Did you
know?
-
The United States has the largest selection of "high fat"
foods of any nation. Is it any wonder you are
constantly tempted by cravings and distractions to stray off
your diet?
-
The "high fat" comfort foods are in greater demand as more
become entrepreneurial workers with diverse schedules,
requiring meals-on-the-run.
-
The fast pace of today's marketplace ensures the
availability of fast-paced foods. Yet, with the right
information, you can eat out daily, still lose weight and...
you can eat real food.
-
Obesity is on the rise with children and adolescents - a
direct reflection of our diverse eating habits and
lifestyles.
-
Even a small weight loss can have a significant impact on
your health risk factors.
-
Being obese or overweight is a national health problem for
more than 97 million Americans.

| Dieting is one more
mountain to climb... higher... and yet, today you may need a
little more oxygen and a helpful push to get to the top.
The support you want consists of the most advanced information
and technology from the most trusted source - a bariatric
physician (a physician who specializes in weight loss), along
with your bariatric team (experts in nutrition and exercise).
losing a few unwanted pounds was as easy as playing a couple
games of basketball at the gym? Or maybe it was flag
football at the park or racquetball with a buddy. Your
metabolism was high, you could run all day and losing weight was
a snap. Food was an adventure to be enjoyed and counting
calories was for the "other" guy.
But as you grow older, your body changes, and it becomes more
difficult to lose weight. Now, a few extra pounds around
your midsection may refuse to disappear - no matter how hard you
try - your body won't cooperate and you feel stuck in a cycle.

The fast track
to weight loss |
| Only a medical weight
loss program can put you on the fast track to losing weight,
without compromising your health, your budget or your time.
Your bariatrician knows how to tailor a program to fit your
needs and lifestyle. Trust your bariatric team to provide
the substance and facts you need to lose the weight and keep it
off.
If it weren't for those pesky little food cravings, you'd
have the willpower you want and the goal weight you desire.
Sometimes, it takes a little more. Your bariatric team
knows just how to combine the right amount of exercise,
nutrition, and information to ease you into your new habits and
self confidence. You can regain control over your eating
and get back that "old" feeling that put confidence in power
drive.
Your bariatric physician may also prescribe the newest weight
loss medications to help you "kick" start your program.
And, expect that your bariatric team will carefully monitor your
progress.
