Personal Programs
All clients are required to complete a client profile and health registration and return it prior to their consultation. Receiving the forms in advance is essential in providing our weight loss professionals with necessary medical and health history information to start clients on an individualized diet regimen on the initial visit. The first center visit will involve the client undergoing a brief orientation to the program. Weight loss professionals will be collecting: anthropometrical data (height, weight, BIA/body composition), and dietary data (weight history, current eating habits, food preferences).

What Constitutes A State-Of-The-Art Weight Loss Facility?
In the medical literature, obesity is referred to as a "multifactorial disorder". This means that there is no single cause for overweight or obesity. Rather, it is a combination of genetic, metabolic, psychosocial, environmental and behavioral factors. Therefore, no single scheme or technique for weight loss will be successful in all overweight individuals. Rather, a truly comprehensive program must include a variety of modalities and techniques. Weight Loss clients care must be individualized, so that the techniques and resources most likely to be successful in any given client are employed. A state-of-the-art program should also continually analyze its own results and success rates as well as those of others in order to modify and constantly improve its results. It must, of course, adhere to the first principle of the Hippocratic Oath: "Above all do no harm."
Authorities in the field of obesity as well as governmental health agencies specify that state-of-the-art weight loss programs should include, in the minimum, a reduced caloric intake, physical activity promotion and a behavior modification component. Because of the high rate of recidivism and weight regain, a comprehensive program must also include an excellent long-term maintenance modality.
The MWLS program in port St. Lucie one of the few facilities in the south Florida fulfilling all of these criteria and therefore a state-of-the art weight loss facility!
