Comprehensive Medical Weight Loss
5 years ago I had the pleasure of meeting a new patient at Clinical Nutrition Center. For privacy reasons, I’ll call her Lilly. She was an incredible person with her 60th birthday coming up. She wanted to get healthier and feel better.
A patient once asked me “Who is the most likely to be successful at losing weight?” After a brief moment, I answered “Moms who have a child getting married in a few months.” In my 12 years working at Clinical Nutrition Center, nearly every mom wanting to get into that pretty dress for the child’s wedding has succeeded. Many even lose more weight than they intended.

Men face many unique challenges when it comes to losing weight and keeping it off permanently. Instead of reinventing the wheel for every new challenge and situation, why not learn from others that have successfully faced that challenge? And, why not share your successes to help motivate others?
The holidays have arrived. Time to have a drink. Really? Is the doctor really recommending alcohol?
Compared to losing weight, keeping it off is a whole different ballgame. Losing weight is exciting – seeing 10 pounds, 20 pounds, or even 50 pounds come off quickly helps us stay engaged and motivated. Unfortunately, keeping the weight off doesn’t give us that reward of seeing the scale number go down, seeing our clothing size shrink, seeing our bodies return to how they were when we were younger.

Do you struggle to stay motivated? Do you feel like you have to work harder than others to accomplish your goals? You are not alone! “Success for a Lifetime” support group launches at Clinical Nutrition Center January, 2016. This will be a community of people like you who understand and are also on journeys towards success. The group will provide a safe place to find encouragement and resources to help achieve and maintain your goals.
Losing weight and keeping it off permanently is hard for many reasons. One reason so many "diets" fail is that addressing what we eat is not always the problem. Sometimes the problem is why. Do you eat for emotional reasons more so than as a result of being hungry? Are there foods you can't stop eating? Have you ever worried that you are addicted to food?
