Welcome to Frazine Medical Weight Loss
Guiding You to Good Health
You may have heard that weight loss starts in the kitchen, but it can be difficult to actualize without the guidance of a certified nutrition expert. After your initial consultation, you will meet with our weight loss specialists to discuss and create specific nutrition plans including healthy meal replacement options.
Our nutrition prescription revolves around three key concepts: adequate protein intake, calorie reduction, and meal replacements. Adding in high-quality protein to your meals preserves lean body tissue and keeps you feeling fuller. A calorie deficit is required for weight loss and encourages your body to use stored fat deposits for energy. Meal replacements offer a simple and convenient way to track calories and ingest healthy, high-protein foods.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why do I need more protein?
-
Protein is an incredibly valuable nutrient that many patients don’t eat enough of. It helps your muscles recover and build after exercise, builds lean muscle, helps maintain healthy weight, reduces hunger, and keeps you full longer. With lower carbohydrate and higher protein intake, your body takes its energy from fat stores rather than carbohydrates from food, resulting in weight loss.
- What are "meal replacements"?
-
Meal replacements are convenient and healthy options, such as nutritional shakes, puddings, soups, and bars, that replace regular meals. They let you eat a full meal’s worth of food while tracking exact quantities of calories and nutrients. Part of nutrition planning is understanding all the nutrients you should consume in a day, since many people don’t have the resources or time to make healthy meal choices all the time.
- Won't I feel hungry because I'm eating less food?
-
We create our programs with a foundation in scientifically proven weight loss principles. Losing weight is difficult because your body is designed to counter weight loss efforts and to hold on to as many nutrients and calories as it can for survival. We reduce calories at a fast enough rate that you can see and feel results, while also maximizing retention of lean body mass. With our careful nutrition planning in combination with our other weight loss treatments, you’ll still feel satisfied and have the energy to make the most of your healthier self.
