Many people fail to get the physique they want despite drastically changing their exercise routine and eating habits. While crash dieting can result in weight loss, the issue with this method is that lean muscle can account for a significant amount of the pounds lost. This ultimately slows down the body’s metabolism and sets the stage for rebound weight gain once the diet is abandoned.

The Weight Loss Program at Beta Wellness is medically designed and more thought-out than traditional weight loss programs that merely look at calories in and calories out. The program works on this principle: the body must be supported nutritionally and hormonally while in a caloric deficit for it to preferentially break down fat cells over muscle tissue. Originally, this weight loss program was developed by British endocrinologist Dr. Simeons in the early 1950’s.

The length of time that you stay on the program depends on your weight loss goal. The suggested length of time is usually a minimum of 6 weeks. During your initial assessment, your physician will review your medical history, current health issues, test results and current supplement and medication regimen to determine the specific modifications that might be required to successfully complete the program.

It is common for patients to experience mild hunger during the first few days. However, this often passes and by the second week, they will find that even small food servings are satisfying. This change is partly due to the hypothalamus adjusting the body’s metabolic rate but is largely due to the available calories circulating in the system from broken-down fat.

The most important part of our program is coaching our patients on the gradual return to maintenance levels of food intake, so as not to regain weight. Once you successfully complete the program, you are at the beginning of another new journey in changing the way you eat for life. To stay successful in keeping the weight off, you must control your food portions and avoid previous eating habits that once sabotaged your weight loss efforts.

Typical Results:

The average amount of weight loss for one cycle is 15 to 30 lb. Individuals tend to lose the most weight in the first 2 to 4 weeks of the program. Some individuals lose as much as 10 to 12 lb. in the first week. The average rate of weight loss is 3 to 5 pounds per week. Once the target weight is achieved, monitoring is done to ensure stabilization and maintenance of weight.

The Weight Loss Program is best suited for people who need to lose a substantial amount of body fat and are prepared to make drastic changes to their diet and lifestyle.
