Dr. Sattele’s Rapid Weight Loss Program

All our programs are month-to-month and based on a 4-week time frame. You can stop any time you like and there is no contract. When you are finished losing weight, we have several maintenance program options for you to choose from.

We do not accept insurance at our offices. We do, however, accept flex spending or health savings cards.

Absolutely, this is the best diet for diabetic patients! Almost all Type II Diabetic patients can eliminate insulin and oral diabetic medications if following the diet correctly.  Usually within as little as 4 days, our patients will have normal blood sugars and be off all diabetic medications!  Fasting blood sugars usually run between 90 and 120 mg/dl.

No. Nothing should be consumed 1 hour before or 1 hour after taking your thyroid medication except water.  The medications we use will not interfere with your thyroid medication if taken correctly.

Yes! Obesity is a common factor that can lead to high blood pressure. Studies show that just 10 lbs. of weight loss can lower your blood pressure 20-30 points!  Most patients can come off all blood pressure medications with proper weight loss.

Results vary, but when combined with healthy lifestyle changes, most patients lose between 1 and 2 pounds per week once they reach their effective maintenance dose.

Not necessarily. Our diet will work for every patient, every time, as long as you follow it correctly.

Yes. We can adjust the diet for anyone, and we have had many vegetarian/vegan patients over the years who have been very successful.

We have several different medication/injection options available and will help find the best combination for you based on your needs and current situation e.g. your health history, medications etc.

Our program price includes the medication(s) and injections that you receive. You do not need to go to the pharmacy.

Most patients notice reduced appetite and cravings within the first one to two weeks. Visible weight loss typically begins between weeks three and six, with results accelerating as the dose is titrated upward.

We expect you to cheat a little on special occasions.  Just do well on the other days and you will still have a great month!

Caffeine can slow your weight loss.  We ask that you limit caffeine to one caffeinated beverage a day or less.  You may need to wean your caffeine intake gradually over a week or two so that you do not get headaches.

Yes, you can.  Our diet consists of real foods. Just be careful to make the right selections and watch your portion size. Our program will help guide you as to which foods to choose.

Not unless you are overeating.  We will repeat the body composition testing when you are finished and tell you exactly how many calories and carbs you can eat per day so that you will not gain weight. If you do not overeat, you will not gain fat.  This number of calories will vary from person to person so make sure you come in for that final visit so we can repeat the BIA testing and go over the results with you.
