Low calorie diets under the proper medical supervision are effective, safe and give fast results. With medical supervision a person can safely lose 5 pounds the first week and about 2.5 pound every week after. This amounts to approximately 12 to 15 pounds a month. These results keep people motivated and on-track towards goal.
"We have had great success with our Smart for Life Weight Management Center™ Program and our clients do very well. A typical client has a medical examination by one of our staff physicians, a diet history is taken, EKG and BMI performed, complete blood profile, and weekly one-on-one counseling sessions. We also teach our clients that to maintain their weight loss will be a continuing life-long project," says Dr Moulavi.
The task begins with the unique, scientifically, doctor-formulated cookies that people eat during the day on the proprietary Smart for Life Cookie Diet™. These Smart Cookies contain natural and organic ingredients and teach them to consume smaller meals more frequently during the day. This behavior modification technique has been found by experts to help people attain their proper goal weight and help maintain that weight for long periods of time. Even after people are taught healthy eating habits and how to maintain their weight, we ask them to come back to visit us one month a year, once they reach their goal weight.
"A 1999 study from the University of Florida, on 'The Effects of Exercise-focused Versus Weight-focused Maintenance Programs on the Management of Obesity' found that; during the year following initial weight-loss treatment, participants in the weight-focused only program demonstrated significantly greater reduction in fat consumption and significantly better maintenance of weight losses than subjects in the exercise-focused program."
