Phase 2
of the Protein Sparing Modified Fasting diet is called Realimentation. Once you
are within 5 pounds of your goal weight, we will gradually reintroduce grocery
foods back in to your diet under our professional supervision. The purpose of
this 4-week process is to slowly increase calories and restore digestive
functions from fasting mode back to their normal capacity. Click HERE for the Realimentation Protocol.

Metabolic
Testing - At the end of week 4, patients we see in our clinic will undergo an impedance and calorimetery test to measure metabolism. From these tests, we
will design an individualized meal plan that lets you know just how many
calories you personally can consume each day and maintain your weight within 5
pounds. Dr. Morgan feels this information is vital to your success in
maintenance! The customized meal plan includes foods that you like to prepare,
eat, and shop for. Most of them also include your favorite meal replacements
because they are so portable, affordable, and easy to prepare! If you live in
or around the Birmingham area, we highly recommend coming in to our office for
these metabolic tests. Please call us at 205-397-8850 for more information.
