We
recognize that the cause of obesity of often multifactorial
and as such, is not always just a matter of self-control or
calorie intake. We employ a multidisciplinary team of professionals
to assess a patient's particular needs, support their efforts
and help solve their problem forever.
Our
team will customize a weight-loss plan that includes both
nutritional and fitness components. Unlike other commercial
weight-loss programs, ours will always ensure effectiveness,
security and the ever-important protection of muscle mass.
We help patients assess their "Mental Weight", a
measure of one's readiness to change and blocks to effective
weight control. Using the "Slim from Within" program,
with its 12 minutes per day of positive programming, patients
will be able to change their behaviour towards food.
In
development of customized programming, our patients will proceed
through medical and nutritional assessments, body composition
and fitness evaluations.
All
will also be offered the opportunity to participate, along
with thousands of other patients, in an international scientific
research study that monitors hypertension, cholesterol, blood
sugar and weight. Patients may consult their individual files
through a secure site to see the measurable benefits weight-loss
has on their health.
Repetition and motivation can help guarantee success. Our
studies confirm that an impressive 82% of our patients maintain
their weight after four years with our current maintenance
program, far higher than the North American average.
