Transcript Average weight loss for women in CMWL

The Largest Network of Weight Loss
Physicians in the Country
With over 450 centers in 46 states
CMWL doctors make all the difference.
• 99% of CMWL patients that follow the program lose weight*
• 99% of patients keep off weight at 1 year*
*Based on a stratified sample of 349 patients over a six-year period. Patients must have remained on the program for a minimum of 28 days and be monitored with at least two
physician visits within first 31 days to be included in the study. A variety of nutritional meal replacements were used. 99% of the patients that followed the CMWL program,
including a low calorie diet and individual counseling with CMWL physicians, from one month up to a year, weighed less at their last weigh-in than their starting weight.
Our physician-directed, non-surgical program offers strategies
unavailable to commercial weight loss programs. Only a medical doctor
can customize a plan based on your unique metabolism, hormonal
disorders, medication and other physical weight loss issues.
Why do 99% of people who go through
the program lose weight?
Maybe its because of the personalized plan their doctor designs for them.
Or could it be the motivational support they get from their doctors to
achieve their goals?
Each medical weight loss physician is committed to helping you lose
weight quickly and safely but, most importantly, to helping you keep the
weight off long term.
Whether you want to lose 10 or 100 pounds,
CMWL has a customized solution for you.

There are a host of factors that can
contribute to unhealthy fat accumulation
ranging from genetic factors, individual
metabolism, diseases and medications to
cultural influences and even stress and
lack of sleep.
•
One tool that doctors use to classify weight
is the body mass index (BMI). The BMI is
the ratio of weight to the square of height
(measured in kilos and meters).
•
A person is categorized as “obese” when
the BMI hits 30 and over or is 30-40
pounds overweight.

•
Waist circumference—an
expanding phenomena in the
U.S.—is another tool used to
determine risk for disease.
•
A waistline larger than 40 inches
for men and 35 inches for women
is considered unhealthy and a risk
factor for disease.
•
Obesity is the combination of genetics
and environment contributing to dietary
and exercise habits.
•
Consuming more calories than you
burn causes an “energy imbalance”
and the accumulation of fat is not
always simply a behavioral issue.
•
Obesity is a disease in which excess
body fat has accumulated to such an
extent that health may be negatively
affected.
Obesity
generates more
chronic health
problems than
smoking or heavy
alcohol use.

• Overweight and obesity are responsible
for over 300,000 deaths/yr*.
• Second only to smoking for deaths as
most preventable cause of death in US.
• 64% of adults are overweight or obese.
• Obesity rates have tripled over
the last 30 years.

•
In response to the dramatic increase in obesity, Americans are searching
for effective, long-term remedies
• An estimated 60 million Americans go on some form of diet each year
• Over $50 billion a year is spent on diets, pills and other dietary products
•
Unfortunately, most weight loss programs are ineffective at generating longterm, sustainable results
• Programs tend to be good at initial weight loss, but lack appropriate
tools and counseling to generate sustainable results
• Research has shown 95% of those who lose weight eventually gain it
back within three years
Achieve early success and
consistent healthy weight loss
• The average weight loss is 10
pounds in the first 2 weeks.
• The average weight loss is 31
pounds in 12 weeks.

Our metabolism slows due to muscle loss:
As we age, the body burns less calories. One reason for this
is that our muscle mass tends to decrease due to hormonal
changes as well as changes in exercise habits. Muscle cells
burn 3X more calories than fat cells, therefore if we have less
muscle mass, we burn fewer calories. If we continue to eat
the same amount of calories as we have in the past, the body
stores those excess calories as body fat. This decrease in
burning calories is what we typically refer to as a slowdown in
our metabolism.
Most women don’t realize that at menopause the
body is preprogrammed to gain fat under the
skin and around the organs in the abdomen,
slowing down metabolism.
The type of fat that collects around the belly and
abdomen makes women more prone to diabetes,
high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart
disease, stroke and certain types of cancer.
Women who gain in excess of 20 lbs after
menopause increase their breast cancer risk by
nearly 20%. At the same time, women who lose
weight after menopause may significantly reduce
their risk.
Also, as the estrogen in a woman’s body
decrease, the metabolism begins to further
slow down. This happens at a rate of about
5% every ten years. If you were able to
consume 2400 calories a day when you were
30 and not gain a pound, by the time you are
50 your daily calorie intake should drop down
closer to 2100 to avoid weight gain.
When our estrogen levels are normal, they act
to suppress the appetite. During menopause,
the declining estrogen can actually whet a
woman’s appetite.
Average weight loss for women in CMWL
We used advanced body composition technology to
ensure and monitor that weight is being lost from fat,
not just water and muscle, giving women the best
chance of achieving long-term weight loss success.
Our success rate speaks for itself: The average
weight loss for women in our program is 8 pounds
in two weeks.
In addition, 100% of our patients lose 5% of their
bodyweight in three weeks, thereby lowering their
risk for diseases like cancer and diabetes.
