Non Surgical Weight Management
Developing your own balance of smart eating, attitude and activity is key to successful weight loss and management. The Harper BMI non-surgical weight management program combines nutrition, behavior and fitness assessments to develop individualized plans that will help you achieve weight loss success.
Nutritional Counseling
The DMC registered dieticians will provide nutrition education on an individualized level. Programs can be structured for those whose insurance provider requires a medically supervised diet before surgical authorizations, your plateaued weight loss that needs a jump start, "back on track" program or simply in preparation for a special occasion.
Whether you are interested in a single visit or 12 week program, we include a body composition analysis. A body composition analysis determines the amount of fat vs. lean muscle tissue in your body. Body weight alone does not indicate good health because it does not distinguish how many pounds are from fat, as well as where that fat is distributed.
The 12 week program includes:
- Registration
- Weekly dietician visit
- Body Composition Analysis
- Weigh-in and blood pressure check
- Reviewing periodic lab tests
- Participate in support groups
- You'll learn how to eat more healthy, read nutrition labels and incorporate a healthy eating plan into your busy lifestyle.
