"What is FirstLine Therapy?" - It's not just a fat loss program

It's a theraputic lifestyle changes (TLC) program, best used as a first line treatment for conditions like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, metabolic syndrome, and many others. It addresses the underlying causes of common chronic disorders.

It's designed to improve body composition by helping patients maintain muscle as they lose fat.

The FLT dietary plan is differnt

Most diets focus on not eating-- not eating fat, not eating carbs, or just plain not eating much of anything. With most diets,success is based primarily on willpower.

The FLT diet teaches patients they need to eat and to eat frequently. But the the focus is on eating the right kind of foods, the right kind of fat, and the right kind of cabohydrates. The diet is designed to maintain stable blood sugar and energy levels. Patients report less hunger, more energy, and higher compliance with the FLT diet than with commonly recommended low fat diets.

FLT uses a low-glycemic diet that is consistent with current research. New research has shown that low-glycemic diets are more effective than low-fat diets in treating obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes.

FLT incorporates medical foods and dietary supplements

Dietary supplements provide targeted nutritional support for specific functions, such as supporting insulin sensitivity, managing blood lipids, slowing glucose uptake, etc. Their appropriate use improves overall effectiveness of the FLT program.
