Very Low Calorie Diet - VLCD

A Very Low Calorie Diet is a medically supervised rapid weight loss program for women with at least 40 lbs. to lose and men with at least 50 lbs. to lose. A caring team of healthcare professionals teach you how to lose weight by modifying your eating and exercise habits, and address behaviors that previously stopped you from achieving your weight loss goals.

You will:

  • Experience an average of 3-5 lbs/wk weight loss with our delicious meal replacements and protein supplements
  • Have increased energy and self-esteem
  • Complete a comprehensive screening process to determine your personal weight loss diet plan
  • Follow a structured three-phase program
  • Receive weekly support from your peers, as well as a team of professionals
  • Learn from Patient Education Modules to help you develop new behaviors so you can transition into weight loss maintenance
  • Experience potential health benefits: lower blood pressure, lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes, lower cholesterol, improved cardiovascular health, and reduced pain in weight-bearing joints
