Dr. Thompson is pleased to announce that SCICN is the first clinic in San Diego County to offer the Ultra Lite weight loss program from Australia. As Dr. Thompson says, “Ultra Lite™ is the only weight loss program that I have ever been excited about.” This is not just another new weight loss plan.

Ultra Lite™ is the most popular and successful weight loss program in Australia and New Zealand and is now being introduced into the United States. It is a time tested, proven method that has been used for over 10 years in 350 clinics with over 350,000 patients!! SCICN is proud to be one of the first clinics in America to offer this special program.

The Ultra Lite™ System is the result of many years of research by Australian based naturopathic doctor, Dr. Tony LeVannais.

A loss of 5-10 pounds in the first week is not uncommon, followed by up to 5 pounds a week thereafter. Ultra Lite is not a high protein diet. Ultra Lite™ is a balanced protein and carbohydrate Weight and Health Management System.”

Dr. Laura’s Personal Success with the Ultra Lite™ Program

I did the Ultra Lite™ Program myself and started at a size 12-14.  I am now an 8.  That’s significant, especially since I’ve done every “healthy” diet from metabolic type to blood type to South Beach, and all forms of exercise from kick boxing to yoga  -- for 7 years and to no avail.  Typical story.  What a dreary life change.  Like most menopausal women, I was never overweight before.  It blew my mind and self esteem.  As a speaker, I began to retreat from audiences.  I began to write more – that way people couldn’t see me.  H

At first, it was difficult for me to execute the Ultra Lite™ program as I was an ovo- vegetarian (18 years) – didn’t use much dairy and ate no fish or animal flesh. So I created a division in my clinic, run by my staff.

I was too busy with my other patients to delve into the program myself, and wasn’t emotionally ready to give up vegetarianism.
 

For our Ultra Lite™ Weight and Health Management program my staff and I worked as a team, seeing each client, as it is necessary to have weekly check-ins for weighing, going over the food diaries, and checking in on metabolic issues that may require nutritional supplementation.  As this is not only a weight loss program -- blood sugar issues, thyroid imbalance, liver congestion, intestinal effectiveness and stress hormones, all play a role in weight loss for life.  So we may change a person’s supplement program during the course of their Ultra Lite™ journey, in order to enhance and quicken results. 

I started seeing a new type of client come into the clinic.  We had a successful weight loss program and that was attracting people who ordinarily wouldn’t be coming to us.  I began noticing that we were attracting more men to the clinic, wanting to reduce their cholesterol, or lower their blood pressure or balance their blood sugar – or – Lose Weight.  These health conditions naturally balance out when a person effectively uses this program.  We see it over and over again.   Well, I was impressed – a weight loss program that helped provide long-term health results, was what I had been looking for all my health professional life.  The time had come for me. 

After a year of seeing great success with our clients, I began thinking about doing the program myself.  After all, I had to be a good example.  Gradually, I became more acclimated to meat-eating and was eventually ready to try the Ultra Lite™ program.  My husband had abandoned vegetarianism several years before, so an important step for me (don’t laugh) was seeing animal products more in my house and eventually cooking them for him.  Eventually, I was emotionally able to “take a bite”.  He would coax me, with smacking lips and “oohs and aahs”! 

It worked.  I embarked on my dramatic journey, Thanksgiving of 2003.  I did the Ultra Lite diet through the holidays, successfully.  This was actually a great idea and I suggest it for patients now.  I was down to between sizes 10-12 by New Year’s.  My patients were all noticing and began to inquire about what I was doing.  This did create a spark. 

By March I was a size 8 and back in most of the clothes I had worn when I first started practicing, 15 years ago.  All that changed in my life was eating meat (beef and turkey) again, eliminating all grain foods and following the Ultra Lite™ protocol.  Exercise, stress, all else remained the same.  My perception of food has changed so much though.  Now I can truly see what I really like, as opposed to what I've craved.  Valuable lesson.  Valuable for me to be able to relate to all my patients.

I had my whole staff do the Ultra Lite program as well, later that year.  One staff member who is relatively thin, did the program for one week and did lose weight in the gut.  You never know, even if you’re thin, where you might clip off a few pounds that you just assumed would always be there.  Sometimes these are pockets of accumulated toxins.  Once digestion, elimination and detoxification improve, accumulated toxins will find an exit.  What I’m saying is that: “this is not just a weight loss program, but a health enhancing program that can change the course of your life”.
