How Much Weight Can I Expect to Lose as Part of Your Program?

Medical weight loss is designed around your unique needs and goals. As a functional nutritionist who has been serving patients for over two decades, Dr. Rabito has a background that you can trust. He has helped patients shave off a few pounds and has helped patients lose over 100 pounds. Generally, it is possible to lose a few pounds each week if you follow your treatment guidelines. In addition to losing weight, your program will also help you optimize your overall health and wellness by fueling your body with nutrient-rich foods.

Are Medications for Weight Loss Used as Part of Your Program?

Dr. Rabito does sometimes include pharmacological products to assist patients. Many weight loss programs rely heavily on medications. That is not the case in our NYC office. Here, you can expect to receive a customized plan that includes nutritional recommendations based on your particular lab results. You can expect to receive care that understands your hormones and how they are affecting your ability to lose and maintain weight. The inclusion of medications in your program will be carefully considered and discussed, allowing you to make the most informed decision about the program details that are right for you.

Will My Primary Care Provider Be Involved in My Weight Loss Program?

If you have a chronic health condition for which you receive ongoing care, your primary doctor may be involved to some degree. Dr. Rabito is an accomplished endocrinologist and functional nutritionist who treats numerous conditions, including Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, low testosterone, thyroid disorders, and more. When you consult with us for weight loss or nutrition optimization, you will undergo specific lab tests that will help guide the development of your personal weight loss treatment.

How Long Does the Program Last?

Our patients are treated individually based on their lab results, preferences, and response to their treatment guidelines. When you begin your weight loss program with Dr. Rabito, there is no strict end date in mind. The goal of treatment is to help you reach your weight loss goals while also developing nutritional habits that will help you enjoy your new weight for many years, if not indefinitely. Because your body changes as you age, there may come a time when you want to return to our office for adjustments to your nutrition and lifestyle as a way to address age-related concerns quickly and naturally.

How Will My Diet Change?

To lose weight and gain vitality, Dr. Rabito follows proven, whole-food dietary recommendations. These may be different for you than for anyone else because the doctor uses your lab results to guide your diet. The objective is to nourish your body with the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that you need most at the time. Depending on your current dietary habits, which you will record in a food diary, your diet may change significantly. Conversely, if your diet already includes lean protein, healthy fats, and an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables, you may need a few minor adjustments to get on track with optimal weight loss.
