Medically supervised weight loss programs have proven to be remarkably successful for people interested in Quick Weight Loss. Medical weight loss programs are not stereotypical “diets”; they are carefully-supervised rapid weight loss programs overseen by qualified medical professionals. They use the latest advances in technology to achieve rapid weight loss in a clinical environment. The highest priority is given to safe and effective weight loss under the watchful eyes of medical specialists.
Most rapid weight loss programs are broken into two phases. In the first phase, the patient will be thoroughly tested and a complete body composition analysis will be performed. If everything checks out, the program proceeds and the patient will receive weekly lipotropic injections and appetite suppression medications as well as performing an exercise regimen. Phase two then focuses on keeping the weight off with a detailed maintenance program.
Evaluation
A full evaluation is performed on anyone interested in medical weight loss. A detailed analysis of the patient’s medical history is performed. This is followed by a body composition analysis (BCA). This process will provide information about a person’s metabolism and body fat percentage. These results are then analyzed by a licensed weight loss expert and a consultation with the patient takes place where everything is explained and what type of results can be expected. A detailed process plan is then designed that’s personalized to each patient’s needs and requirements.
Treatment
During the treatment period, each patient will usually work with medical clinician, a nutritionist, and weight loss adviser. Lipotropic injections are administered each week. These injections dissolve fatty substances in areas of the body that are most resistant to more standard treatments like diet and exercise. The injections are usually combined with appetite control medication and an on-site exercise program to yield the best possible results. Substantial weight loss should result from the treatment phase.
Weight Management
After the goal weight has been achieved, emphasis is then placed on the maintenance phase. Emphasis is placed upon healthy eating, a customized exercise program and behavioral modification to keep the pounds off. If any fatty deposits still exist after the treatment phase, the patient can choose to undergo laser liposuction to eliminate hard-to-remove fatty deposits.
