The basis of Medi-Weightloss Clinics programs is that you are most likely to succeed at losing weight when you have medical support, nutrition education and a controlled eating plan. You need to attend Medi-Weightloss Clinics to participate fully in the program, but you can purchase food and supplement products online even without signing up for the diet plan. Get your doctor's approval before using any products from Medi-Weightloss Clinics or starting a weight loss program.
During Phase 1, or Acute Weight Loss, you get medical tests such as body composition analysis, blood laboratory tests and EKG. Throughout Phase 1 and Phase 2, or the Short-Term Maintenance Phase, you have weekly medical consultations, and you get access to the Signature Patient Website for managing your account. During Phase 3, or Wellness, medical consultations are monthly. Throughout the program, you receive meal plans and educational materials, and you take nutritional supplements. The program includes an exercise regimen.
Medi-Weightloss Foods
The Medi-Weightloss Clinics program relies on grocery store food, and not prepared diet products. When you are on the diet, you receive nutrition plans, recipes and tips for sticking to the diet. Regardless of whether you are part of the official program, you can purchase Medi-Weightloss Clinics branded foods from the company's website. There are 100-calorie protein bars, which come in chocolate, peanut butter, cinnamon and blueberry, whey protein shakes and salad dressings, such as sesame ginger and Parmesan peppercorn.
Supplements
Some Medi-Weightloss Clinics dietary supplements are available for you to purchase online, even if you are not part of the full diet program. There is a gluten-free, vegan daily multivitamin and mineral supplement, as well as an omega-three fatty acid supplement pill. For bone health, you can purchase a calcium blend that also contains magnesium and vitamin D-3 -- the active form of vitamin D, which your body needs for absorbing calcium. There is a colon cleanser with several kinds of fiber for a laxative effect. The Food and Drug Administration does not evaluate dietary supplements for their safety or effectiveness, so use them with caution and only with your doctor's approval.
Other Information
Medi-Weightloss Clinics claim that you can lose 5 to 10 lbs. during the first week of the program, and up to 20 lbs. during your first month. If you have a smaller amount of weight to lose when you start the program, your medical team will customize your program for your weight loss goals. The program claims to be safe for individuals with diabetes, but you should still consult with your own doctor if you have medical conditions. You need to contact the company to receive a price for the program.
