Welcome to Sun Valley WMC
We have designed a flexible weight loss program that will allow you to eat normal foods in moderation, concentrated on a low carbohydrates, low sugar intake. Healthy eating, drinking plenty of water (8 – 8 OZ recommended) and steady physical daily exercises such as walking, running, biking, aerobics or swimming are essential parts of this weight loss program.
Your initial visit to our clinic will include: Recording your weight and blood pressure, determining your Body Mass Index (BMI), a consultation with the doctor on duty, blood work analysis in house and dispensing of safe medications structured specially for you by the doctor. The lab results will be then presented to you by the doctor during your follow up visit.
This program has been proven to work as long as the guidelines are followed and healthy eating habits are incorporated into your life style. For example, if you need to drink a soda, even if it is a diet soda, please do it at the time when the medication is working and limit the number of sodas you consume. A diet product still has sugar in it, just under a different name. Your breakfast and lunch need to be your biggest meals of the day, this will ensure that you will burn the food and your body metabolism will start to increase and reduce your weight. Your dinner should be light and eaten before 7:00 P.M. if possible. The medications are time released and will wear off by 7:00 P.M. If you must eat after 7 P.M., please make sure that a light sensitive meal is consumed.
The American Heart Association suggests 10,000 steps daily for the least restrictive exercise for any age group. We recommend at least 30 minutes of light exercise daily as listed above. The exercise will allow your body to build up endurance and will help to increase your metabolism, which is our goal.
We also ask you to decide on a goal weight and then we compare this with the World Health Organization Guidelines specific to your body type. We will help you reach your desired goal.
Goals will make you feel empowered, especially when it is an obtainable goal.You may come in every week if you desire to check your weight. Just give us a call so that we can be ready for your arrival.
We have a follow up program in one week to check your progress. Then you return in three weeks for another follow-up and nutritional evaluation. These visits are free.
We have a referral program as well: When you refer four patients to our clinic, your next medicine renewal is FREE. Each referral card is kept in your chart for safe-keeping. We wish you all success in your weight loss program.
