WEIGHT LOSS FOR LIFE
Providing individualized support to help you lose weight and maintain that weight loss long-term
It’s all over the news. There is an obesity epidemic in this country. With excess weight comes a host of related medical conditions including heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and gall bladder disease. Being overweight can also affect your quality of life. Extra pounds can make you more tired and limit your daily activities. It can contribute to poor self-esteem and depression and can lead to arthritis, sleep problems, and digestive issues. Being overweight can aggravate menopausal symptoms and contribute to infertility.
Take a look at any magazine or surf the Internet and you will see a wide range of weight-loss products, programs, and strategies available. Many people find the options very overwhelming, and often don’t know where to turn. 95% of those who undertake a simple diet will gain their weight back within 2 years, and 99% gain it back within 5 years.
As a result, many people have contacted us, asking for our advice on how to get rid of their extra pounds AND how to keep them off. We recognize that excess weight can often be the root cause of many diseases, and we also recognize that for some people there are many challenges in figuring out how to lose weight. In working with patients who want to lose weight, we take all these factors and more into account.
Yo-yo dieting is actually dangerous, so it’s important to not only lose weight but also to learn healthy habits and strategies for keeping the weight off—for life. Diet pills, appetite suppressants, extreme diets, or diets not based on real foods generally don’t work for the long-term, and can actually be harmful in some circumstances.
We have found the most effective way to lose weight and keep it off is to learn healthy habits: to eat real foods, to learn about correct portion sizes, and to learn about supplemental nutrients and exercise strategies that work.
Both Dr. Eric and Dr. Kristina are trained in a weight-loss program that follows these guidelines called “UltraLite.” This system has been named the #1 Weight Loss program for sustainable weight loss by the readers of Slimming magazine for the past 2 years.

This weight loss program is divided into 5-week increments that include weekly office visits. While on the program, you should not experience hunger or food cravings, and most people report increased mental alertness and energy. You will eat 3 solid meals a day. Also included in the program are yummy packets of vitamins, minerals, and essential amino acids to mix with water and take between meals as a snack that help to stabilize blood sugar levels and eliminate cravings. The packets come in flavors such as chocolate, vanilla, coffee, and banana, and are truly tasty.
"The UltraLite weight loss program was very effective. I lost 16 lbs. in just 3 weeks while not feeling hungry between meals and feeling more energetic during the day. All the meals were tasty and healthy. Over the years I have tried Atkins, South Beach, the Zone Diet, and others, but the results were not long lasting. I looked forward to my weekly office visits. Fat just seemed to melt away without losing any muscle."
