Weight Management Program

It's More than Just a Diet. It's a Lifestyle Change.

The goal of The Weight Management Program of San Francisco, Inc. is to provide you with a safe, significant weight loss method under close medical supervision. Medical screening and monitoring are integral parts of our program. Additionally, we'll work to educate you on how proper nutrition and physical activity work together to keep your weight down. We'll also teach you the skills and habits necessary to help you maintain a medically sound weight.

Once you've reached your weight goal, we encourage you to join our Maintenance Program, designed to help you make the adjustment to living in your new, lower-weight body.

Lifestyle Changes Spell Long-Term Success.

The majority of people who participate in our program have tried a variety of weight-loss plans, usually without any long-term success. People who come to the Weight Management Program want to achieve and maintain a leaner, healthier body. Through proper medical care, and our intensive educational process, our patients learn and practice how to maintain a lower body weight and change their lifestyle.

Weight Loss is Not the Cure for Obesity. It's Just the First Step.

The Weight Management Program of San Francisco, Inc. emphasizes not only weight loss, but also strategies for long-term success and lifestyle change.

Weekly visits, education in the areas of nutrition, fitness and health, and the daily practice of a new way of eating help our patients to make a new, successful beginning.

Most importantly, our Program provides long-term patient follow-up. After weight loss, patients have the opportunity to practice the new skills they've learned under our professional guidance.

What Our Patients Can Expect:

-	You'll be taught the skills to keep off weight.
-	You'll attend weekly health education classes to learn techniques for supermarket shopping, ordering in restaurants, and many other difficult situations.
-	You'll receive frequent monitoring by medical staff.
-	You'll focus on what you can do, not what you can't.
-	The same skills and habits developed to lose excess weight work to improve other risk factors (like high blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes) linked to being overweight. So your overall health can improve. In turn, becoming healthier is itself a strong incentive to maintaining one's weight loss.
