Smart for Life™ Weight Management Centers opens 2 centers in Scottsdale and Chandler, September 5, 2006

Phoenix, Arizona – Believe it or not, there is a way to lose weight that requires you to eat cookies all day long. What’s more, clients following the program lose an average of 12 to 15 pounds per month. The secret – a specially formulated protein rich cookie recipe and a doctor’s supervision.

The cookies, which come in five flavors – Chocolate, Cinnamon-Oatmeal Raisin, Maine Blueberry, Pina Colada and organic Banana – are exclusively available at Smart for Life™ Weight Management Centers, which have helped tens of thousands of people lose weight over the past several years.

Smart for Life™ Weight Management Centers has opened its first of 10 planned Arizona locations in Chandler at Rural and Ray. The Scottsdale center will open right after Thanksgiving and Glendale in February.

The cookies are full of nutrients, amino acids, and fiber which suppress hunger while still supplying the body with the protein it needs. They are also all-natural and have no chemical appetite suppressants or artificial sweeteners. Patients praise the diet for its excellent hunger control and rapid weight loss.

On joining the program, each client meets with a doctor. They receive a complete physical exam, which includes blood work, an EKG and a Body Composition Analysis. Also included in the program are vitamins, supplements, and medications if necessary.

While the program works to shed pounds, patients are taught how to eat healthy to maintain their target weight. “The goal of the center is to train our clients to eat right and only when they are hungry. We teach them to stop eating before they are full, and to adopt diets high in protein and fiber and low in carbs,” says Dr. David Klein, one of the owners of the Arizona clinics, and also Chief Operating Officer of the parent company.

According to Dr. Sasson Moulavi, Chief Medical Director of Smart for Life™ and a Board Certified Bariatric physician, “We medically supervise patients throughout the weight loss process and work closely with their primary care physician. We also address issues such as high blood pressure and diabetes, usually decreasing, and in some cases eliminating, their need for prescription medications as they lose weight.”

Smart for Life™ Weight Management Centers specialize in medically supervised weight loss and have locations throughout the United States and Canada with centers in cities as Beverly Hills, CA, Boca Raton, FL, Rochester, MI, and Boston, MA. The Smart for Life™ Weight Management program helps clients make positive changes in their lives by helping them reach and maintain their weight loss goals.
