Individualized Weight Loss Programs
Stressful careers, busy family life, demands on your time, conflicting information… all make losing weight difficult. Everyone one of Dr. Lipman’s patients has different needs and concerns. He understands these obstacles. He works with you on an individual basis to ensure that you get the personal care you need and results to help you achieve your goals. Dr. Lipman performs a full endocrinologic and nutritional evaluation on every patient.
Dr. Lipman’s weight loss programs are fast, safe, and effective. Changes in how and what you eat are part of the methods used to lose weight and to maintain that weight loss. It is a natural, well-balanced plan with both vitamin and mineral supplements ensuring your body can maintain its metabolism as it seeks a new, healthier weight.
When it comes to weight loss, Dr. Lipman realizes that no two people are the same. Every individual has different eating habits, food likes and dislikes, and does better when the weight loss plan is personalized. He offers 6 weight loss programs depending on the individual preferences.
Miami Diet Plan
The Miami Diet Plan is unlike any other diet program you have ever tried. It’s based on strategies I have used to help thousands of patients achieve healthy weight and keep it off. No complicated points, no constant counting, no expensive special meals; just steady, proven shedding of those extra pounds.
800 Calorie HCG Diet Plan
My HCG Diet is all about losing shedding pounds safely. This custom plan is even safe for people with medical problems. That means no strain on your body, no hunger, and no cravings. More importantly, your metabolism will not slow down – you will lose weight almost constantly while on the diet.
Keto Diet Plan
Dr. Lipman’s Keto Diet eliminates cravings and hunger through the direct effects of ketones on appetite centers. You will experience quick results and rapid weight loss as stored fat becomes a source of energy and burns quickly. Progress monitoring is easy, with daily ketone testing to ensure you are in ketosis.
2 Day a Week Diet Plan
It’s easy to lose 2 lbs per week or more by dieting only two days a week. On Mondays and Thursdays this is a reduced calorie, low carb diet. For the rest of the week, you can eat what you want! This diet is NOT for everyone! If you do not like restricting your foods – especially on the weekends – and you can make huge changes from one day to another, the 2 Day a Week Diet Plan may be right for you.
Vegetarian & Vegan Diet Plan
Weight loss diets for vegetarians have become very popular in South Florida, especially with the South Beach crowd that is into organic and “healthy” food and lifestyles. Even for vegans that eat large amounts of carbohydrates, weight loss does not have to be difficult. We will help you balance your diet, find low calorie non-animal protein sources, and avoid saturated fats.
Weight Loss for Children & Teens
Overweight teens become overweight adults, which puts them at high risk for developing other health problems. We understand weight can be a difficult subject for children and their parents, and we’re here to help. Dr. Lipman has helped many teens and older children that are overweight as part of his family obesity plan. When treating one or more of the overweight parents, teens and older children in the family are encouraged to participate in dietary changes.
We Care About Our Community
Overweight and obesity is a public health crisis. As we help patients on the road to wellness, we encourage everyone to get involved in their local community.
