Ultra-Lite Weight Loss Program

As you know, obesity has become a number one health concern and risk in this country. Helping my patients with their weight will decrease the incidence of diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, heart attack, stroke, numerous cancers, and premature death as well as varied painful back and joint conditions. Reducing weight can also improve sense of beauty, self-esteem and confidence, as well as overall energy and well-being.

In my continuing commitment toward preventive and wellness medicine, in this 24th year of my practice, I have become one of the first fifty doctors in the US to be trained in the Ultra Lite System, a weight management program developed over the last ten years in Australia. It is the most successful program there, used by over 350 clinics and with over 350,000 individuals. Ultra-Lite is a 5 week or more program that allows women to lose up to 4 ½ pounds and men up to 6 ½ pounds weekly in a safe and systematized manner.

One of our first Ultra-Lite patients, a 46 year old woman who had done many, many diets previously (with unfailing commitment) and who could never break the 180 pound barrier, began our program at 199 pounds, and by the end of her third 5 week round, she weighed 148, a loss of 51 pounds. She lost 9 inches from her waist and 7 inches from her hips so far, and she feels wonderful and is thrilled. Her target goal is 130, a weight she hasn't been since 13 years old. One of the first men we put on the program, a 60 year old business man and competitive water-skier--too heavy, he felt, at 233--slimmed down to 203 in 5 weeks, his target goal. He had not been able to break the 210 barrier on the Atkins and several other diets he had tried.

More importantly, the program educates you on how to maintain your desired weight once you have reached your goal. We have set up a simple and easy support system for assisting you in maintaining your Weight Loss "For Life".

This program is not a pill in a bottle solution or a meal replacement using shakes and bars. Whether you are obese and wanting to lose 100 pounds or just needing to get rid of a 20 pound bulge, please call my office to set up a free consultation to learn more about the Ultra Lite program and if this program would be appropriate for you.
