Feeling Good
We are beginning the between
months of the weight loss calendar – between
dieting to look good in a bathing suit and
taking off post-holiday pounds. Why not put the time to
good use? Weight you lose now will put you ahead of the
curve in January.
The Center for Medical Weight Loss in Mount Pleasant
offers a medically supervised regimen customized for each
patient. Every program begins with a complete body com-
position profile. Then resting
metabolism is calculated to
determine the appropriate daily caloric intake and expen-
diture for healthy weight loss.
“We meet with each patient and discuss everything from
medications to shopping,” explained Dr. Loren Frankel,
the program director. “We have three programs patients
can choose, depending on their motivation and finances.
We have patients who have success with one plan and tran-
sition to another to reach additional goals.”
Yvonne Gregory, an active 58-year-old participant, struggled
to lose weight on her own but did well with the structured pro-
gram. She lost nearly 30 pounds for her high school reunion.
“It is nutritionally balanced so you don’t have to worry
about not getting the important vitamins. This has been a
wonderful thing for me,” Gregory said.
Ari and Christina Buchanan are a typical American fam-
ily: two young children and two full-time jobs. They weren’t
interested in a fad diet, and knowing an experienced physi-
cian was directing their efforts was a comforting thought.
“We learned the strategies together and we watched out
for each other,” said Christina. “We needed a healthier life-
style, and Dr. Frankel’s program took us in that direction.”
The team at the center is available to help participants use
their time wisely, focus their efforts and come out the other end
of the “between” knowing they are healthier and feeling good.
