Weight Loss

What is involved in a weight-loss program?

Novell Primary Care and Weight Loss give you the tools you need to reinvent your existing lifestyle and achieve your weight-loss goals. Penelope has extensive knowledge and experience in customizing treatment plans that focus on your unique needs and expected results.

To help you lose weight safely and effectively, she uses a combination of appetite suppressants, lipotropic injections, and a customized meal plan to help you lose excess weight and improve your overall health.

Your medically supervised weight loss program also focuses on lifestyle and dietary changes you need to make to maintain results. 

How fast can I lose weight?

Realistic weight loss is a gradual process – a marathon rather than a sprint. While everyone is different, you can expect to lose an average of two pounds a week following the program. Over time, these lost pounds add up, and many people achieve a 24-pound weight loss in just three months.

Your Novell Primary Care and Weight Loss provider can discuss your expected weight loss during your initial consultation. At that time, your physician also performs a comprehensive physical exam and review of your medical history to determine the most effective way for you to lose weight.

Once you begin your program, weight typically comes off fast. Many people lose up to 15 pounds in the first few weeks before they hit a plateau. Your provider continues to work with you on diet and exercise suggestions to help you overcome the plateau and continue losing weight successfully.

Can I lose belly fat on a weight-loss program?

Losing belly fat is possible if you burn more calories a day than you take in. Novell Primary Care and Weight Loss works with you to help you lose stubborn fat on your belly, hips, and thighs through a healthy eating plan and fitness regimen.

When you successfully lose your belly fat, the providers can continue working with you on a body transformation plan to help you build muscle while maintaining a healthy body weight. This typically involves a regimen of resistance training and more aggressive exercises, such as a CrossFit® workout.
