Full Meal Replacement Program

Safely lose 2-7 pounds per week until you reach your weight loss goal

A full meal replacement program uses a nutritionally complete, portion controlled meal replacement formula that provides all of the nutrition you require to safely lose weight. Using a combination of shakes, soups, and bars, we replace your normal meals with smaller, more frequent meals that eliminate feelings of hunger and are reported by most patients to be easy to adhere to.

How Long Does it Take?

A traditional full meal replacement program lasts 18 weeks.  The first 12 weeks are the active weight loss phase during which you will consume five or more shakes, snack bars and soups each day. During the last 6 weeks of the program, you will slowly transition back to a conventional foods diet. The exact duration depends on the amount of weight you wish to lose, your starting weight, and any existing medical conditions that you may have. Weight loss from 50 to 150 pounds is often seen using this program.

What to Expect

Although some people are skeptical about their ability to follow a full meal replacement diet, adjusting to this way of eating typically only takes about one week. Dr. Evans may prescribe appetite control medications to assist you through the initial first few days of the program. Afterward, many patients report they feel more energetic than they have for a long time.

Because of the large amount of weight loss possible with a complete meal replacement program, Dr. Evans will also monitor your health each week and adjust the doses of any   blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol-regulating medications you are currently taking as you lose weight. Most people who participate in a full formula diet are able to significantly reduce and, in many cases, eliminate medications used to treat weight-related diseases as they achieve a healthier weight.
