Weight Loss Programs

Get a personalized plan to ensure success.

At BodyRenewal, we know that losing weight, whether five pounds or fifty pounds, is never easy, which is why we custom tailor our weight loss programs to meet the needs of our patients. Since each patient has a unique story, background, and goal, we aim to personalize weight management plans so that never at any point will you feel like just another number. Instead, you’ll receive a personalized program that can help you lose weight and keep it off long-term.

No fad diets or quick fixes. Just sustainable results.

At BodyRenewal, we completely customize each based on our patient’s goal weight and ultimate health and wellness needs. Our goal is to help you not just lose your desired amount of weight but incorporate positive changes into your lifestyle. We want to help overhaul your diet but do so in a manageable, enjoyable, and maintainable way.

It’s important to understand the role of good nutrition and exercise so that once you reach your goal weight, you can continue to set new health and wellness goals and reach them. Our weight loss programs are just the beginning; they initiate a journey that will help you become a healthy and more confident version of yourself.

Weight loss, the BodyRenewal way.

  • Our programs begin with a one-hour initial consultation. This consultation enables us to meet with you and learn more about your past, your medical history, and your goal weight. Then, we can customize your weight management program and custom tailor it to your needs, down to the foods you will be eating. We want to make this process enjoyable, manageable, and maintainable.

  • Once we confirm that you’re a good fit, we will design your weight loss program. Programs may include prescription medications if deemed appropriate by your provider. Programs may also include different diet plans. We offer intermittent fasting plans, keto diet plans, and other dietary changes to help patients lose weight while giving their bodies the nutrients they need to maintain optimal health.

  • One of the ways that we promote continued weight loss during our programs is by scheduling regular check-ins. These check-ins provide built-in accountability and can be scheduled as in-person appointments or virtual meetings. By offering both in-person and virtual check-ins, we maintain a sense of accountability, ensure a regular connection with you, and give you the guidance and support you need during every phase of your journey.

  • The hardest part of a weight loss program is taking the step to commit to one. From that point forward, we'll walk beside you, help keep you motivated, and provide the accountability you need to succeed. If you need to lose weight, don't wait any longer to take that first step. You'll look and feel better, improve your health, and become a more confident version of yourself. Contact us at BodyRenewal in West Des Moines, Iowa, today to schedule your consultation.

Weight loss strategies

Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting is an eating protocol that focuses on creating a specific time frame during which you eat. Based on your needs and goals, we will provide you with a specific window during which you will eat all your meals.

Outside of that window, you’ll spend time fasting, avoiding food until your eating window begins again. Intermittent fasting is effective because it helps the body burn calories and excess fat and is the perfect complement for those looking for a manageable and effective way to overhaul their diet to lose weight.

Prescription Medications​

For some patients, prescription weight-loss medications may be an important adjunct to diet and exercise. At BodyRenewal, we use only FDA-approved weight loss medications for the treatment of obesity. Some examples of these medications are Wegovy and Contrave.

Our top priority is patient safety, so we adhere to the guidelines propagated by the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists and the American Board of Obesity Medicine as well as allied health professional organizations. Weight-loss medications can be very helpful, but they aren’t for everyone; that’s why it’s important to establish a relationship with your provider to ensure all treatments are safe and effective.

Keto Diet Plans​

The ketogenic diet focuses on reducing carbohydrate intake to force the body to use fat for fuel. In doing so, the diet plan helps decrease appetite, increases caloric burn, and enables patients to lose weight quickly and safely. You may qualify for one of our keto diet plans based on your needs.

The ketogenic diet focuses on low carbohydrate food intake, and you’ll eat plenty of meats, fish, cheese, vegetables, and healthy fats. At the same time, you’ll avoid carbohydrates, including rice, grains, potatoes, bread, and sugar. One of the benefits of this diet is it doesn’t require that you count every single calorie but instead focuses on avoiding certain foods while consuming others.

Weight Loss Counseling​

We also provide weight loss counseling during our weight management programs to help patients better understand their weight management goals, their relationship with food, and the steps they need to take to make lifestyle changes that can help promote optimal health long term. Counseling will help patients better understand the treatment process and equip them with tools and techniques to make lasting lifestyle changes to maintain their long-term goals.
