“Shakes & Solids”
Two shakes per day program structure:
This program utilizes 2 shake supplements per day that are mixed with cold water or milk and fruit if desired. These low carbohydrate, protein enhanced shakes are combined with low glycemic index foods, nutrition education, and medical monitoring. Appetite suppressants can be prescribed if not contraindicated.
These nutritious shakes are used during the “Active Weight Loss Phase” to prevent loss of lean muscle. The range of calorie counts are from 1200 to 1500+/day depending on your resting metabolic rate, physical exam, current medications, lab results, and how much weight there is to lose.
During this phase which usually lasts 90 days, you can expect to lose 1-2 pounds per week of healthy weight loss. Nutrition education with lists of all low glycemic food options (foods you would normally buy at the store), as well as how much of these foods you can consume will be provided. There is very little guess work!
When we are 2-3 pounds from your goal we will start the 2 week transition phase. This is where we replace the shakes and add back in the equivalent amount of solid foods. You will have your resting metabolic rate and body fat percentage measured at the end of your program as well!
2 Shakes per day program cost:
Initial Month: $581.00
Includes: History and physical, a complete laboratory analysis (includes all hormone levels if needed), EKG, ReeVue: Resting Metabolic Rate Analysis, Body Fat Analysis, and four weeks worth of shakes. During the first month, every patient has an initial visit with two follow-up visits. The initial and second visits are in person, the third follow up is a ZOOM call. I include an extra follow-up by ZOOM because there are many medical and psychological issues that may need to be discussed during this initial month.
Subsequent Months: $266.00*
Includes: All shakes, follow-up visits.
Transition Phase: $145.00
Includes: Two office visits to discuss progress of transition to healthy diet and exercise. We will measure your resting metabolic rate and body fat percent at the end as well!
*Additional costs may be required if there is a need for follow-up labs to track thyroid function, diabetes, hormone levels, or anemia etc. that are being treated.
