A word on meal replacements: Lifelong successful weight management requires a multi-faceted approach. While "tools" such as meal replacements have been shown to be helpful for weigh loss, they are ineffective for sustained weight loss when used on their own. For sustainable weight loss, it is essential to receive addition education and support which is why we offer a research-based, multi-faceted medical and behavioral approach to weight management.
