If you’ve tried to lose weight at any point in your life, you’ve no doubt seen the plethora of articles, tips, tricks, pills, and potions out there. Every time you turn around there is another study that contradicts the last one, and you hear so many “bad” words, you can’t tell what’s what. Bad carbs, bad fats, clean foods, cheat meals – it can all be so confusing!

So, we’re here to simplify things for you by debunking some common weight loss myths you may have heard out there.

Myth #1: The best way to measure your progress is with the scale.

FALSE. You could be losing muscle or water weight, not fat. The scale can go up or down by several pounds a day just from the foods you eat, how much salt you intake, hormonal changes, or because of the time of day you weigh. For example, if you eat a ton of bread, pizza and salt – you’ll no doubt be retaining a lot of water. And women especially know about the changes their bodies go through during certain times of the month, and can gain or lose several pounds in a week as a result. Sure, the scale is great for accountability, but getting your body fat measured and checking your measurements should be priority, too.

Myth#2: Only morbidly obese people need a medically supervised program.

FALSE. Anyone with at least 5 pounds to lose can benefit from our program. Think about it – aren’t you sick of the yo-yo dieting and roller coaster ride of emotions that goes along with it? If you’re not a Doctor or Nurse, Dietician or Nutritionist specializing in weight loss, you probably don’t know everything there is to losing weight and the human body. So why not trust an expert to guide you along on your journey? Click here to learn more.

Myth #3: Anyone should be able to lose weight if they just eat right and exercise.

FALSE. We do several tests to check thyroid function, glucose levels and kidney function, because sometimes healthy eating and exercising aren’t enough. Sometimes you need a little extra help, and there may be underlying issues you’re unaware of that are stalling your progress. Besides, what is healthy or clean eating? That’s such a broad, vague statement, and there are so many conflicting messages out there – it’s easy to get overwhelmed or confused.

But we are here to help.

If you have a class reunion, birthday or anniversary, or just want to get in shape for summer – you’re not doubt thinking about losing some weight and getting in shape.

But how? You may have tried and failed countless times before, and tired every “diet” in the world, but nothing sticks. What gives?

Well, have you ever thought about medically supervised weight loss? Here are three reasons, in case you’re on the fence:

First, our program is easy to follow. There’s no need for spending countless hours calculating out how much to eat of which foods at what times, or what workouts to do when and for how long – we make our programs easy, because we know you already have enough to deal with. Let’s face it, people are strapped for time, and many times that’s how they became overweight in the first place!

Second, we are there for you. We strive to answer any questions you have along the way, and make the program as seamless and easy to follow as ever. We know a support system has been shown to help people when making a lifestyle change, and our nurses know how to keep you motivated and accountable along the way. We don’t want you to have energy crashes or feel starved, and we don’t want you confused or overwhelmed at any point.

Finally, we use science not guessing. We take several measurements and give you lots of tests to determine exactly what will work best for you, and where we are starting from. We measure your body fat, BMI, take your measurements, weigh you, and even do lab work and an EKG for some clients. All to ensure we find the best program to meet your specific body and needs.
