Weight Loss Programs
Helping you stay healthy
If you’re one of the 62 percent of all Michigan adults who are overweight
or obese, you’ve probably tried plenty of trendy diets (such as the
low-carb craze) to help you lose weight. And they probably didn’t
work.
Stop wasting time with fad diets and take a serious step toward a healthier you. Commit yourself to St. Joseph Mercy Oakland’s (SJMO) physician-designed weight loss program, a complete plan for people who need to lose from 10 pounds to more than 200 pounds of excess weight.
The SJMO Weight Loss Program, located at The Alice Gustafson Center at 44405 Woodward Ave Suite 201, offers dieters a choice of plans, including a very low calorie diet under medical supervision, as well as more moderate options. Research shows that people who lose weight rapidly through medically supervised very low calorie diets losed and keep off more weight long-term than other dieting methods. It’s no fad — it’s medicine.
SJMO offers its weight loss program in partnerships with Health Management Resources (HMR.) HMR is the nation’s leading provider of weight treatment services to the medical community and has helped more than half a million people lose weight and keep it off. If you’re overweight or obese, you’re at an increased risk for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and coronary heart disease. Don’t you deserve better? Reward yourself with a healthier lifestyle.
