The Contour Weight Loss Program There are hundreds of diets, diet pills and even surgeries on the market today.
Many of them will result in weight loss. Many will also result in malnutrition,
muscle wasting, water loss, excess skin, irritability, sleep deprivation, anxiety,
heart disease and excessive weight gain after cessation of the diet.  The Contour Weight Loss Program is not a diet.
It is a lifestyle change designed to circumvent the problems with dieting. Multi-disciplinary Approach
The Contour Weight Loss Programs combines the best of medical science,
nutrition and fitness to ensure safe effective weight loss. This unique program
is the first to provide the support team that includes physicians, plastic
surgeons, aestheticians, personal trainers, nutritionist and a professional
chef to treat all aspects of your healthy new lifestyle. Continuous Support
Continuous medically supervised support by a physician and weight loss
specialist ensures safe effective results with optimal skin care and nutrition.
Lack of support is one of the top reason diets fail. You are not alone. The
Contour Weight Loss Program will provide you with the close personal
encouragement and support you need to never give up on your goals. Excessive Weight Gain Following Diets; The so called “Yo-Yo” Diets
There is no magic pill, potion, surgery or diet which can make you lose weight
and keep it off. The ONLY way to ensure healthy, lasting fat loss is to change
your lifestyle. The Contour Weight Loss Program is designed to provide all
the necessary tools to help you achieve your healthy new lifestyle. Malnutrition
Bariatric Surgery works in two main ways; Reducing the size of the stomach
or bypassing intestinal absorption. A Lap-Band or gastrectomy reduces the
size of the stomach. The stomach, however, is capable of re-expanding
following surgery. Thus, if patients do not change their habits, the stomach
can re-expand back towards its original size. An intestinal bypass
“Reaux-en-Y” bypasses the intestines and limits the absorption of essential
vitamins and minerals.
Malabsorption can result in poor skin elasticity, wound healing, vitamin D
deficiency and chronic diarrhea to name just a few. 
The Contour Weight Loss Program is designed to alter eating habits in
order to maximize nutrition rather than cause malnutrition.
Muscle Wasting and Water Loss
Restriction diets often limit caloric intake. While reducing calorie intake
can result in weight loss, it does not directly result in fat loss. Restricting
calorie intake too severely or for too long can result in starvation and muscle
wasting. The body will break down muscle for energy. A loss of muscle will
result in a decrease in metabolism. A decrease in metabolism will result in
excess fat production.
Even though weight may decrease to a point, the body will increase its fat
percentage and clothes will feel tighter. Once the diet stops the body has
decreased its metabolism and will gain fat at an increased rate. Many diet pills,body wraps and rapid diets rely on water loss and diuretics
to yield a quick weight loss. This results in dehydration and temporary
weight loss; not fat loss. Dehydration damages the skin and other organs
of your body, inhibiting fat metabolism, reducing skin elasticity and strains
the heart. The Contour Weight Loss Program is a medically supervised program designed
to closely and continuously monitor Fat Loss, Fat Percentage, Total Body
Water, and Fat Free Mass to ensure optimization of caloric intake which
ensures the loss of fat, not water or muscle. By optimizing nutrition and
hydration, the skin will contract maximally to help reduce the skin excess
which is often left behind with rapid weight loss. Heart Disease
Research has shown that diets focused on a low glycemic index will reduce
the absorption of sugar and improve diabetes. Restricting “Bad” carbohydrates
has also been shown to reduce cholesterol and Triglycerides. Several diets
prey on Carbohydrate confusion. What’s better? No carb, low carb or
slow-carb? The Contour Weight Loss Program is designed to educate patients
all about carbohydrates. Not all carbohydrates are bad. Optimizing the
amount, timing and type of carbohydrates consumed is not only vital to fat
loss, but crucial for control of blood sugar, cholesterol and heart disease..
