About our Weight Loss Program

Losing weight is a  complex, multi-faceted process having to do with positive self-image, healthy lifestyle,  health promoting diet, and the correct use of supplementation. Relying on only one of these factors may account for the reason why only 5% of all dieters are able to keep excess weight off. 

The weight management program at the Delmar Wellness Center provides sound advice on all of the lifestyle factors that result in normalization of weight.

• How exercise should be integrated into a weight loss program.
• Products for weight loss and purification only available through  trained professionals.
• Ongoing support and direction to understand how to live healthy.
• Specific advice on the use of botanical medicines where there is  an overlay of dysfunction (such as chronic fatigue syndrome, low thyroid function, adrenal dysfunction).

Any overlay of dysfunction is a situation where you have a disease  process (e.g., diabetes) or symptom syndrome (such as IBS or Chronic  Fatigue) associated with a weight problem. Losing weight cannot and  should not be considered alone in these cases - weight loss must be addressed at the same time as these other problems to avoid a worsening of the condition brought on by restricted  caloric intake.

    •     The benefits of a low carbohydrate diet.
    •     Understanding good fats and bad fats.
    •     The difference between slow absorbing carbs and fast absorbing carbs




The core of the diet programs focuses on the following factors:

    •     Assessment of the weight loss problem
    •     Setting Goals
    •     Coaching to overcome barriers
    •     Deciding on a strategy that works

When necessary, therapeutic nutrition may also be employed to address  organ dysfunction, which may be contributing to weight gain. The most  common problems are related to fluid retention and unreleased body  toxicity due to sluggish kidneys and liver.

 The above factors (assessment, goals, coaching, & strategy) combined with therapeutic nutrition can  help you achieve weight loss without putting your health at risk with the use of questionable products made from dubious chemical concoctions  or outright dangerous ingredients found in so many  commercial  "fasting" products; such as ephedra.

 The difference between using whole food weight products and commercial diet program products is  your health. Both products restrict calories by eliminating one or two meals, however, fasting products that rely on synthetic  vitamins and processed protein isolates are treated as xenobiotics  (foreign compounds) by the body and are rejected. The end result of  this kind of weight loss is cellular starvation of vital nutrient  complexes, which leave the body in a run-down condition. This sets  the stage for gaining the weight back because of  altered endocrine set points and depleted nutritional stores.

Whole foods eliminate this problem because they are not  processed, but remain in the original unprocessed state as they are found in  nature. The body recognizes this kind of nutrition and uses it to feed  cells while shedding unnecessary fat stores leaving the body restored  and rejuvenated.

Attaining ideal weight is a reasonable and do-able task  when "broken-down" to clearly defined components of  "what to do" linked with coaching and accountability. If what  you've read makes sense - you owe it to yourself to get started.
