Weight Loss Program Overview

MEAL REPLACEMENT PROGRAM The Meal Replacement (MR) Program is made up of high quality protein with low levels of carbs and calories. When consuming at least 5 MR’s per day, the patient will receive 100% of their Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of vitamins and minerals. The MR’s are powders that are convenient and easy to travel with. The protein powder packs can be made into soups, shakes and puddings and we also carry the protein bars.

WHAT ARE VLCD AND LCD? VLCD stands for Very Low Calorie Diet and LCD stands for Low Calorie Diet. A VLCD: 800 -1000 calories (body will enter Ketosis) no exercise for 2 weeks weight loss averages 3 -4 lbs per week if compliant Safe for Type 2 diabetes A LCD: 1000 -1500 calories weight loss averages 2 -3 lbs per week if compliant Safe for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes KETOSIS: when the body does not have enough carbohydrates from food for your cells to burn for energy, so it burns fat instead. The high protein protects the lean muscle allowing stored fat to be burned.
