Beginning in her mid-20’s, Amy experienced a gradual weight gain. In July 2024, she was diagnosed with a cardiac issue and was put on medication that caused extreme fatigue. Her ability to exercise deteriorated. Amy gained 60 pounds in a short period of time and developed joint pain which further interfered with her ability to be active. Bloodwork also indicated that Amy was pre-diabetic.

After being able to stop the medication, it was time to get the weight off to improve her quality of life, improve her health, and get back to being active, specifically showing dogs, which she has loved for years. Referred to CONCI by her doctor, Amy was very comfortable with a meal replacement diet. She liked the fact that the program is tailored to each patient. She liked the personal touch. Being medically monitored during her weight loss was reassuring to her.

Amy approached her weight loss differently than most patients. She wanted to focus on how she was feeling rather than a number on a scale. For this reason, she asked the staff to tell her what she weighed only once each month rather than weekly. After 4 months, the 60 pounds she had gained were gone! In the meantime, the pain in her joints diminished, her energy levels improved, and she gained back the ability to be more active while also enjoying it!

After reaching her original goal a few months ago, Amy set a new goal of losing a total of 120 pounds. Her weight loss in the last 7 months was 93 pounds. She is no longer pre-diabetic, is able to compete with her dogs again, and she is back to enjoying that part of her life.

Slightly more than 11% of the US population has diabetes. Nearly 40% of Americans have pre-diabetes, many of whom are unaware they have the problem, so about half of the American population has either diabetes or prediabetes…that’s 1 out of every 2 people! Diabetes and pre-diabetes are major risk factors for other chronic conditions and complications that can lead to deteriorating health.

A major risk factor for both diabetes and pre-diabetes is obesity. Weight loss is a key treatment for diabetes and can be achieved through proper diet, exercise, and medication or surgery when indicated. Even a 5–10% reduction in body weight can improve blood sugar. More significant weight loss, especially shortly after diagnosis, may sometimes lead to the remission of Type 2 diabetes. CONCI is here to help you lose weight. Most importantly, we are here to help you improve your health, especially if you are diabetic!

A topic receiving a lot of attention at this year’s Obesity Week was the importance of adequate protein intake in combination with resistance training in those using GLP-1 medications. Practitioners were encouraged to promote resistance training to their patients in order to build muscle mass. Adding protein to the diet is not enough. Adding more protein to the diet will be ineffective for increasing muscle mass on its own. Strength training must complement a higher protein intake in order to help build muscle.

Mary Z. began her weight loss journey at CONCI with her husband 35 years ago. Although she initially lost the weight she wanted to all those years ago, she has appreciated the fact that she can return to CONCI anytime to get the help she needs when some pounds creep back. While she eats mindfully and exercises regularly, Mary knows that accountability, support, and education all come into play to be successful long-term. That is what she feels makes CONCI stand apart from other weight loss programs. Mary has taken advantage of all the classes and support groups that CONCI has offered through the years, and she makes sure that every visit to the clinic includes time with a registered dietitian.

The benefits of her weight loss have been many. When she first came to the clinic 35 years ago, her A1C was 7.1. Since losing weight, eating better, and exercising, her A1C has never been higher than 5.8! Her energy level is so much better. She can walk farther and faster. Feeling and looking better has boosted her self-confidence. As for Mary’s maintenance plan, she follows a carbohydrate-controlled food plan and uses Numetra® meal replacement products at times for calorie control.

𝗪𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗪𝗔𝗜𝗦𝗧 𝗦𝗜𝗭𝗘! 🧐🥗🏃‍♂️

Cholesterol levels, weight, blood pressure, and A1C can all help determine heart disease risk and a person’s chance of having a heart attack or stroke. However, cardiologists agree that there is another body measurement important in determining heart disease risk. That measurement is waist circumference. A high waist circumference, even in people with normal weight, indicates abdominal or visceral body fat, which is associated with cardiovascular disease and is a predictor of mortality, according to a scientific statement from the American Heart Association.

Visceral fat accumulates deep beneath the abdominal muscles, surrounding the vital organs as well as around the mid- section and is the most harmful type of fat because it produces inflammation. This inflammation, in turn, affects the rest of the body and leads to a higher risk of heart attack, stroke, and diabetes.

To reduce belly fat, be as active as you can every day with a combination of cardio and resistance training. Additionally, having the following criteria for a food plan will help to reduce belly fat:

- Low in added sugar
- High in plant foods
- Enough protein to meet your needs
- Whole grains
- Reduced portion sizes
- Little to no ultra-processed foods
- Minimized sources of saturated fat

𝗗𝗔𝗩𝗜𝗗 𝗜𝗦 𝗡𝗢 𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥 𝗣𝗥𝗘-𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗕𝗘𝗧𝗜𝗖 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞𝗦 𝗧𝗢 𝗪𝗘𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗦! 🙌🎉😁

David C. reached his highest adult weight a year ago at age of 66. Having high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and pre-diabetes, he knew he had every reason to get serious about weight loss. David hoped that losing weight would not only improve these issues, but also reduce the amount of medications he currently requires and enhance his quality of life.

After seeing the great results a friend of his had with us, David chose Central Ohio Nutrition Center, starting a plan with 4-5 meal replacements plus one small meal daily. He felt reassured having a dietitian provide guidance and a doctor and/or nurse practitioner medically monitor him. In just 5 months David lost 67 pounds and was taken off of 4 medications! Another 4 months took off another 35 pounds! With a total weight loss of 102 pounds, David dropped 10 pant sizes, has gained a tremendous amount of energy and stamina, and has lowered his A1c back down to the normal range.

David decided to try a GLP-1 medication to help him maintain his weight loss, and is continually monitored by the CONCI on a regular basis for accountability.
