Weight Loss Philosophy

Beware! Don't be fooled by claims that there is one weight loss solution that works for everyone. Quite simply, there is no magical solution and weight loss management is a serious matter for those suffering from unwanted pounds. At WeightSmart MD, we are here to listen and help you achieve your personal weight loss goals. We want you to make smart decisions that lead to smart changes in your "way of life". Our experienced staff understands that your commitment to a weight loss diet is a life-changing event. Dr. Mark Roberts is a trained bariatric physician who has dedicated his practice to fighting obesity and helping his patients reach their goals. More importantly, our weight loss doctor is skilled at helping his patients Keep The Weight Off.

We consider getting you to your weight loss goals as only the first part of your weight loss plan. Our weight loss clinic in St. Petersburg is designed to help you keep unwanted weight off and establish a healthier "way of life". Once you reach your target weight, we invite you to come back regularly for weekly or monthly weigh-in at no cost to you. That way, we can help you stay accountable and focused on your long-term plan to manage weight gain. A successful weight loss program at the St. Petersburg weight loss clinic begins with your commitment to an individualized weight loss plan and ends with a detailed program to manage future weight gain. When you select us as your weight loss clinic, you never have to go it alone. We do not believe in using an answering service, so a staff member will always answer when you phone Dr. Roberts and his staff is here for you when you need our support the most.

Your personalized WeightSmart MD weight loss diet will consist of high protein and low fat foods. During this induction phase of your weight loss program, you will not be allowed to consume sweets while on the very-low calorie diet (VLCD). Once our weight loss doctor at the St. Pete weight loss clinic determines it is time for you to enter the post induction phase of your low-glycemic index diet, fresh fruits and vegetables will be added to a list of approved foods. As you begin to lose weight, both you and your doctor will gain a much better understanding as to what is working for you and what is not. Dr. Roberts will always encourage you to speak openly about your weight loss program during your routine appointments at the WeightSmart MD weight loss center. Our goal is to help you lose weight and live better.
