Diet
At MIIS Weight Loss Institute, we have the honor of working closely with many patients who desire medical or surgical weight loss. We enjoy helping patients jump start their weight loss with our Jump Start Program so they can see immediate results before surgery or if they want to overcome a weight loss plateau. In fact, it is helpful for anyone who wants to lose weight quickly.
You see, our surgeons designed our “Jump Start” program primarily to help you achieve a 5-30-pound weight loss in a very short time span (14-28 days). It is healthy, quick, and easy, convenient, and very motivating! Here are some of the details and additional benefits.
- Depending on the Diet you choose, this is an all, or partial supplement diet that can replace all, or the majority of your meals with 3-5 protein shakes each day. These supplements can only be obtained through a physician and provide all the protein that you need to insure retention of your lean body mass and fullness.
- This diet has very low total calories so as I mentioned, it can also be used to help break through a plateau. It can also detoxify the body and act as an elimination diet to help sort out potential food allergies or intolerances.
- The “Jump Start” diet is very convenient because the shakes are simply mixed with water and ice and can be easily transported anywhere. It will take the guesswork out of meal planning and free up some time usually spent on meal preparation.
- The diet is really manageable for most people because it lasts only 14-28 days and that time frame makes it so much easier for commitment. As you notice quick results you will be highly motivated to see it through.
Here at MIIS Weight Loss Institute we also recommend that you begin journaling your protein, carb, and calorie intake, so that you can track your achievements. It is important to stay active and drink the required 8 cups of water or approved beverages, daily.
Once you have completed your program there are a few things to take into consideration. With this program you will lose both body fat and water so it is important that you learn what to eat after you complete the program so that you don’t regain the weight that you’ve worked so hard to lose. You also need to learn the behaviors that will ultimately help you to achieve a permanent lifestyle change. At MIIS Weight Loss Institute, we have several different programs to suit different people’s needs. We can’t wait to help you break through your barriers and achieve long-term results.
Remember that our team here at MIIS Weight Loss Institute is available to answer any questions you may have and to support you every step of the way.
