Our Three Phase Approach to Weight Loss
Phase 1: Weight Loss
Duration: 2–12 months
Your LeanMD Care Team will utilize all available medical tools to help curb your appetite and optimize your metabolism. On average, patients lose 10–15 pounds in the first month and 30 pounds in three months.
You may choose one of the following options, depending on your individual needs and schedule:
A. Monthly Pre-Paid Plan
This choice requires weekly in-office visits to receive an optional lipo B12 injection and a one-month supply of prescription appetite suppressants. You will also receive additional face-to-face nutrition counseling and support during your visit.
B. Flexible Schedule with Virtual Option
This choice gives the option of alternating between in-office visits and virtual visits by telephone. You will be required to get a LeanMD Wireless e-Scale to virtually monitor weight twice per month. Any in-office visits will include an optional lipo B12 injection and a one-month supply of prescription appetite suppressants, as well as additional face-to-face nutrition counseling and support.
Phase 2: Transition
Duration: 3–5 weeks
It is imperative to go through a proper transition to stabilize your new weight after all of your hard work during the weight loss phase. With a scientific analysis of your basal metabolic rate, we will help you to taper off of any appetite suppressant medication, adjust macronutrient ratios, increase calorie intake and physical activity, and adapt to a new lifestyle.
Phase 3: Sustainable Weight Loss
Duration: 12 months
The Sustainable Loss Membership Program will provide ongoing support and guidance to ensure long-term success for our LeanMD patients.
The period immediately following weight loss is at the highest risk of relapse, so the LeanMD Care Team is prepared to partner with you and overcome the challenges involving with staying on track and maintaining your new lifestyle.

Why Will This Diet Work Better Than Other Diets I Have Tried Before?
Many individuals have difficulty maintaining their weight once it is lost. Our LeanMD program includes a transition phase in which we gradually and carefully adjust your calories and macronutrient ratios according to your specific needs. This gives your body a chance to adjust and avoid rebounding once the flow of calories increases.
In addition, the chances of sustaining your new weight long term will be vastly improved if you have support. Our program is specifically designed to provide an easy, built-in system of accountability and support, plus tools and techniques to ensure your ongoing success.
What Happens If I Do Gain Weight? Can I Restart the Program?
Yes, your body wasn’t designed to survive indefinitely on special foods or will power. We believe that a sustainable diet and lifestyle changes are the only way to succeed in maintaining your weight loss and your health. If you do gain weight over time, we can always restart you on the program to help you get back on track.
Can I Participate in the Program if I Have Medical Conditions Like Diabetes, Hypertension or Heart Disease?

Many of our patients with these conditions end up with better laboratory numbers and often require less medication to control their chronic conditions.

If I Have a Chronic Health Condition, Can I Still Take the Appetite Suppressant?
Yes, however this will be determined by the medical provider at the time of your initial consultation.
Will I Have to Exercise to Lose the Weight?

After you achieve your goal weight, our team can design an exercise program tailored to your interest and lifestyle if you prefer.
