Dr. Robert Fortino

Treatment Plan:

We will work with each patient individually to customize a program consisting of any or all of the following:

-Appropriate eating guidelines – not a “fad” diet
-Correct Vitamins and Supplements
-Exercise recommendations according to your needs
-Lab/Blood work/EKG if necessary
-Discussing the benefits, risks, advantages and disadvantages of various medication used in --weight management programs
-On going communications and monitoring
-Success through Maintenance!

The weight reduction diets that we have found to be most successful are high in protein, low in carbohydrates, and low in fat/salt. A high protein diet will maintain lean body mass. Preserving lean body mass will result in a higher metabolic rate and will replenish your body’s immediate energy needs.
