Are you done with weight loss attempts that just end in rebound? Are you wondering if there really is such a thing as healthy, steady and sustainable weight loss when you feel like your body is conspiring to stop you from losing weight? You’re not the only one. Thousands of people throughout Salt Lake City and Utah are fighting weight that won’t go away, a metabolism that has slowed, hunger pangs and myths and fallacies related to weight loss.
But MD Diet Weight Loss & Nutrition is the right choice for a reason, guiding folks just like you since 1978 and, now, 46 years of experience of medical weight loss in Salt Lake City for you. As Utahns, we take pride in having Salt Lake City, UT’s number one physician-supervised medical weight loss program, with more than 10,000 Utahns successfully losing weight through our clinic’s medically supervised weight loss. MD Diet is founded in the science of weight loss, under the guidance of medical professionals in Salt Lake City who can design and implement personalized solutions that are tailored to your body and lifestyle.
The Problem with Most Diets and Why They Don’t Last
Many weight loss plans focus on short-term results and don’t take into account all the reasons we may have a difficult time with the scale. Metabolism, hormones, and genetics are factors that affect weight gain and loss. If you can’t see through the lens of the science of weight loss, you have to ask yourself what’s stopping you from seeing long-term success?
That’s where the medically supervised weight loss programs from MD Diet differ. Our program isn’t just about following a diet; it’s about medical weight loss in Salt Lake City, with decades of clinical experience and science-based methods behind it, designed to help you shed pounds and keep them off, under the guidance of Salt Lake City medical doctors, nurse practitioners, certified nutritionists, and dieticians.
MD Diet: Personalized Medical Weight Loss Plans with Physician Oversight
What sets us apart as the leading weight loss clinic in Salt Lake City is our focus on truly understanding your body.
Your Weight Loss Journey Starts with a Bio-Analysis and Customized Plan
MD Diet Weight Loss & Nutrition begins every patient’s journey with a thorough bio-analysis, an in-depth physical assessment that looks at how your body functions, specifically in relation to weight. It provides us with insight to your body composition and how much weight you can lose. We also review all of your body’s needs.
We understand that one-size-fits-all doesn’t work. We will provide you with your own personal weight loss plan which is unique to you, based on your bio-analysis, which we will update monthly in order to ensure we are meeting your individual needs as your body changes as we progress.
Weekly Check-Ins and Ongoing Support
Our weight loss is all about accountability and support to keep you on the right track and provide you with motivation. We do monthly weigh-ins and you have weekly 1-on-1 appointments with one of our experienced staff, helping you to meet your weight loss goals, answer any questions you have and make any changes to your plan.
These appointments are not just to measure your weight – they’re also designed to give you education, tips, motivation and guidance to continue to reach your goals. Our Salt Lake City, UT medical weight loss clinic is more than just dieting; our programs include:
Nutritional Counseling – We teach you how to eat healthy and nourish yourself, rather than restricting you with calorie counting and meal plans. Our board-certified physicians instruct you in the skills necessary for healthy decision making regarding your nutrition.
B-Vitamin Injections: We offer B-Vitamin injections to patients who may benefit, particularly patients who may be suffering from a vitamin B12 deficiency which may cause lack of energy. B12 plays an important role in energy production, fat and carbohydrate metabolism, and the formation of red blood cells. Having more energy and mental awareness makes the lifestyle changes necessary to achieve long term healthy living much more achievable and easy to stick to.
Monthly Appointments: Your licensed medical provider can provide checkups to make sure you are healthy, keep track of your progress, and make the adjustments needed to help you meet your goals.
MD Diet is a leading medical weight loss clinic in Salt Lake City, Utah offering safe effective treatments such as GLP-1 drugs and prescription appetite suppressors for weight loss. GLP-1: Semaglutide and Tirzepatide GLP-1 drugs, also known as GLP-1s, are medications that are used in weight loss treatment to suppress appetite and control blood sugar levels. These are semaglutide and tirzepatide, which were previously prescribed under brand names Ozempic®/Wegovy® and Mounjaro®/Zepbound® respectively. These medications work by imitating the function of gut hormones, which control appetite, slow gastric emptying, and promote control of blood sugar levels. You feel full sooner and stay full longer. Your cravings become easier to ignore. Rather than a battle against cravings in a constant state of hunger, the medication controls your appetite on a biological level. MD Diet is a leading GLP-1 doctor in Utah that can administer these medications within a monitored clinical environment. This is in contrast with the use of online prescribers, who can do little to ensure you are not taking the drug inappropriately or at doses too high, and can do little to help you get results. GLP-1 medications lead to significant total body weight loss of 15-22% on average depending on medication, according to clinical trials. If you are looking for Ozempic weight loss clinic in Salt Lake City Utah, we provide the best GLP-1 drugs for safe and effective weight management. Other Weight Loss Drugs For some patients, other prescription medications for weight loss can be beneficial: Phentermine- Phentermine is an appetite suppressant that reduces hunger by acting on areas of the brain that control appetite. It has been in use since the 1950’s and is still widely prescribed today. Qsymia- a combination drug of Phentermine and Topiramate that can result in 3x weight loss compared to diet and exercise alone. Contrave- a weight loss medication that acts on areas of the brain that are involved in hunger and cravings. Clinical studies have found that Contrave leads to 2x to 4x weight loss compared to diet and exercise alone. Prescription medications should not be used without a physician’s consultation, to ensure the right medication and the right dose are right for you. HCG Diet Program If you are looking for an HCG diet clinic in Utah, MD Diet has an HCG program that has demonstrated to be effective at rapid weight loss. HCG is a hormone that protects lean muscle from breakdown and acts on abnormal fat reserves to be used for fuel. This is how HCG diets are different than simple calorie restriction diets, which can lead to loss of both fat and muscle, resulting in slow metabolism and inability to sustain weight loss. Patients often report significant loss of weight with rapid momentum which translates into the confidence to make the necessary lifestyle changes to successfully maintain healthy weight in the future.

What are the FAQs About Medical Weight Loss?
Q. Is medical weight loss safe? A. Yes, it’s safe. When medical programs are properly supervised by trained professionals such as MD Diet’s doctors and nurse practitioners, medical weight loss programs, including prescription medication and the GLP-1 weight loss medicines, are safe for people. We focus on your medical health, and your medical safety, and monitor you at regular intervals in our program.
Q. How much weight can I expect to lose with MD Diet? A. Results will vary, but the average patient we’ve helped loses 8 to 10 pounds per month. Your adherence to the diet plan and your metabolism and the medications that your doctor and nurse practitioners select for you including GLP-1 medications for weight loss, all play an important part in your ultimate results.
Q. What is the difference between Semaglutide and Tirzepatide? A. Both of these medicines have the same medical effect on the patient and both are GLP-1 medications. The main difference between the two drugs is that Tirzepatide acts like two hormones, GLP-1 and GIP. It does appear in the published medical literature that Tirzepatide may produce a slightly greater effect on the average patient.
Q. Are your weight loss programs covered by insurance? A. MD Diet is a self-pay program. This gives us the flexibility to focus on your weight loss program without interference from insurance companies. We can help you obtain documents so you can submit it with your insurance company, but it is ultimately your responsibility to determine if they cover it.
Q. I’ve tried everything and I can’t lose the weight. What is so different about the MD Diet? A. We help address the underlying cause of why you’re gaining weight, which is medical and physiological factors and not just dietary and exercise related. When you work with MD Diet’s doctors and nurse practitioners you undergo a complete medical and biological analysis and then have a program custom designed for you. The medical team selects your weight loss program to include appropriate medical treatments, and prescriptions if needed for your weight loss. With medical supervision you can avoid the biological factors that usually are at the heart of any failed diet.
