What is The Palo Alto Diet?
The Palo Alto Diet is a physician-directed weight loss program that features a low calorie, protein-rich infusion that is administered continuously through a small nasogastric feeding tube over a ten-day period.
Burning Fat and Retaining Muscle Mass
The Palo Alto Diet targets your body’s fat stores as its main source of weight loss. After 48 hours on our diet your body’s glycogen stores are completely depleted – described by some as a ‘sugar detox’ – and your body is forced to use its fat stores rather than glucose as an energy source. Compared to other forms of weight loss, our diet is unique in its high ratio of fat loss while protecting lean muscle and bone integrity. Additionally, the high circulating levels of ketone bodies in your system will significantly curb hunger and increase energy levels and mental acuity.
The Palo Alto Difference
The key difference of The Palo Alto Diet is the speed with which our clients lose weight. You’ll see and feel immediate results. You can expect to lose approximately 10 lbs in the first ten-day cycle. After a 10-day rest period, you may undergo a second cycle and lose an additional 10 lbs. So, in just one month you can lose approximately 20 lbs. Although many clients have become devotees of The Palo Alto Diet and repeat the cycle annually, it’s important to understand that our diet is not a substitute for a long-term commitment to healthy eating and exercise. Think of our program as a fast and effective way to prepare for a big event, whether it be a wedding, a class reunion, or a red carpet event. Many of our clients have found our diet to be the perfect way to shed those last stubborn pounds of baby weight or as a means to kickstart a new weight loss regimen. When your cycle is over, our staff is committed to helping you come up with a plan to sustain the results you’ve achieved. The Palo Alto Diet has often been described as ‘a hard reset’ that gives people the psychological boost to make meaningful changes and sustain a more healthy lifestyle.
