Metabolic Medical Center

     The Profast program offers the most rapid weight loss possible while maintaining maximum safety.  On this plan, five liquid meal replacements are consumed each day, along with a combination of supplements to ensure that your body is receiving the necessary vitamins and minerals it needs.  You and your doctor will determine your need for additional supplements based on the results of your initial office visit.

     The main advantage of the Profast weight loss program is that you don't have any decisions to make regarding foods.  Patients who have difficulty controlling food quantities generally find this program to be a welcome relief, as the burden of portion control is eliminated.  Another benefit is the encouragement of seeing results almost immediately.   An additional bonus is the possibility of other chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes, arthritis, and high blood pressure, being more easily managed.

     On each visit you will be weighed, your blood pressure will be checked, and you will discuss your progress with your doctor.  Any challenges or questions will be addressed, as well as ensuring that you have all vitamins and supplements needed until your next visit.

     Although exercise is an important element in a healthy lifestyle, you should refrain from any physical exertion while participating in this portion of our program.  As you transition to eating more solid foods, including a moderate intake of carbohydrates, we will help you to develop an exercise routine to fit your life and schedule.
