The Silicon Valley Center for Medical Weight Loss

Our medical weight-loss program, CMWL, Silicon Valley, is one of the first in the country to integrate the gamut of the assessment and treatment options utilizing traditional nutritional and dietary programs combined with psychological  and behavioral treatments, all in the context of an Integrated model which works and keeps working beyond what most other programs provide as we look at short-term, intermediate, and long-term solutions  for our patients.

How The Program Works

Dr. Saad Shakir will create a comprehensive personalized weight loss program tailored just for you. This includes body composition analysis, doctor-supervised food plans, metabolism regulation, appetite management, lifestyle and motivational coaching, science-based activity recommendations and much more.

Our Plans

After your initial consultation, Dr. Shakir may prescribe one of the following plans and personalize it to your specific needs and preferences:

Accelerated or Accelerated Plus
The Accelerated plan includes six weeks of one-on-one visits with our medical staff under the consultation of Dr. Shakir, simple medical tests to monitor your weight loss progress, and a high-nutrition calorie-controlled food plan. Accelerated Plus also includes vitamin regulation.

LCD or Modified LCD
The Low Calorie Diet (LCD) is a high-nutrition calorie-controlled plan your doctor will prescribe for you and monitor closely. The Modified LCD is the same plan, but adjusted to include a calorie-specific dinner that may include your favorite foods.

Appetite Suppressant
Jumpstart your CMWL weight loss plan with an appetite suppressant prescribed and monitored by Dr. Shakir.

Why The Center for Medical Weight Loss?

Unlike commercial weight loss programs, medical weight loss is designed to take more than just the food you eat and activities you do into account. Only a medical doctor can truly understand how your unique health profile contributes to your weight loss challenges, but also how it can be used to help you achieve success. The doctor will study your medical history, prescriptions, hormonal imbalances, metabolic rate, and multiple other medical factors to design a weight loss program specifically for you.

Once you understand how medical weight loss works, you can feel confident that Dr. Shakir is the most qualified physician to help you achieve your weight loss goals. CMWL Doctors have received the most in-depth, comprehensive medical weight loss training available. Not only do they understand the physical aspects of weight loss, but have been trained to address any behaviors holding you back from reaching your weight loss goals. This means you will have a high-skilled, supportive, and caring medical expert on your side, helping you to lose those initial pounds quickly and safely, and teaching you to keep them off for good.
