Weight Management Plans

The Hazard Clinic Weight Management Nutritional Counselor will work with you to develop a weight management food plan that will complement your lifestyle and your efforts to lose weight.

Two plans will be offered:

   1. Low Carbohydrate Plan: the principle behind this food plan is the restriction of carbohydrates which places the body in ketosis. The body produces insulin to convert excess carbohydrates into body fat, so by eliminating carbohydrates the body "burns oft’" stored fat to provide fuel for the body resulting in weight loss.

      Examples of these plans include the Adkins diet, the Stillman diet, and the Scarsdale diets. Restrictions include bread, potatoes. and pasta and other complex carbohydrates. When complex carbohydrates are broken down tin the body, they become simple sugars, thereby increasing your insulin levels which the direct the body to store this sugar as fat. This plan avoids this step.

   2. Low Fat Plan: this is a well balanced, low calorie, low fat plan that is based on current dietary recommendations. Fat within the diet is restricted to 30% or less. Our nutritionist will calculate your calorie intake.

Both plans are suitable for weight management. Neither plan will result in faster weight loss results. Remember, this is a life time commitment that you are making JUST FOR YOU!! Your weight did not appear overnight and, unfortunately it will not disappear overnight either.

Remember, Our goal is to help you reach your goal for a healthier lifestyle.
