Medical supervision

Essential if you are seriously committed to losing weight.   Full assessment of your physical condition may turn up underlying treatable symptoms that often accompany weight gain such as diabetes, cardiovascular risk, hormone imbalances, etc.   

Diet Aids

Many alternatives to standard "diet pills" are available that are FDA approved to assist you to meet your weight loss goals.  Careful consultation with Dr. McLeod will identify which of these will help you.  Chromium polynicotinate may be recommended to  reduce hunger and sugar cravings and is available from the doctor.  Studies show that a supplement of chromium daily along with a moderate diet and exercise program can result in significant weight loss.   To reduce body mass (June 2004 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition), the Houston diet may incorporate CLA supplements into your daily routine.  Prescription aids are also assessed according to need.
