The Million Dollar Question

I am frequently asked the same questions, “What happens when I lose all of my excess weight?” and “Won’t I just gain it all back?" Studies support the fact that 50% of patients that lose weight will gain it back in two years. Although this may sound like a grim statistic, at Red Mountain Weight Loss, we are committed to your success and continued weight maintenance.

When it comes to maintaining weight loss, I like to use this analogy. Many people join a gym or health club with the goal of “getting in shape.” However, after several months of hard work and achieving their fitness goals, they simply cannot say, “Okay. I am fit now, so I am going to stop working out.” Instead, they must continue to exercise to maintain their new, toned body. It’s the same way when maintaining your weight loss. Even though you are now able to eat more calories than when on the diet, it is still very important to be mindful about what you are eating and adhere to healthy eating principles. These include eating plenty of lean proteins, lots of fruits and vegetables, a few complex carbohydrates and some healthy fats, such as olive oil, nuts and avocados. Yes, you can get away with an indulgence here and there, but you must return to healthy eating habits.

At Red Mountain Weight Loss we are here to support you with your continued weight maintenance. Many of our patients still come in for weigh-ins and continue with weekly “Diet Shots,” which help to boost metabolism and energy levels. Some successful patients add our specialized supplements, such as Carnatine Synergy, CLA, Crave Arrest or Lipo BC to their maintenance regime. For others, it is also helpful to continue on a maintenance dose of our prescription strength appetite suppressants, to avoid rebound weight gain.

One of the biggest benefits of our medical weight loss program is our commitment to your long-term weight loss success. At Red Mountain Weight Loss we have all of the knowledge, support and tools necessary for you to be a weight loss success story for your lifetime!

Testimonial:

I started the program January 24, 2011, thinking it was going to be the hardest diet ever. As the months went by, so did the weight. The program and the staff were wonderful. There were some times that were tough, but a visit or a phone call to the office took care of that problem. I found out that this was not a “diet” but a lifestyle change. Since being on the HCG diet, I have recommended Red Mountain Med Spa to family and friends, and they have all had great results. This has been a great experience!
