For adults ready to make the lifestyle changes to lose weight, we offer
two options for weight loss programs. Both programs include weekly weigh-in
and group education sessions, behavioral assessment and coaching and the
assistance of a navigator in helping you stay on track.
A Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) program that requires comprehensive medical
monitoring is offered for those who have 40 or more pounds to lose. This
program uses a nutritionally complete beverage as your sole source of
nutrition.
A Low Calorie Diet (LCD) program is offered that incorporates a combination
of healthy foods and/or meal replacement beverages and snack products.
Utilizing meal replacements can produce substantially greater weight loss
than traditional diets by simplifying meal choices and creating structure.
