Welcome
to Berkes’ Weight Loss
Services’s Walk-In Weight
Loss Program.
We commend you for taking
the first step toward
better health and well
being. You are about
to embark on a path
that will give you more
energy, help you feel
better, and drop that
pant size.
Berkes’ Weight Loss
Services’s program places
your optimal health
first and foremost by
incorporating weight
loss with the prevention
or treatment/management
of chronic ailments
such as high blood pressure,
insulin resistance,
diabetes, high cholesterol,
arthritis and more.
Our healthcare providers
use your favorite foods
to create an eating
plan, and they focus
on your overall health
and how it applies to
your weight loss goals
(your energy, sleeping
patterns, lifestyle,
stress level, sexual
health, etc. are all
included in the overall
exam and optimal health
recommendations).
At Berkes’ Weight
Loss Services, though
interested in your scale
weight, we are more
interested in your body
composition. We track
body composition changes
(body fat and lean mass)
at each visit so we
can help keep you headed
toward optimal health
and keep you looking
great.
We want you to come
back and tell us what
works and what doesn’t
so we can fine tune
what YOUR body and YOUR
lifestyle needs! We
focus on getting YOUR
questions answered at
each follow-up visit.
Because it is so individualized,
patients tell us they
have more success with
this plan than other
weight loss options.
So welcome aboard!
We know you can make
positive changes toward
your overall health
and are excited to begin
this process with you!

Got Water?
Water
intake and fluid balance
are among the least
understood and most
neglected areas of overallhealth
and weight management.
Because water is very
important to health,
our bodies attempt to
maintainproper fluid
and water balance at
all times.Consuming
too little water can
result in water retention.
Increasing water intake
can actually decrease
water retention and
the bloating and added
weight that accompany
it. Learn
