Losing weight is easy when you understand how your hormones work. There is only one major hormone in charge of storing body fat: insulin. Therefore, if we can reduce your insulin production, you will lose weight and maintain it in the long run.
The big mistake we have made over the past decades is to promote fats as the bad boy. In fact, fats do not increase your insulin production. Therefore, fats do not make you fat.
Carbohydrates are the main responsible of insulin secretion. Therefore, carbohydrates make you fat
The question is how much carbohydrate should you eat and when?
Everybody has a different sensitivity to carbohydrates
The goal of our therapy is to discover how sensitive are you to carbohydrates adjusting your intake accordingly, while at the same time providing you with enough energy to maintain muscle mass.
Program:
Analysis of food intake, daily habits, time of meals, portion size, favorite foods using a food record. The food record will be reported every night, analyzed, discussed, and recommendations made for the next day.
Analysis of physical activity, duration, intensity, response to exercise using a physical activity log. The log will be reported every night, analyzed, discussed, and recommendations made for the next day.
Regular blood work will be taken into consideration for monitoring and adjusting diet and exercise (blood work must be ordered by your physician. Blood work is not covered by our fees).
Anthropometric measures like waist circumference, waist to hip ratio, BMI, weight, body fat %, arm circumference, etc. will be used for monitoring and adjusting diet and exercise programs.
Qualitative and emotional data reported by you (how are you feeling in terms of energy, relaxation, quality of sleep, flexibility of the diet, timing, personal preferences to food and exercise routines, etc. ) are an essential part of this program. You need to enjoy the process otherwise, it won’t be permanent.
Other programs available online promote rapid weight loss. Their ads say “loss 15 pounds in one month”. On the other hand, we promote slow, steady, permanent weight loss. In order to make a new habit part of your lifestyle, we need to incorporate one change at a time. It takes time for this new change to be part of your daily routine. Once you feel comfortable and enjoy the change, we move to the next one. In addition, this allows us to evaluate if the change works for you or not without being confounded by other changes at the same time.
Establishing rapport with our clients is extremely important. Constant communication is encouraged by any of our social media platforms, email, or phone calls.
We are not a massive system with hundreds of people. We provide an individualized program which limits the number of clients we can serve but improve the overall quality of our service.
The program is available online or in person if you are in Miami.
