It provides a reliable indicator for most people and is used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems.

How are metabolic problems addressed on the Smart for Life™ program?1 out of 4 of the people we see are unable to lose weight because of an undiagnosed metabolic problem. People with slow metabolism often waste time and money on other diets. They never diagnose the thyroid problem or insulin resistance that so often causes slow metabolism. Smart for Life™ physicians identify these problems in approximately 25% of our patients. These problems are then treated at the Smart for Life™ Centers and the clients go on to easily lose weight. To save time and money, when prescribed, medications can be dispensed by our Clinics. Like our vitamins and supplements, most medications are included in our basic fees. What are the Smart Cookie squares and how do they work?The Smart Cookie square features a blend of proprietary protein, fiber and amino acids which are naturally filling and hunger-suppressing. The Smart Cookie squares are all-natural and contain no additives or toxic preservatives like many other diet foods do. They automatically re-train your eating habits to consume six small meals during the day. in the form of the Smart Cookie square ( or muffin, shake, soup or dessert) throughout the day. Combined with adequate water intake, a substantial, healthy evening meal, and the proper nutritional vitamins and supplements, this empowers our clients to reach their goals quickly and safely. Remember, though, Smart for Life™ is not a diet using a Cookie square, but is a successful Weight Loss Center How fast can one lose weight on the Smart for Life™ Weight Loss Centers?A compliant client can expect to lose between 12-15 pounds every four weeks. However, results vary from person to person. Don’t be surprised if you lose more! How do your clients maintain their weight loss?We require you to come into the Clinic for weekly weigh-ins and body composition checks, as well as a monthly doctor consultation. This creates behavior reinforcement. The Smart Cookie squares themselves shift eating behavior so that clients are eating several small, high protein meals each day, which most doctors and nutritionists recommend as the proper way to eat. Additionally, during each visit, we educate you with the most up-to-date scientifically based health information. Once you've reached your goal weight, you have the healthy frame of mind you need to keep the weight off. |
