This is divided into two phases: 

Phase I :Weight Reduction 

During your first visit to the, clinic and every subsequent visit our friendly trained staff will welcome you.  You will then have your weight and body fat analyzed. This is done with the help of a computerized scale, which prints out your vital information for the doctor. Also' labs, EKG etc are done if you have not had one done in recent times.Based on your discussion with the doctor and the results of your body fat analysis, the doctor puts you on a program, which involves the use of various medications, a diet prescription, life, style modification I and exercise. 

• The Medications: There are various medications including some natural products, which are used to help you achieve your ideal body weight.

Phase II : Weight Maintenance

Most people ask me "Doctor, after I lose all this weight, how do I keep it off?" This is what the weight maintenance phase is all about. During this phase, we help you maintain your hard earned new weight. First, we wean you off the medications gradually. Instead of weekly of biweekly appointments, you are now given monthly or bi-monthly appointments. You may still be given some medications to take, but these will either be given at a lesser dose or increased intervals. Secondly, weight maintenance and motivation classes are run where clients motivate and encourage each other. Discussions are also held on how they all manage to keep the weight off. Some of which are the following: 1. Newly acquired lifestyle/eating behavior2. Routine exercise/work out3. Diet prescription4. Occasional visit to the weight loss Doctor for what I call a tune-up. 

If patients keep to the above plans their chances of loosing those unwanted pounds and keeping them off is guara
