, we offer holiday and summer programs that promote success through a variety of treatment options. Weight Maintenance ProgramPatients who complete initial therapy qualify for our weight maintenance program. This includes ongoing support in a group setting. For patients who have difficulty maintaining their weight loss, the center offers medication therapy under the supervised treatment of our Medical Director. Medication TherapyOur healthcare practitioners make every effort to help patients develop the skills to manage their weight on their own. However, we recognize that some patients struggle with underlying metabolic and emotional issues and can benefit from medication therapy. Patients utilizing weight loss medications are required to participate in ongoing medical monitoring. |
