We employ a variety of strategies in addition to medications
to help you achieve your goals.

1. Fasting

Time restricted eating plans include different forms of intermittent fasting and alternate day fasting. Fasting combined with carbohydrate restriction or a balanced Mediterranean diet can aid in increased weight loss.
Potential benefits:

  • Reduce body fat as you are burning fat for energy
  • Reduce hunger to stop overeating
  • Improve metabolic parameters
    • – Increases insulin sensitivity
    • – Reduces blood pressure
    • – Lowers cholesterol
    • – Decreases inflammatory markers

2. Meal Replacements

When preferred by the patient, we use meal replacement products. We have chosen to use meal supplement products that have been specifically designed for weight loss and have proven themselves over time with our patients. The bars and shakes provide the needed nutrients and lower calorie, high protein solutions that many people need while being very convenient. After much evaluation from our patients we believe we have found the right blend of taste and flavor in a protein supplement which is among the best in the industry.

3. Fasting Mimicking

We also partner with Prolon which offers a 5-day fasting mimicking program and 1-day reset, along with fast bars. If you are interested, check them out at https://prolonfast.com. We can discuss special pricing for their products at one of your visits with us.

To enhance our strategies, we offer the following eating patterns. We will work with you to choose the one that meets your needs and you are most comfortable with.
