Information comes from: smartforlife.com Smart for Life Weight Management Centers™ offers you direct physician care whose only focus is for you to lose weight and get healthier. As a result, our program allows you to benefit from the widest range of treatments available. Every person is different and has unique needs. As a result, each Smart for Life Weight Management client is guided through their customized weight loss program with the expertise of a caring physician and staff. Our program features the use of our unique Smart products – cookies, shakes and soup. The core product in our program is the Smart Cookie which is scientifically formulated to be balanced in fiber, protein and carbohydrates, but low in fat. Our clients lose on average 12 to 15* lbs per month by eating our Smart Cookies and other products in addition to a healthy evening meal. As a physician monitored program (you will see a physician regularly), the health and safety of our clients is our primary concern. As a result, our support services are designed to monitor the overall health of our clients. These support services include performing a Body Composition Analysis, consulting on medical history and performing appropriate lab work as well as an electrocardiogram. As an added feature of our program and included in our fees, our centers supply our clients with the vitamins and supplements they require as part of the program.
METABOLISM TOO SLOW? We have found that one out of four people are unable to lose weight because of an undiagnosed metabolic problem. Our doctors are specifically trained to diagnose these problems and treat them, making weight loss and weight maintenance possible for these clients as well! And to save you time and money, when prescribed, these medications can be dispensed by our clinics, thus eliminating the need to have them filled at a pharmacy. Please note that like the vitamins and supplements, most medications are included in our basic fees. MAINTENANCE BEGINS WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE DOOR! At the first visit, our clients actually begin their Maintenance Phase by using our unique behavioral modification program and learning tools. They also receive instructional guidelines and program materials, which will serve as a reference source for the program. Our center staff will chart your weight each week until you reach your goal weight. Once you reach your goal weight, you will begin the second phase of our program which we prefer to call ‘your new lifestyle’. As already mentioned, this is the most important part of the program and actually begins the first day you start the program. When you reach your goal weight, you will have learned to eat several small meals during the day and eat only when you are hungry, exercise correctly and to drink the right amount of fluids to keep yourself hydrated. We’ll continue to work with you as long as necessary to be sure that you are on the right track to achieve life long weight success; and the training you have done with us will make maintaining your new lifestyle automatic. |
