Patient Testimonials

Mélissa, 2010

My journey with the Maigrir à la Carte team began in April 2009. At that time, I was desperate! I had reached my highest recorded weight - 246.4lb. Obviously, I did not feel good in my skin. I lacked energy. I was frantic to be done with my weight problem. Having met Mariejo, my counsellor, and after that she explained me the various options of the program, I was ready to begin my adventure. For me, the key to success was my level of determination. But, also, I had a superb team of professionals attentive to my needs and keen at helping me overcome hurdles - Mariejo, Dr. Forbes, Johanne, Odette and a personal trainer. I sincerely believe that the key of success, regardless our objectives, remains the communication- these people understood me. It is imperative to be comfortable with the professionals and at ease enough to inform them of our objectives and our fears. It makes it easier and we can work together to reach our objectives. It is also necessary to find the diet plan which is integrated easily in our lifestyle. In this way, to follow a nutritional program becomes much simpler. All the professionals from Maigrir à la Carte are excellent. It is absolutely essential to find the person with whom you 'click' more and I am persuaded plays a role in achieving your goals. The proof, in only 15 month, I succeeded in losing a total from almost 90 lb. Thank you to all Maigrir à la Carte team. You really helped me to take control on my life and I am very grateful to you.

Sincerely,
Mélissa

From the greeting at the reception desk to the counsellor's approach to the doctors attentiveness - WOW. For me starting a diet wasn't easy. Thought about it for a long time and I think I chose the right clinic. Its different from elsewhere - they care about what I'm feeling. I finally realized that alot of my weight gain is link to my emotions. With the clinic's help, I'm learning slowly but surely to take care of myself even if there is a 'storm' around me.

Finally a healthcare center that listens about what I want. They proposed many type of diets and I got to choose the one that sounded do-able and adapted to my lifestyle. I eat my own food ans even go out to the restaurant and still lose plenty of weight. The one-to-one is exactly what I needed. Solutions designed for me!!
