Welcome to Dr. K’s Weight Control Program
This is a 12 session, 3-month behavioral change program that will help you take control of your weight by eating mindfully and will improve your overall health: mind, body, and spirit! Our approach to medical weight control is comparable to treatment of other chronic diseases such as diabetes or high blood pressure and will be individualized to fit your needs. Success is dependent on many factors, including genetics, other health conditions, medication use, and your personal goals for long-term treatment.
Goals:
12-week individual meetings
Research based behavioral counseling (USPSTF Recommendations)
Using 5As Behavioral Change Model (Ask, Assess, Advise, Agree, Assist)
Using SMART GOALS (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timely)
Promoting 5-10% weight loss over 6-12 months
Promoting mindful eating
Promoting mental, physical, and spiritual self-care
Our staff promises to provide compassionate care that is non-judgmental and sensitive to your needs. As healthcare providers, we measure success not only by “pounds lost” but also by improvements in your laboratory work, vital signs, body composition, other chronic diseases, medical status, and quality of life.
Weight control includes weight loss and maintenance, and we recognize this is a challenging, long-term endeavor. Along your journey, we will celebrate your successes and support you during difficult times. Please don’t hesitate to ask us questions and share with us any struggles you may have. For some patients, there may be many attempts at weight loss before lasting success is found, but we are committed to helping you find your success!
