Prospective Metabolic Indicator Study

Participants of a physician-supervised nonsurgical weight management program were observed as they received weekly in-person coaching sessions with licensed clinicians. In-person coaching sessions were focused on educating participants on strategies to manage their weight and adopt a healthy lifestyle. Prescribed diets were individualized based on each participant's behavior, level of physical activity, and total energy expenditure. Supplements, appetite suppressant medications, and compounded injections were used to control appetite and/or boost energy during a period of low-caloric intake. The program was generally divided into three phases: Acute, Short-Term Maintenance, and Wellness.
