Pound Melters
Medical Weight Control Clinics
If you:
- Want to lose that last 10 or 15 pounds
- Had a baby, and need some help losing the baby weight
- Have a wedding coming up that you want to get ready for
- Want help with Weight Cycling (yo-yo dieting)
- Get back to a healthy diet
- Start your exercise program again
- Feel body positive again
Pound Melters helps with these issues and many more by “keeping it real.”
What does that mean?
It means we keep it simple! Low prices. No joining fees. We don’t get too fancy or gimmicky when it comes to losing weight. We don’t sell foods. We don’t jump on the bandwagon of the latest “lose weight fast” scheme, and we don’t force our patients to alter their lifestyles in dramatic ways. None of these work over the long term and that’s what we are interested in – long term health through realistic weight management.
There really is no great secret or gimmick.
We help you change your diet and exercise incrementally in a way that works for you. In other words, we “keep it real.” To help in this process we use prescription weight loss medications that have been on the market for over 60 years and have a proven safety track record.
What does the medication do?
It helps suppress your appetite and as a result makes small changes to your diet easier. We find that once a person has success in changing their diet, they feel confident and then will make other changes, such as finding a way to exercise, and eat even healthier. It’s a cascade of positive changes that we see happen over and over with our patients.
Once you achieve your target weight, be it 15 pounds, 50 pounds or more then you can take your new habits and go on with your life. If the weight starts to creep back up just come back for a few months to get back on track! We keep our prices low and our program simple to make it easy for you to stay on track. Many of our staff have been on the program. So, we love what we do, and we are very excited to help!
