Physicians Weight Loss Centers Franchise

Weight Loss Centers

The latest study by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention shows 58 million Americans are obese. Another study showed that 80 million Americans go on a diet each year. That's why Americans spend $32 billion dollars on weight loss products, services and programs annually!

Clearly, weight loss is a strong growth industry. But, as with any business, caution and common sense are critical. We are constantly seeing "Johnny-Come-Lately" firms enter the market. Without solid, field-tested programs and well thought-out business plans, they soon face some "weighty" problems of their own!

When Physicians WEIGHT LOSS Centers was founded in 1979, I had no desire to create a "fad diet". Quite the opposite. My personal goal was to develop a professionally supervised, nutritionally sound weight loss, weight management and wellness program that would be considered the benchmark of quality weight loss in the industry.
