Medi-Weightloss Clinics® Offer Physician-Supervised Weight Loss Program
If you are one of the many Birmingham residents who try to lose weight each year, you know how frustrating it can be when you don't see pounds coming off right away. There are thousands of diets available, from restrictive fad diets to plans that include only prepacked food. How do you know which weight loss program will work for you? Medi-Weightloss Clinics® offers a physiciansupervised three phase weight loss program. Our medical staff guides each patient on an individual plan that helps you reach your goal weight and keep it off. On average, Medi-Weightloss Clinics® patients lose 7 pounds the first week and 2 to 3 pounds each week thereafter for the first month! The program was developed based on the 5 keys to wellness: Medicine, Nutrition, Exercise, Education, and Motivation. The Initial Consultation includes a full medical exam to evaluate your current health status. You'll receive a comprehensive blood panel, blood pressure reading, EKG, weight and body fat index, and review of your health history and personal health concerns. The team will assess your weight loss goals and review your weight loss plan. After your Initial Consultation, our team of medical professionals will meet with you on a weekly basis to help you reach your goal weight. We provide resources to help patients learn how to live a healthy lifestyle and keep the weight off for life. Unfortunately, many programs don't educate their patients on how to keep the weight off and that's something Medi-Weightloss Clinics® is focused on. Our staff is committed to teaching people how to improve their quality of life. We enjoy watching our patients transform, inside and out. They not only look and feel better, but we know they are becoming healthier and decreasing their risk for developing obesity related diseases. Let us guide you on your weight loss journey! Visit us in the Brookwood Medical Plaza. Mention Over the Mountain Journal for an exclusive discount on your Initial Consultation.
