Let’s be honest: losing weight as an adult in Salt Lake City and throughout the state of Utah can be one of the most exhausting experiences you’ll go through. You try a diet. Then you stop. You count calories, eliminate food groups, spend 3 hours at the gym, and lose weight. Then you gain it back. It feels like you are fighting against your own body to lose weight. It is hard to believe, isn’t it? But it does feel almost impossible to lose weight. The reason why is because many dieting programs are not geared toward helping you. They aren’t designed to address the specific needs of your body and metabolism.
For 46 years, MD Diet Weight Loss & Nutrition has been dedicated to helping people throughout Utah lose weight through physician-supervised medical weight loss. Our core medical weight loss program isn’t just another way to lose weight. It is a proven medical approach that addresses the factors that affect your weight so that you can lose weight and live healthier for a long time.

How MD Diet is Different
Since 1978, MD Diet Weight Loss & Nutrition has been one of the leading and most trusted weight loss clinics in Salt Lake City. Thousands of Utahns have chosen to lose weight through our approach, combining medical expertise with compassionate support. Instead of fad diets that promise rapid results, you work with a team of licensed doctors, nurse practitioners, certified nutritionists, and other health professionals to get the weight loss you need.
There is a whole lot more to it than just willpower. Metabolism, hormones, your body composition, and other factors affect a variety of health and the ability for you to lose weight. MD Diet’s core medical weight loss program is designed to look at all these factors and develop a plan for you and your lifestyle that supports long-term weight loss.
Why Other Diets Fail
When most people think about diet programs, they think about a one-size-fits-all program of cutting back on calories and not eating the “right” foods. You might lose a little weight at first, but as soon as your metabolism changes and you start gaining weight back, it’s back to where you were before.
MD Diet approaches things in a different way. As a medical weight loss clinic, we create a program for you through physician oversight that accounts for your body’s natural responses, so you don’t feel like you are at war with your metabolism and hormones.
Your Program
Step 1: Bio-Analysis
The MD Diet approach begins with an in-depth bio-analysis, and not just a simple weight check. We look at body composition, metabolic rate, fat levels, muscle mass, hydration levels, and other factors that affect your body weight. The bio-analysis gives us the information to develop a program for you.
Step 2: Your Program
Once we have your results from the bio-analysis, the doctors, nurse practitioners, and nutritionists who make up the core program team develop a personalized eating plan and activity recommendations. It is not a pre-packaged meal plan. You will gain the nutritional knowledge to make healthier food choices, the skills to control your portions, and the motivation to keep up a healthy lifestyle.
Step 3: Weekly Check-Ins and Weigh-Ins
With weekly weigh-ins and progress check-ins, you will have accountability and motivation as well as the opportunity to make needed adjustments as your body changes. Many patients also get B-vitamin injections that promote the health of your red blood cells, nervous system, fatty acid metabolism, heart, and other functions. It’s not uncommon for patients to feel a new level of energy and mental clarity at this point and find it a lot easier to stay on track.
Step 4: Physician Oversight
Once a month, your physicians, nurse practitioners, and other members of the core team meet with you for ongoing medical oversight. When appropriate, your physician may prescribe weight loss medications including Phentermine, Qsymia, Contrave, or GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. All care is monitored to maximize the safety and efficacy of the treatment.
The MD Diet Difference
Our medical program is not only about losing weight, it’s about:
- Lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels
- Increased energy levels
- Increased confidence and self-esteem
- Long-term nutrition and lifestyle changes
- A customized plan for your body
- Medical supervision from the start of your program to the end
Why Utah’s Most Trusted Medical Weight Loss Program Is MD Diet
MD Diet is a locally owned, Salt Lake Valley-based clinic located in South Salt Lake and serving patients through telehealth programs throughout the state. For almost half a century, we’ve helped our Salt Lake Valley patients achieve a healthier lifestyle with physician-led, evidence-based weight loss.

Month-to-month programs are available without requiring a long-term agreement. You’ll keep coming back because you’re seeing amazing results, not because you’re contractually obligated.
