Simple Sustainable Personalized Medical Weight Loss
Simple Sustainable Personalized Medical Weight Loss
Kathy Goodman Creator of THE WHOLE HEALTH PLAN &
Each 'Weigh-In Consult' includes refills of bariatric Rx medication & vitamin supplements. Together we review your medication options, types, directions (Rx timing is as important as the Rx type) etc. The medication you used to accelerate your first 20 pounds of weight loss, might be not be as effective for your next 15 pounds of weight loss. Many of the bariatric medications available at Weigh-Less have been used in the U.S.A. 50+ years, so we have evidence of their effectiveness, excellent results & no long term effects.
'D.I.Y.', Do it yourself, appointments are available for Weigh-Less Members who prefer to pick up their Rx refill without a medication consultation or confirmation of weight loss. Your Rx refill will be prepared & available for pickup without consult, weigh- in or assessment (refills available: 2 - 4 weeks or 2 - 3 months) D.I.Y. Plans include a Weigh-Less Weight Tracker. If your weight loss is less than expected or if your weight plateaus: we suggest you schedule a Medication Consultation (includes 2-3 weeks Rx & 2 weekly follow up consultations to confirm improved weight loss).
What makes us different is our attention to detail, we understand; what worked for YOU last week, last month or last year, might not work as well this week.
We suggest confirming adequate weight loss by weighing-in every 1-2 weeks before starting your next Rx prescription & if you notice your weight loss is less than expected or has slowed down consider changing your medication type or directions. We believe it is a waste of your time & your money to take a medication for weeks or months just because you have 6 or 12 refills of the medication. Medication is included in your consult, this means you are not charged extra when an Rx is changed to a more expensive prescription.
For those of you who have insurance, you may find your insurance company will reimburse you for the cost of your consult (most insurance companies will not reimburse the cost of the Bariatric RX, that's okay because you received your Rx at no extra charge!)
Providing you with Personalized Medical Weight Loss requires experience & time. We enjoy watching you smile as you step on the scale each week, surprised you've lost more weight.
Foods found in the frozen food section have lower sodium (salt) content than other Foods in the supermarket. Because Salt lowers freezing temperature, salt is removed from Frozen Foods to avoid the defrosting process.
Did you know that fruits & vegetables have more nutritional value while they are in season, than any other time of the year? Fruits & vegetables in the frozen food section are quickly Frozen while they are in season, but fruits & vegetables in produce section may have been picked while in season OR they have been picked out of season (when they are not as nutritious).
Have you lost weight on a diet which required you eat or avoid carbs, ketos, grapefruits or cabbage soup? After you stopped eating 'only proteins' or cabbage soup, did you find (re-gain) your lost weight? We believe if you want your lost weight to be sustainable, you must include your favorite options & choices of what you eat each day. Most supermarkets offer over100+ different meals, ice cream ,soups in the frozen food section, all less than 500 calories. We encourage you to try different foods each week (return those you did not enjoy) then add these to your "favorites list".
The price of a frozen meal is often far less than the cost of purchasing ingredients needed to cook a ' home cooked ' meal from scratch.
Another convenience of Frozen prepared meals is not having to wait long to eat when you are feeling hungry.
I often snacked on 600 - 1,200 calories before dinner, while snacking on 4-8 spoonfuls of peanut butter (not realizing each spoonful contained 140+ calories) while preparing & cooking dinner. I always felt 'starving' during that time (7:00 PM is the start of my 3-N.H.H.). Now we eat 5 minutes after choosing what to eat.
When we cook from recipes we often have leftovers of foods required in the recipe. When enjoying frozen meals, leftovers are rare. No more guilt nor feeling badly about wasting food or throwing away leftovers or 'finishing everything on our plate'
Now each family member can eat whatever we are in the mood to eat. Frozen meals allow for each of us to eat what we are in the mood to eat, without having to cook 2 or 3 different dinners. When accurately adding calories found in recipes It becomes obvious most home-cooked meals usually contain over 500 calories per serving.
Some frozen meals taste better when cooked in an air-fryer than in a microwave.Frozen Foods which are enjoyed when crispy (pizza, French fries, fish sticks) can be cooked in an air fryer as quickly as when cooked in microwave. For this reason, famous chefs are now producing new frozen meal options, adding 25+ additional choices, which cook quickly, at half the price of ingredients needed to home-cook these meals.
Most frozen meals cook in less than 5 minutes, allowing us to cook a another meal if we are still feeling hungry after eating our first meal ( or adding any other snacks found in our freezer, such as ice cream or soup)
Purchase new meals weekly. Pick up a couple new frozen foods, if you find they're not as tasty as you expected, don't eat it. Instead cook a different meal & return the box containing the meal you did not enjoy. Stop eating foods you do not enjoy
Have fun with 150's & 350's... Invite family to "Pizza Night" or "Lasagna Night". Compare different frozen pizzas or lasagnas to find those you each find tastiest . Cook 4-5 different pizzas, one for each family member. Each of you enjoy a couple bites, than move the pizza to the person on your right. Each of you score (from 1-5) how tasty you found the pizza. Now that we are eating only what we like ( instead of finishing it because we were taught 'not to waste food') we can each have different menus of our favorite foods).

NATURE vs NURTURE
3-N.H.H. vs O.P.S.
NATURE Our circadian rhythm is our biological time clock. It signals us to perform daily functions such as sleeping, eating, drinking, etc each day.
Our biological signals occurs at the same time every day they do not change when we wake up late or eat a big lunch or forget breakfast.
This signal makes us FEEL very hungry, at the same time each day.
This signal
Trust NATURE
Question NURTURE
NATURE reminds us when to eat by sending 'hunger signals' which makes us feel 'starving' each day, at approximately the same time.
NURTURE is the reason we add thousands of calories while we are not feeling hungry. Nurture is what & how we are taught to eat.
Examples of the origin of our NURTURE calories: Don't waste food, don't skip meals, eat more protein, foods label
