A physician-supervised, four-phase weight loss program in Birmingham, AL, built around your body, your lifestyle, and your long-term success. No contracts. No guesswork.
For best results, patients commit to all four phases of the program. Think of it as one long road trip.
“Think of the program as one long stretch of highway where the rules change along the way, but the road keeps going. There's a definite starting point, but an ambiguous finish line, because weight management is a lifelong process.”
During your initial consultation, we'll determine which weight loss program would be most conducive to your lifestyle.
Each phase builds on the last: from evaluation to active loss to adaptation to a lifetime of maintenance.
The medical evaluation includes a comprehensive assessment to ensure the program is safe and optimized for your body.
Patients begin to learn and practice weight management skills with the help of our staff. This is the active weight loss stage.
Once you reach your goal weight, the journey doesn't end. This phase transitions you back to sustainable, real-food eating.
Staying engaged in a structured maintenance program is essential for preventing relapse. The S.T.A.R. Plan keeps you on track, for life.
During your initial consultation, we'll determine which program best fits your lifestyle and goals. No contracts, no sign-up fees, and you can change programs as needed.
