During your initial consultation, we will listen to your weight loss struggles and goals. Tell us about any weight loss programs you have already tried, along with any weight loss pills and supplements. We will evaluate your medical history and conduct a physical examination. We will discuss how The Path to Success Program can help you with your weight loss goals. This will include going through the details of the program from week 1 to week 12. This will help you understand exactly how our medically monitored weight loss program can effectively help achieve your goals. Any concerns you raise during the consultation will be answered to ensure that you are confident and ready to enroll in our program. A discussion of cost will also be included in the consultation.

The Path to Success™ is a medically monitored 12-week program located in Raleigh, North Carolina and serves the entire Triangle. After completion of the program, you gain more confidence in your food choices, see improvements in body composition, and feel more energized. Our medically supervised weight loss program will enable you to put an end to yo-yo dieting and weight cycling with the help of a supervising registered dietitian and physician.

First, you will jump start your metabolism by following a ketogenic meal plan to achieve safe and rapid weight loss. For the first several weeks, you will follow a supplements-only meal plan, which includes high quality meal replacement shakes, protein bars, and protein snacks made by Celebrate Vitamins. During this phase of the program, you will see rapid weight loss, starting the first week of treatment. You will be medically monitored weekly throughout this entire 12-week program to guarantee safe and effective weight loss. As you progress through the program, customizable, grocery-based meals are reintroduced with the supervision of a registered dietitian. Grocery-based meals contain nutritious, whole food ingredients that are tailored to every client’s individual needs by your care team. These meals are structured to be easily incorporated into a healthy diet after you complete the program to maintain long term weight loss. Each week you will attend education classes focused on three important areas needed for long term success:

• Nutrition
• Behavior
• Physical activity

These lessons enable our clients to make positive changes to their diet, recognize self-sabotaging behaviors, and participate in an appropriate level of physical activity needed for lifelong weight loss and weight maintenance.
