Although individual weight loss may vary, if you follow the prescribed program you can expect to lose 15 to 20 lb per month on average.

Together, we will determine a target weight which will guide our efforts.

Your diet is designed to meet your individual needs and uses foods which you would normally purchase. We do not advocate using pre-packaged meals, etc.

It is essential that you take all the prescribed vitamins and minerals as directed.

You will be required to attend the clinic three times per week initially on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Once the target weight is achieved, you will be required to attend clinic twice weekly for a three month period.

Thereafter you will be required to attend weekly as your weight and health are monitored.

You will be assessed by the clinic staff with every visit and you will also see Dr. Pinto on a regular basis.

You will be required to undergo blood and/or urine testing on a regular basis to assure that your biochemistry remains within normal range.

During your initial consultation, a medical history, examination and education about the program will occur.

Some elements of your program are covered by OHIP and you are required to present a valid health card at every visit.
