What can this program do for me?
Dr. Su’s medical weight loss
program is a safe and proven program that is designed to achieve
rapid and significant weight loss. Because it is so important
to keep weight off for the long term, you will also be given the
keys to diet and exercise that will help you maintain your results.
Your program will be tailored to the goals that you set with Dr.
Su. Average weight loss for those who are moderately overweight
may be 20-30 lbs.
How does it work?
This program incorporates prescription
appetite suppressants that are only available through a physician.
You will be monitored with labs, and by physical exam to ensure
that the medications are being used safely. Some supplements,
including vitamins and other metabolism enhancers, will be available
separately. There is a strict diet plan that accompanies the appetite
suppressants which is very low in daily caloric intake, but you
should be able to adhere to this while on the medications. Our
diet plan incorporates principles from several key weight loss
experts including Dr. Agatston (The South Beach Diet) and Dr.
Adkins (Adkin’s Diet Revolution). This diet plan will put
your body into a fat burning state (ketosis) and will replace
unhealthy carbs with a variety of healthy carbs and antioxidant
rich foods that will nourish your skin from within.
The program will require a once
a week visit for about 2 months and then will taper off. The duration
of the entire program will depend upon your individual results
and goals. Most people will be finished with their program within
3 months, but may require some maintenance visits.
Who can participate?
Most individuals will be able to
participate in this program. However, individuals with severe
or unstable medical conditions will not be candidates. If there
is any question of safety, Dr. Su may request an okay from the
individual’s primary care physician. |
