WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

At JMC our mission is to provide comprehensive care for those who desire to manage their weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. By integrating FDA-approved medications with a healthy diet and a moderate amount of exercise, we meet your target weight as quickly and safely as possible. Our goal is to improve your overall physical and mental health by reducing your risk of hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other illnesses associated with obesity. During all phases of the program a physician is always available in the office to consult with patients.

PHASE I – Rapid Weight Loss Phase
We strive to attain the best results as rapidly and safely as possible. For this reason, patients are required to have a weekly visit and are closely monitored. We offer a variety of different plans. We utilize the Medifast diet plan with prepared meal replacements, the Zone Diet, and other diet plans. We offer FDA approved weight loss medications in addition to the above as indicated medically. Based on the physical fitness of the individual an exercise regimen will be established. Patients will also receive nutritional support with a weekly supplement injection.

Initial assessment includes:

• Medical consultation
• Physical Exam
• Weight and body composition analysis
• Blood pressure
• Lab test if indicated
• EKG (electrocardiogram)
• Medications and supplements (if indicated)

Weekly Visits:

• Weight Measurements
• Brief medical assessment
• Medications dispensed (if indicated)
• Weekly injection of vitamins and fat burning amino acids

PHASE II – Transition Phase
Once you have reached your goal weight, we advise a 4 to 6 week period during which time any prescription medication for weight loss is slowly tapered down. During the maintenance phase, the major focus will be learning healthy eating habits. The program menu also changes beginning with an increase in portions and leading up to the maintenance phase.

PHASE III – Maintenance Phase
After completing the transition phase, you will continue to the Medifast maintenance diet or be introduced to the Zone Diet, created by Dr. Barry Sears MD. Many other programs fail because after patients complete their weight loss, they revert back to their previous lifestyle and eating habits. The quality and quantity of the food you eat determine 80% of your weight management. Exercise levels determine the other 20% of your weight management. We encourage you to begin exercising, according to your personal level of ability early in the diet program.
