Dr. Santos was one of the first doctors to introduce the hormone diet to our patients in the lower mainland. We have a lot of experience with the diet and the hormone. Hundreds of patients have gone through the program with great success. We monitor patients carefully to ensure safety and effectiveness. Dr. Santos's weight loss program begins first with a very comprehensive blood test. It tests for thyroid problems, liver function, kidney function, electrolytes, anemia, etc. The test will reveal any metabolic problems you may have. Those identified will be corrected with supplementation or medications. The Hormone diet involves daily injections of a specific hormone. While on the injections, you will be prescribed a 800 calorie diet. Most patients expect to lose 1/2 lb to 1lb per day. This is considered a rapid weight loss program. We have treated hundred of patients with this diet plan. The diet is extremely successful and we put our patients on a maintenance program for 3 weeks afterwards to maintain the results.
