Frequently Asked Questions

Our protocol itself is medically supported. Nutritionists, dietitians, and physicians were involved in the creation and modification of the program. You will not be seen by any doctors on this program, as there is no physician patient relationship. Physicians have helped solidify this program and today our health consultants bring this protocol to life.

You should get the approval of your primary doctor before going on any weight loss program. We do not want to take the role of your doctors. We believe you should maintain your existing relationships with all your physicians, without the unnecessary expensive testing and procedures many medical weight loss programs put you through. We can send your physician a letter outlining our programs and goals so they can continue to care for your medical needs.

Yes, absolutely. Even though you could lose anywhere from half a pound a day, you are losing fat and not lean muscle mass. Excess weight is a definite health risk. Our weight loss programs are medically supervised, and for this reason we ensure all our patients are monitored.

We are constantly bombarded with fads, diets, and misinformation. Attempting a weight loss program on your own does not address all the factors attributed to weight loss. We provide the metabolic factors necessary to lose weight effectively and safely, with a proprietary, proven method that has helped treat close to 10,000 patients.

Your goal is to burn fat, not lean muscle mass. Our protocol is specifically designed to target abnormal body fat, and we help reset your metabolism to make your results last. The program gives you structure, portion control, and a proprietary food list to follow.

The results are quick: in a week you could easily lose up to 7 pounds when following the program closely, and we have seen people lose more. Your energy increases and stress decreases. Research has shown that slow weight loss reduces the chances of reaching your goal weight.

No. Most pre-packaged foods are full of preservatives and chemicals, and they teach you nothing about what to eat once you stop. With the Soza protocol you eat real foods, low calorie but nutrient dense, from a food list specifically designed for fat loss.

Definitely. Our health consultants are highly trained and see many patients daily. You come to the clinic weekly for weigh-ins and follow-ups, where we track the pounds and, more importantly, the inches.

Many patients come to us on diabetes and high blood pressure medication. Our goal is to help you reduce medication, and we have seen many patients show significant improvements in an incredibly short period of time.

Our program is an all-natural solution that does not interfere with medication. Everything we do is natural, with no diet pills and no phentermine. Board-certified doctors in internal medicine help facilitate your weight loss and help your primary doctor manage your medications.

It is not. Nutrition is by far the most effective method of achieving weight loss. We do want you active, and recommend walking or low-intensity exercise to keep your metabolism boosted and maintain muscle. Weight loss cannot be done with exercise alone.

Because you lost fat and not lean muscle mass, you will likely not gain the weight back. Our protocol targets fat, your metabolism has increased, and the program includes a 21-day maintenance system that is free of charge.

Our program is as affordable as most diet programs out there, if not more so. Everyone has the right to lose weight, so we offer many affordable programs, including a zero percent interest option. The longer you stay on common commercial programs, the more expensive they become.
