Q: |
|
Is an all-liquid diet healthy? |
|
A: |
|
All-liquid diets are not necessarily healthy. However, our nutritionally complete shakes are a healthy, decision-free way of losing weight. The all-liquid diet option is only available to our in clinic patients. For those on such a plan, we are able to closely monitor their progress, detect medical complications and treat them as needed.

Q: |
|
I've heard so much about the Atkin's and South Beach diets. Why should I choose this diet over either of those? |
|
A: |
|
Our programs are sustainable. The skills and behaviors you learn in our program can be taken away and used for the rest of your life. We stay away from fads and gimmicks and only focus on strategies that are proven to work. We deliver a balanced diet rather than an "all of this" or "none of that" approach. Most importantly, you will not go hungry while on this diet as we have a program philosophy that "MORE IS BETTER™!" Furthermore, we incorporate physical activity into all of our programs. Lastly, we offer a much higher level of support, accountability, structure and success (both long and short term). All in all, our diet programs will not only help you lose weight, they will also improve your health by providing you with the complete nutrition you need; your body will celebrate!

Q: |
|
My whole family is overweight and we all struggle with weight loss. It seems to me that obesity is genetic. Is this true? |
|
A: |
|
There is a genetic component to weight loss, as there is for most chronic diseases. Similarly, we often engage in the same behaviors and eat the same foods as our families making it difficult to differentiate between how much is genetic and how much is changeable. Making different choices about what you eat and do can have a dramatic effect on your weight and health. At CFHWM, we teach you to lose weight and maintain a healthier weight using tools that can help you overcome this disadvantage.
