	Phase I – Rapid Weight Loss: (6-12 weeks) Phase I requires weekly medical monitoring for weigh in, goal counseling and Lipotrophic injections. Weight loss is not only safe, but rapid: an average of 3-5 pounds per week. We provide weekly support group meetings which are essential to your success. These meetings involve dieticians, exercise physiologist and psychologist to help educate you on how to manage your weight. This group offers a safe environment where you can express your thoughts, feelings, concerns and fears with others who understand what you are going through.

	Phase II – Gradual Weight Loss: (3-12 months) In Phase II, or Gradual Weight Loss, you will apply the information learned in Phase I and weekly classes and gradually begin adding more variety to your diet. This phase also requires weekly medical monitoring and attendance in support group meetings. Behavioral educators will monitor your food journal and help you transition to a healthier lifestyle.

	Phase III – Maintenance: (12 months and Beyond) Our maintenance program begins when your goal weight is reached. Although patients are learning while in the weight loss phase, the experience comes in the maintenance phase. During this phase, patient’s will use the skills they have learned in Phase I and Phase II while enjoying aspects of life including birthdays, holidays, weddings, sadness and joy. Behaviors are learned, hence must be practiced repeatedly to become a part of daily life. Therefore, 12 to 18 months is essential to create long-term behavioral changes to make sure you keep the weight off. Group meetings and behavioral educations are essential during this phase to focus on special issues. Patients can share their challenges and triumphs as they become accountable to themselves.
