About Our Very Low Carbohydrate Diet
Patients seeking to lose weight at a moderate pace are most often advised to follow the Low Carbohydrate Diet. However, other patients may wish to engage in a bolder, more comprehensive diet plan to shed excess weight at a quicker pace. The Very Low Carbohydrate Diet, the most aggressive of any of the weight loss program options prescribed at our Roseville-area clinic, can be incredibly effective.
The principles of the Very Low Carbohydrate Diet revolve around an optimized combination of carbohydrates, proteins, and essential fats. When patients apply these dietary principles, the body is forced to burn calories that are being stored as excess fat and, with the help of protein supplements, can even protect muscle mass. The VLCD also allows dieters to feel exceptionally energetic and vivacious while experiencing safe, quick weight loss; women typically lose three and a half pounds a week while men, on average, lose four and a half pounds weekly.
Patients who, after a consultation with Dr. Hendricks, decide to go on the VLCD weight loss program must do so under professional medical supervision. Patients on the Very Low Carbohydrate Diet should schedule a weekly appointment with Dr. Hendricks to maintain good health during the course of this diet. The Four Keys to long-term dieting success will also help patients achieve optimal results.
