Is a supervised weight-loss plan right for me?
A supervised program is generally best for people who have tried losing weight on their own but haven’t found success. Carrying excess weight can contribute to low self-esteem and impact your mobility, making everyday tasks a challenge.
Clients with certain medical conditions, like diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, or sleep apnea, may also find our weight-loss program helpful because losing even small amounts of weight can help improve or reverse these life-threatening conditions.
The personalized plans at Balboa Medical Center & Spa may also be right for you if you’ve been diagnosed with a health condition that impacts your ability to exercise or lose weight.
How do I know it will work?
There are many weight-loss programs on the market, and many make promises but fall short on delivery. It’s important to understand how each program works so you can better assess if the program is right for you.
At Balboa Medical Center & Spa, we stand behind our supervised weight-loss plans and know they deliver the results you desire because each client’s plan is customized to meet their current and goal weight.
What’s more? Our plan uses a comprehensive, science-based approach to weight loss that includes different aspects of helping clients attain their goal weight. Here’s a look at why this combined approach to weight loss works:
Our team uses customized pharmacotherapy, prescribing different medications to jumpstart your weight loss and help you keep losing weight. Examples of the different medications we use include:
- Phendimetrazine
- Phentermine
- Benzphetamine
- Diethylpropion
We also provide extensive nutrition counseling to help you better understand your caloric needs and intake, increase your metabolism, and reduce your appetite in healthy ways. Rather than feeling restricted, you’ll learn to enjoy a wide variety of healthy, weight-loss-promoting foods.
Finally, we offer help determining which lifestyle modifications will benefit you most, including a regular exercise program, reducing sugar and alcohol intake, and overcoming any bad habits that stand in your way.
Our team stays with you every step of your weight-loss journey, offering extra support when needed to help ensure your success.
How can I get started with a weight-loss plan?
The best way to get started is by scheduling a weight-loss consultation with a specialist at Balboa Medical Center & Spa. Our team works with you to help you lose weight safely and quickly.
Before starting on your plan, our team evaluates your medical and family history, assesses your current health, and reviews your weight-loss journey, including any previous diets or exercise programs you’ve tried.
This detailed history helps us understand what works for you and what doesn’t so we can customize a program that meets your needs. In some cases, our team may suggest a psychological evaluation to help you reach your goals.
