And it has been proven to be an effective weight loss solution.
Before starting any new program such as Robard, it is common to have questions. How does it work? And can you eat food on the Robard program? Let's take a closer look.
How Does the Robard Program Work?
The Robard program consists of different phases in which regular food is replaced with portion-controlled shakes, soups, puddings, entrees, snacks and snack bars. It is possible to lose 15-20 lbs or up to well over 100 lbs on Robard.
The program is designed to work in phases depending on the amount of weight needed to be lost. Your needs will be addressed by a medical professional throughout the entire process to ensure that you are getting the right amount of nutrition and that all your health goals are being met.
Robard also includes a focus on nutritional counseling, exercise and fitness and behavioral intervention. Maintaining any weight loss requires that you address many areas of life - not just what you put into your mouth, and the Robard program understands this.
Aside from losing weight, there are many benefits to following the Robard program, including:
- Lower blood pressure
- Lower cholesterol
- Lower blood sugar
- Reduce arthritis pain
- Maintain a healthy diet with all the vitamins and nutrients you need
Program Phases
Full Liquid Protocol Some individuals first start out on a diet that consists of nothing but Robard meal replacements. This includes shakes, puddings and soups. No other food is to be consumed if using the full liquid protocol. How long you remain in this phase is customized for each person.
Partial Meal Replacement Protocol Some individuals may start with a diet that consists of one meal containing regular foods per day - and the rest will be Robard meal replacements. Again, the timeframe will be customized. Those who started on the full liquid diet will move to this protocol as their next step after doing the full liquid diet for a period of time.
Transition to Regular Food As you progress in your weight loss journey, the medical professionals will help you transition back into eating all regular foods without any Robard meal replacements. It can be challenging to regain control over food in a healthy way which is why support remains available for counseling, nutrition, and exercise to yield the greatest success.
