The medicine is essentially a protein. It’s naturally occurring, but the problem is, over the years, the protein begins to diminish. There was a study done that looked at patients who had gastric bypass surgery. After that surgery, the body was secreting this protein at 10x the amount as they were before surgery. So, really, the body naturally released that protein to control appetite after surgery. So the medicine is naturally occurring and the protein sends a message that you are satisfied so your appetite is reduced and you feel full and satisfied eating a reduced diet.

Absolutely, this brings you back to the ability to feel satisfied eating the portion size that is right for your build. Now, you will lose weight at a dramatic speed. For patients who are larger, we will mandate that they take a multivitamin – not because they aren’t getting the nourishment that they need, but because they are losing weight so rapidly and returning to the diet that will work for them once they achieve their goals. It’s just a recommendation for support.

The protein that we’ve described does the bulk of the work. This is what will cause you to feel full. You know typically you go to the steakhouse and order a big steak and complete the whole thing. With this, you can't out eat this protein so you're going to take a couple of bites and you're going to feel full. That's what we call satiety. But, there are other things that we know that can help on the periphery. For example, we might add B12 to your customized blend to support your metabolism and give you increased energy. We have several custom ways that we blend support in based on your lifestyle to maximize results for each patient.

Like most diets, the higher your BMI and the more weight you need to lose, the more dramatic the pounds lost will be. However, even those with just 20 or 30 pounds to lose see dramatic results rapidly and at a nice consistent rate.
