Maintenance Program
Now that you've reached your goal weight, we begin the arduous task of maintaining where you are.

Recently, the scientific community has begun, more and more, to regard obesity as a chronic disease - one for which there is presently no known cure. There is, however, effective treatment that will control - not cure, but control the obesity. But like other chronic diseases, the treatment must be continued for life.

Usually, there is a genetic trait for obesity, which means that some of the body chemicals are not performing as they should... But by using some of the medications that are available, we can change the way that these chemicals work. However if we stop the medications, the body chemicals will usually go back to their previous "poor"performance. SO STAY IN THE MAINTENANCE PHASE OF TREATMENT.

This, then is the very essence of the maintenance phase of our programs. If you fail to continue treatment, the weight will return - almost no one ever believes this, but you must make long term plans...
