Maximum Health Weight Loss Clinic’s clients in the Ooltewah area have been losing weight quickly and safely since the program began this January.
“I was a little skeptical,” said McDonald area resident Paula Banner, who as a mother of two and full-time worker had assumed she didn’t have the time or energy to diet. “I get up at 6 a.m. in the morning, get my kids ready, take them to school and then I am at work until 6 p.m. I don’t sit down until 9 p.m., but if you want to live healthy you’ll find the time.”
She has lost a total of 25 pounds since she joined in January and is striving to lose an additional 23 pounds every eight weeks until she reaches her goal weight.
“We began the program Jan. 5, and up to last week I had lost the most of anyone – I’d lost 22 pounds and five inches off my waist,” said clinic administrative assistant and program participant Randy Beasley. “It’s a life change. You have to work at it.”
The program relies on portion control and supplements to stimulate the body’s fat-burning capacity while ensuring the body gets all the nutrients it needs.
