A Weight Management System that Works for Your Patients...and Your Practice

A study recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine concluded that reduced-calorie diets result in clinically meaningful weight loss regardless of which macronutrients they emphasize. This conclusion is, of course, welcome at CalorieKing, but a caloric deficit cannot be sustained permanently and the weight will come back unless weight control is the goal and the treatment is personal and systematic.

Your patients need your help to understand that weight loss will happen, but keeping weight off is the ultimate goal. You need a system to help them believe this and achieve weight control. CalorieKing provides the system.

When your patient should lose weight and keep it off, give them a script to the online CalorieKing Program and schedule a follow-up visit to check their progress.

The CalorieKing Program is guided by Thomas L. McKnight, MD, MPH. Dr. McKnight was medical editor for the AAFP monograph, Practical Advice for Family Physicians to Help Overweight Patients, published in 2005. He is also the author of Obesity Management in Family Practice, published in 2006, which describes the fundamentals of obesity treatment in a primary-care setting.

The online CalorieKing Program helps you help your overweight patients by providing a popular, science-based weight control program that educates and trains your patient while informing you of their progress on the program. If you elect to provide weight control counseling in addition to the online CalorieKing Program we can help you with that too.

The online CalorieKing program helps keep your patient on track between visits. And whether those visits are weekly or quarterly, you remain in touch through the Internet.

The CalorieKing Clinical System works because:

• It allows you to write a prescription referring your patient to a respected science-based weight control program
• It is designed to enhance the provider-patient relationship.
• It is designed for use with or without a clinical counseling program.
• It allows you to track patient progress electronically.

If you are a physician in a busy family practice, the CalorieKing Clinical System will help you become more effective as you treat the patients you already see.
