NO FAD DIETS
This is no diet trend – this is a medical program that starts by looking at your medical history, evaluating your EKG, blood work and lifestyle, according to Jachimek. Then, the clinic’s doctors propose a plan for you, and prescribe appropriate pharmaceutical appetite suppressant medication, fat burning injections, vitamin therapy and fat-burning supplements. “The program is simple, inexpensive and easy to follow. We give you a large list of foods to buy/choose from,” Jachimek said. “The program is easy, because it is food bought in the grocery store (no special foods to order); just regular meats, fruits and vegetables on our list. This factor also makes it more affordable, because you don’t have to buy special foods, or cook separate dinners if you have a family.” Under the supervision of the clinic’s medical doctors and practitioners, patients can drop 20 to 30 pounds in the first month. Their program has proven that it is common to see 5 to 10 pounds dropped in the first week. “We have had patients that have lost 17 pounds in their first week, as well as patients that have lost over a hundred pounds on our program,” Jachimek said. Accountability is also a major part of the program. Keeping the patients safe and on track, their nurses evaluate, and treat patients weekly to provide support and give suggestions on how to reach and maintain their target weight. Jachimek stresses that there are no price surprises at Medical Weight Loss. The initial visit is $195 and weekly visits are $55. It’s an easy and successful way to lose the unwanted pounds that have made you miserable for years, she said. Medical Weight Loss, LLC, is at 314 Sage St., Lake Geneva, and also in Waukesha.
