What's so good about these bioimpedance body composition analysis scales?
Bioimpedance scales will tell you accurately what your body weight is composed of i.e., how much of your body is fat mass, muscle mass and water. So, progress is measured mainly by looking at reducing the body fat mass percentage whilst either maintaining or increasing your muscle mass. Just looking at body weight changes sometimes does not tell you just how well you are progressing!
Can I see my own GP at the same time?
Yes, you can still seek medical advice from your own GP before, during and after being on the New Leaf program.
Do I have to take the medication?
No, if you choose not to Dr Chris & Ashlee can guide you through the program with the lower carbohydrate eating plan side of the program only.
Why is this program better than just taking medication alone?
Support is crucial when trying to lose weight and the combination of 8 visits with a specialist GP & dietitian will set you up for long-term success. Combining weight loss medications with a lower carbohydrate diet gives fantastic results and sustained, lifelong weight loss.
