Slimmer Success Steps and Medical Approach: LOCAL CARE We perform history
and physical examinations for all patients.
Your participating physician, or our Charleston Centers have FOUR STEPS which range from details of practical diagnostics to recognition of alternative plans, if warranted. In some cases, an underlying condition will resolve the obesity. At http://www.slimmersuccess.com/education.htmL we list all the major diseases or medications which contribute to obesity. You or your medical provider should review them. Complications of obesity may require
immediate intervention. Notable blood pressure problems or uncontrolled
diabetes are examples. Such medical records are shared with your
established physician. Documentation of blood pressures, HR, symptoms, and interval events at home since last visit are required. Our copyrighted patient-symptom form and key documents are reviewed on every visit. We require mandatory office visits
for drug renewals (unless exceptional circumstances). Weight monitoring
helps with maintenance motivation, and the physician must your program
tolerance. If you wish to have a
PERMANENT slimmer success, and have a physician
prescribed-individualized plan, then contact us. Slimmer Success
Steps and Medical Approach:
INTERNET PARTICIPATION- Slimmer Success always prefers medical supervision in dietary management. You may find a Slimmer Success Center in your location in the next year. However, even without direct supervision, the fundamentals of our program will be successful to motivated dieters. DIET PLANS are everywhere because approximately two-thirds of Americans are overweight. While there is a lot of money to be made, Slimmer Success has provided FREE weight loss information, links to the lowest cost food items, and the most effective programs for almost a decade. Everything from slimmer success is written by physicians and dieticians. We have had to keep in mind that many of our Southern patients cannot afford even the simplest of plans. Given: Then cost-effective programs such as ours have had to develop. Study after study shows that the poorer you are, the more likely you will have weight issues. Slimmer Success gives you an entire plan at no costs for years. However, we use disclaimers to make sure that your diet program has some medical supervision. We ONLY ask that you consider us, as your source for the meal replacement aspect of dietary management. We are currently the internet's lowest cost meal replacement source, and in our educational section we describe the benefits and considerations for such a calorie reduction method. Our physicians recognize that patients are particularly concerned about weight in the spring and summer months and just before the Christmas ball season. At such times, some patients will over-diet and try only consuming the average 160 calorie meal packets. THEY ARE NEVER INTENDED TO FULLY REPLACE BALANCED MEALS. Instead, for those who are prone to weight gain, only the replacement of 1 meal a day will still reduce, on average, 600 calories a day. This equates to several pounds per month, or once you have achieved your goal weight-maintenance of that weight would be expected, particularly if you use the other aspects of the Slimmer Success Program such as "Body Buddy" exercise and motivation. History: We have never sold anything or made any profits at Slimmer Success. Obese sleep patients were the original target audience. Eighty-five percent of sleep apnea patients are very obese. The founder recognized that correction of the sleep disorders protected the patients from cardiac and vascular events, but their obesity rarely reversed unless he included a "Weight Pep Talk" and a lot of dietary education. Sleep patients are a particularly difficult subset of patients. They are either too sleepy, or for some reason not motivated to diet or even enter formal hospital weight programs. But Slimmer Success has even worked for them. Now it's being introduced with more tools to the general public. We have had 1000’s of visitors a day using our resources, which makes us proud. However the program, like Wikipedia® needs operating revenues (they are financed through donations). We ask that patrons consider purchasing Slimmer Success meal replacements, which will be offered through Paypal®. Our R-Kane line has been the mainstay of local diet services for over 20 years, and is an excellent starting place. Expanded menus, and potential cost-effective diet devices, will be offered as we grow. We have received endorsements from objective weight management groups, the national PTA, and use ADA (American Diabetic Association) and AHA (American Heart Association) guidelines for all interventions (see our education section). Our centers, when established nationally, will offer the lowest cost, yet safest (physician monitored) avenue for your weight control. One plan does not fit all-and we will stress the need for individualization and cost-conscious treatment. The copyrighted Body Buddy system and lifestyle contracts alone will be adequate for many readers and so, for them the plan will remain FREE!
