We all like to be supported, encouraged, and cheered for our successes – either in private or public. And at times we need new ideas, advice, constructive criticism, and perhaps a motivational kick in the pants. Other times we just need a sympathetic ear for our struggles and concerns. We can do that for you. As trained Health Advisors, our staff is up-to-date on all issues relating to changing eating and exercise habits, dealing with our food-oriented society, and proper nutrition. </p> <p> <b>Free Support Options</b></p> <p> Medifast Tucson provides you with a variety of support options to suit your individual needs. There is no charge for any of these support programs:</p> <ul> <li>Health Advisors</li> <li>Online Discussion Forums</li> <li>Newsletters</li> <li>Current Health News </li> <li>Nutrition Support Line</li> <li>Local Support Groups</li> <li>Live Weekly Support Calls </li> <li>Medifast Tucson Owner – Dr. Manny</li> </ul> <h2> Internet support works</h2> <p> Clinical research shows that Internet-based programs and support can help people successfully lose weight. A six month study by the Brown Medical School, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, demonstrated the benefit of utilizing online support resources such as online discussion boards, submitting food diaries, tracking exercise, receiving emailed feedback and answers, etc. A second study by the same school discovered the benefit of receiving web-based advice from a weight loss counselor. They also found that those who spent more time on the Web lost more weight. Finally, and perhaps most significantly, a study published in Obesity Research found that an Internet program was as effective as in-person counseling in promoting long-term weight maintenance.
