Medical Weight Loss
The staff at the Dr. Shel Wellness & Medical Spa will educate you regarding a simple, balanced eating program. We offer two medically supervised weight loss programs: HCG Weight Loss Program and Transitions Lifestyle System. In order to obtain and maintain optimal health and an ideal body weight, you must follow a nutritionally balanced eating program, along with detoxification to maximize your body’s fat burning potential. Proper supplementation is also essential to support your body in its efforts to maintain lean body mass while shedding unwanted fat pounds.
Successful weight loss and long-term maintenance can be achieved through diet and behavior modification as well as simple lifestyle changes. We will tailor a program to meet your personal weight loss goals.
About The HCG Diet
The hCG weight loss protocol consists of a very low calorie diet (VLCD) accompanied by treatments of hCG. The average hCG dieter experiences rapid weight loss averaging 1/2 to 1 pound per day. The hCG allows your body to burn only fat, without losing valuable muscle tissue. Typically, with dieting alone you can lose lean muscle mass thus your weight loss in terms of pounds lost may be inaccurate since you are losing both muscle and fat. HCg targets only fat and promotes building of lean muscle when combined with exercise.
In addition to loss of unwanted fat, the true benefit of the hCG protocol is its ability to help modify the dieter’s relationship with food and eating, resulting in easily maintained, long-term weight loss.
