Our Mediterranean Program

We rely heavily on the concept of non-deprivation when it comes to food. Anytime you restrict a food group while trying to lose weight, you are constantly struggling with concepts such as "I can't eat this or I won't." The Mediterranean style of eating with some modification is one of our focused dietary recommendations since it is well balanced and offers you the options of an eating plan that is inclusive of all food groups and therefore non-restrictive. It incorporates whole grain carbohydrates, adequate proteins, and healthier unsaturated fats.

We use these concepts in a low calorie diet to form a nutritionally structured program that works. The low calorie dietary plans we use range anywhere from 900-1200 calories per day depending on the individual patient's needs.

The low calorie diet is a consistent weight loss program that can result in a several pound per week loss, depending on the patient's determination with the program. Nutritional and lifestyle behavior counseling is provided so that when patients reach their goal, they will have the necessary tools to be able to maintain their weight for life.
