Dr. Ed Hendricks and his staff at The Center for Weight Management believe that being obese or overweight is a chronic illness. By approaching obesity and being overweight as medically treatable conditions, Dr. Hendricks is able to suggest prescription medications as tools for weight loss. In his experience as a bariatric physician, Dr. Hendricks has found that the use of appetite suppressants is a safe, effective complement to diet plans such as the low carbohydrate diet and the VLCD weight loss program. To learn more about the benefits of taking appetite suppressants, contact our Roseville and Sacramento-area practice today and schedule a private consultation with Dr. Hendricks.
For many patients attempting to lose weight on our diet plans, and even for those trying to maintain their current weight using our maintenance diet, controlling the appetite may be the most difficult hurdle to overcome. Even when a person's diet consists mainly of healthy, low-carbohydrate, low-fat foods, the amount of food he or she eats plays a substantial role in weight loss and weight maintenance. Dieters often find themselves constantly thinking about the food they shouldn't eat and engaging in patterns of ongoing snacking or munching. Appetite suppressants can help ease the influence dieters' appetites have over their thoughts and actions.
With the help of appetite suppressants, prescribed to eligible patients at our Sacramento and Roseville-area practice, dieters can gain control over the illness of obesity or being overweight in a safe way, heightening their chances of lowering or maintaining their weight. The appetite suppressants prescribed to patients of The Center for Weight Management have been trusted by doctors for nearly 50 years. Dr. Hendricks most often prescribes phentermine, a quick-acting, non-habit forming appetite suppressant. If phentermine is ineffective, Dr. Hendricks may suggest alternative appetite suppressants.
Appetite suppressants are not appropriate for all dieters. These prescribed medications should only be used by those who are struggling to cut back on carbohydrate and/or calorie consumption.
During his extensive experience as a bariatric physician, Dr. Hendricks has witnessed the immense help appetite suppressants can provide to dieters. To learn more about the benefits of appetite suppressants, contact his non-surgical weight loss clinic, serving Sacramento and Roseville, today.
