Offering Long Term Support Can Be a Sound Strategic Move

The vegan diet is a restrictive form of a vegetarian diet. On the vegan diet, one does not eat any animal derived products. There is another diet called the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) diet. A recent University of North Carolina study indicated that the vegan diet is superior to the NCEP diet.

The study also concluded that with either diet, dieters did better when the dieters participated in a year long follow-up support program. The study results give more credence to the post bariatric surgery programs that most bariatric centers have in place.

That is, there are support groups and weight-loss experts associated with most programs to help a bariatric patient with diet and exercise post surgery. There are also experts available to provide emotional support.

We believe that bariatric centers should have good follow up surgery programs in place. And for those centers offering non-surgical weight loss programs, the above-mentioned study shows the importance of long term weight loss support. Establishing long term programs could be beneficial to clients. And it could be strategically advantageous for a weight loss or bariatric center.
