FAQ's
Is the Complete Wellness Program open to anyone?
Anyone can participate who is interested in losing weight can participate in the weight loss program, however, there are guidelines that determine who can receive prescription appetite suppressants and hormonal injections based on one’s BMI and medical history.
What is the diet like?
Our diet is not really a “diet” at all. It is essentially a set of “guidelines” to direct you to make the proper food choices to fuel your metabolism and attack the fat on your body. It is a real food approach that is suitable for any lifestyle. The guidelines direct you through meal planning, food choices and even eating out in restaurants. You will eat real foods with a few restrictions that are temporary. As you reach your goals, certain foods will be reintroduced with the proper understanding of how to manage those foods properly to keep the metabolism strong and to prevent your body from being able to build fat. Once you reach your weight loss goal, you will command all of the foods with the knowledge of how to effectively manage the foods to prevent your body from building fat again.
Will I have to exercise?
Exercise is not only essential to weight loss, it is essential to Health. We will not require you to train like you are going to run a marathon and you will not have to join a gym. However, we will direct you when to incorporate “activity” into your program to maintain consistent results. Basically you will be directed to walk a certain amount of time, for a certain number of days to assist your fueled metabolism in its’ fat burning efforts.
Do I have to use nutritional or dietary supplements?
Our comprehensive Program incorporates two custom protein supplements daily. Our products are formulated specifically for our program. Our shakes and bars assist in the delivery of the proper nutrition to fuel the metabolism, increase your energy, preserve lean body mass, help control hunger and increase success during weight loss. Our great tasting products include a variety of custom Protein Bars and Shakes that are exclusive to Complete Clinics and are not available in stores. They are offered at prices that are very competitive to other products of comparable quality.
Does your office use appetite suppressants?
Complete Clinics uses only FDA approved prescription appetite suppressants. The anorectic class of drugs is well established for product safety. Patients who receive any medication are screened individually for their current and past health history, as well as other medications that may be taking that would be contraindicated for appetite suppressant therapy.
Although prescription appetite suppressants are recommended in our comprehensive program, the use of any medication is completely optional.
Are there any serious side-effects associated with taking appetite suppressants?
As with any medication, mild to moderate side-effects can occur. The side effects associated with prescription appetite suppressants are typically mild and temporary. Most side-effects can be managed with a little time, a reduced dose or by simply changing the medication.
What is hCG?
HCG is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. It is a natural hormone that is excreted during pregnancy. HCG is not responsible for weight loss alone. It is used synergistically in conjunction with our protocols to assist in the mobilization of fat. Studies using a group following a specific diet and a second group following the same diet and HCG therapy found little difference in total weight loss between the groups but noted a significant reduction of inches with the group that included HCG protocols.
*The FDA has not approved the use of hCG for weight loss.
Although hCG injections are recommended for optimal results in our comprehensive program, the use of any medication is completely optional.
