Weight loss is the single most powerful strategy for improving your health and wellbeing. Being at your right weight lowers your blood pressure, your blood sugar, and systemic inflammation. It also improves your immune response and slows down age-related cognitive impairment. Dr. Richard Kowal, a licensed chiropractor and nutritionist, has been helping people lose weight quickly and safely for more than 25 years at his New York City practice, located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. To get started, contact the office by phone or online today.
Dr. Kowal is a licensed nutritionist who has been helping people meet their weight goals for more than 25 years. Whether you need to lose 200 or more pounds or are struggling to drop the last 15 pounds, you’re a good candidate for Dr. Kowal’s weight loss program.
His program is especially beneficial for anyone struggling with Type 2 Diabetes and those who can’t seem to lose weight even while on a generally good diet.
You don’t even need to be in New York to work with Dr. Kowal on weight-loss. In most cases, he works with you by phone or Zoom to help you reach your goals.
Dr. Kowal’s weight-loss program is a modified meal replacement program adapted from the renowned Johns Hopkins Weight Management Center. We use the same protocol and the same portion-controlled meal replacements.
During the active weight-loss phase of the program, you’ll have five 100-calorie portion-controlled meal replacements and one 500-calorie Mediterranean-style meal consisting of 5 to 7 ounces of lean protein and 2-3 cups of non-starchy vegetables.
Most people lose about 2+ per week for the first two weeks and then 1 to 2 pounds per week thereafter. Losing weight so quickly will help to keep you motivated and on track.
The cost of the meal replacements is typically less than the cost of the meals they replace.
You will begin to feel lighter and better your first week on the program.
Once you reach your desired weight goals, Dr. Kowal transitions you to the maintenance phase of the program. The maintenance phase consists of Mediterranean-style meals filled with lean proteins, vegetables, healthy fats, and whole grains.
He works closely with you during the maintenance phase to help you incorporate your new eating habits so you can keep the weight off.
There’s no need to try to lose weight on your own. To begin the program and get the support you need to lose weight and keep it off, call the office or Dr. Richard Kowal or request an appointment online today.
