Our 4-Phase Weight Loss Approach
Dr. Robertson has refined a 4-phase weight loss process that shows consistent and measurable weight loss. This approach introduces patients to a special diet called The Ideal Protein Diet which guides patients through the 4 phases in this order:
Phase 1: Weight Loss
Phase 1 focuses on achieving rapid weight loss in order to get patients to their ideal body weight.
This phase is broken down into five steps:
- Consultation: to begin phase 1, you will have a meeting with Dr. Robertson to discuss your goals, potential challenges, and to create a meal plan for the rest of the phases.
- Introducing the diet: the next step is to introduce your new diet into your lifestyle. The diet that you will be following will be high in protein and will be in accordance with the meal plan that you and Dr. Robertson have decided on together.
- Results tracking: each week, you will come into the clinic for a brief meeting, weighing, and measuring.
- Nutrition & health education: every day of phase 1 you will watch a short, educational video that discusses health and nutrition.
- Screening for potential health issues: Dr. Robertson will do routine checking to ensure that your body is functioning optimally and to rule out the possibility of potential health issues that could be hindering your success.
Phase 2: Digestive Health Focus
Beginning Phase 2, you will be at your optimal weight and your focus will then shift to stabilizing your diet and digestion. You will introduce new wholesome foods into your diet and will become an expert on nutrition fundamentals.
Phase 3: Pre-Stabilization
Now that your digestion and diet have stabilized, it’s time to help you transition to a diet that will help you maintain your ideal weight.
During this phase, carbs will be reintroduced to your diet and you will focus on increasing your intake of whole foods.
Phase 4: Maintenance
The final and longest stage lasts for an entire year and focuses on maintaining a healthy lifestyle with healthy eating habits. This phase is meant to set you up for a lifetime of maintaining a healthy weight.
Some of the main focuses of Phase 4 include:
- Adequate protein intake
- Limiting carbs & fat
- Learning to indulge in a healthy way (having weekly “treat” day)
Once the maintenance phase is complete, you should be in a stable, healthy place with a balanced weight.
