Physician Managed Weight Loss Program
Physician Managed Weight Loss Program- If you have not been a patient here at New Life Physicians and have not had blood work done recently by your physician, we will need to get some basic labs drawn to make sure there are no problems with you liver, kidneys or thyroid. Depending on your age and medical history, we may need to get an EKG done prior to starting any diet plan. When you first come in, we will have you fill out a detailed history of what type of diet plans and current or past eating habits you have had. We will perform a metabolic rate test, which tells us how many calories your body burns on average daily. This is done after you have fasted for 4 hours and have not consumed any caffeinated beverages. The metabolic rate testing tells us how many calories you should consume daily to lose up to 3-5 lbs per week. This testing takes about 10 minutes. We can then make recommendations on how to help you achieve your weight goal using our Bariatric Ready To Drink Protein drinks and low glycemic index foods.
