FAQs
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What do you do and what type of weight loss center are you?
Precision Weight Loss Center is an award-winning weight management program that is supervised by board-certified physicians. We help our clients lose weight, melt away inches, and optimize their health while showing them how to raise their metabolism and achieve a healthier lifestyle. In essence, we show our clients what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat. In doing so, we achieve results quickly and safely. We can provide our services both at our facility as well as at your home with the use of the internet and telephone.
How is Precision Weight Loss Center different from the other programs like Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Quick Weight Loss Center, and my physician’s office?
First, at Precision, we offer everything that those programs offer and more. Not only do we provide meal plans, meal replacements, support, and the option of having all-natural food delivered to your home, we have physicians who can provide appetite suppressants and other all-natural supplements, the capability to obtain labs and review them with you, best-in-class technology, certified fitness trainers, health coaches, cooking demonstrations, group fitness and everything that makes our program the most comprehensive in existence. In addition, we provide the best customer service in a clean, comfortable environment. In fact, you can even smell the difference the moment that you step foot in one of our facilities.
What can I expect during my initial visit to Precision Weight Loss Center?
During your initial visit to Precision Weight Loss Center, you can expect to spend approximately 30 minutes with us unless you take advantage of our technology and pre-register online prior to your arrival at one of our centers or offices of our network physicians. In fact, you will be able to take care of everything online with the exception of the medical examination and administration of any medications in the next few weeks! Upon arrival, you will complete a brief registration, get assessed with measurements, take part in a thorough consultation (this may take place over several visits), set milestones and ultimate goals, and get started! Your appetite suppressants come FREE with the initial office visit. You also can come to our center for weekly weigh-ins anytime after this initial visit. After the consultation, you may want to get started with our meal replacement and B12/Lipo B injection programs like many of our clients do. The cost of this initial visit is usually $100.00 and the injections and meal replacements are in addition to this low fee. You will be on your way to losing pounds and inches as well as achieving a healthier lifestyle.
What about subsequent visits to Precision Weight Loss Center?
Because we have found that those clients who come in for weekly weigh-ins do much better than those who come in less frequently, we now strongly encourage our clients to come in weekly. These weekly weigh-ins are included with your initial office visit fee, and we continue to guide you, advise you, celebrate with you, encourage you, and hold you accountable. We become your family, and you are considered as part of the Precision family. For your visits when appetite suppressants need to be refilled, we refer to these visits as monthly visits and they are no more than $50 per monthly visit. Oftentimes, we have great specials, making this monthly fee less.
Do you have to sign a contract at Precision Weight Loss Center?
At Precision Weight Loss Center, there are no obligations. The only thing that we expect is for you to try your best at losing weight and inches while leading a healthier lifestyle. We know what works, but we also know that our clients come to us with different needs, expectations and budgets.

Where is Precision Weight Loss Center located?
Precision Weight Loss Center started in Lithia Springs, Georgia and opened its second location in Atlanta, Georgia in the Atlanta Airport in the Camp Creek Marketplace area. Our original location is being modified, and we continue to look for the ideal location for our next facility. At the same time, we are working to provide our services to clients all over the United States with the use of our incredible technology, internet, and telephone.

What are your business hours?
We are open Monday through Thursday 10 am – 7 pm (Closed 1-2 for a healthy lunch), Friday 10 am – 2 pm , every 1st and 3rd Saturday 10 am – 2 pm.
Does Precision Weight Loss Center take health insurance?

We do not accept checks and do not file with any insurance companies. However, we are working with many major health insurance plans and we may start taking health insurance payments once the health insurance companies, Medicaid, and Medicare reform their payment and reimbursement systems.
Is it possible for someone who lives outside of Georgia to take part in the Precision Weight Loss Center weight management program?
The answer is yes. Precision Weight Loss Center is working with an impressive list of major partners so that all of our services can be delivered to you in the comfort of your own home regardless of the city and state that you live in. If you will be taking controlled drugs such as phentermine or HCG, then you must be seen by the physician initially. Your weight can then be managed over any distance with the help of our technology and the internet and telephone.
What are the benefits of meal replacements during weight loss and maintenance?
With meal replacements, nutrition needs are met without excess calories, meal planning is simplified to increase compliance, temptations are reduced, nutritional quality is increased, costs savings are experienced, and the ability to maintain weight loss is enhanced.
Why do meal replacements help maintain weight?
Meal replacements can provide structure to the daily food intake resulting in dietary compliance. Researchers found improved behavioral compliance, increased nutritional knowledge about their intake, and that meal replacements helped people maintain a more regular eating schedule with fewer snacks (Wing R.R., Jeffery, R.W. “Food Provisions as a Strategy to Promote Weight Loss.” Obesity Research 2001, 9 (Supp. 4) 271S). Meal replacements provide convenience to the client. One regular meal a day in conjunction with meal replacements reduces the need for additional food shopping and preparation. They are easy to carry and store. The client can track intake by easily monitoring use of the meal replacement daily. There are potential cost savings when compared to food costs.
Can you tell me about your Vitamin B-12 injections?
B-12 is needed for many daily functions in your body. B-12 is found in many foods and multi-vitamins. However, B-12 is much better absorbed by the body through intra-muscular injections than through oral intake in the form of pills, liquids, or food. At Precision Weight Loss Center, we administer 1000 mcg of B-12 via intra-muscular injections that many clients get weekly. B-12 boosts your red blood cells (RBCs), and these cells carry oxygen and nutrition around the body to your cells, tissues, and muscles. As result, your cellular metabolism is increased and your energy level increases. B-12 helps you deal with stress and enhances your memory.
Can you tell me about your Lipotropics, Lipo B, or Fat Burner injections?
Our Lipotropic B injections contain a mixture of all-natural vitamins and amino acids that specialize in mobilizing your body fat. As a result, fat is moved from your fat cells to your liver where the fat is then flushed from your body. The injections increase your metabolism and helps promote weight loss and the melting of inches from the areas that you are trying to target. Many of our clients receive these injections weekly, and they are seeing some phenomenal results. In early 2011, we had one client lose four inches in her waist in only 3 weeks! The following week, we had another client lose four inches in the waist in only 2 weeks! All injections are comfortable, well-tolerated, and performed while using a sterile technique in our clean environment.
What type of weight loss should I expect after joining Precision Weight Loss Center?
At Precision Weight Loss Center, we know how to successfully reach your weight loss goals in a very quick and safe way. If you completely follow our program without exception, you can expect to lose 10 percent of your current weight every 5-7 weeks! You can expect to lose 2-10 pounds the first week and then 3-5 pounds on average per week after that, if you have a lot of pounds to lose initially. If you have 10 pounds or 110 pounds to lose, Precision Weight Loss Center can effectively get you to your goals in a very affordable and safe way.
Is your program safe?
Absolutely, it is safe. We ask that you come in weekly for the proper oversight, guidance, encouragement and celebration. When our program is followed to the letter, our clients receive the adequate amount of proteins, vitamins, minerals, and more. When our program is not completely followed, then our clients accept liability and responsibility for their lack of complete compliance.
Do I have to stay on this program for life?
At Precision Weight Loss Center, we are all about lifestyle changes. So the answer is yes. Although you may not come to us for life, we wish for you to learn the new habits and daily practices of maintaining a healthy weight and better lifestyle. We help you lose the weight and inches, then we show you how to keep these pounds and inches off through lifestyle changes and education.
Can any protein bar or protein shake be used?
At Precision Weight Loss Center, we don’t force anyone to use our products, but we have done the hard work of researching products on your behalf. As a result, we have chosen products that taste good and contain the right amount of calories, protein, carbohydrates, fats, sodium, vitamins, fiber, and cholesterol. Only five percent of our clients can do the program on their own with products other than ours and achieve results that match ours! Therefore, we recommend our products with our program and weekly oversight.
Can I just eat fruit or some other food item that I really like because it is healthy?
The answer is no. At Precision Weight Loss Center, we promote doing everything in moderation. Eating too much fruit or anything else can cause decreased weight loss or even weight gain. In the case of fruit, fruit contains high amounts of carbohydrates which can slow down the burning of fat and weight loss.
What is this HCG that I keep hearing about and you are now offering?
HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. Although HCG has not been scientifically proven to cause weight loss, the non-scientific evidence and testimonies are undeniable. With HCG, people are losing ½ to 2 pounds per day, if the HCG protocol is strictly followed without any exceptions. Although named a hormone, it is not like you typical hormones like estrogen, testosterone, or thyroid stimulating hormone. It is naturally made by the human body, and it used to detect pregnancy in women because the woman’s level of HCG rises during pregnancy. It acts at the mid-brain level and decreases appetite while, at the same time, mobilizes unhealthy fat from stored deposits into the blood stream so the contents can be used as nutrition for the unborn baby in the pregnant female or for you during weight loss. We have not experienced or witnessed any serious side effects with its use in our weight management program. Yes, we now offer it after our physicians thoroughly researched its merit as part of our program. We offer the best products from credible suppliers and at the best prices around.
I have heard of HCG but which works better when considering oral, sublingual, and injection?
HCG in the injection form works the best, and this is what we offer at Precision Weight Loss Center for a period of 23 days.
Can anyone take the appetite suppressants?
No. Although the appetite suppressants are FDA approved and very safe for many people, they are not for those with known heart or lung issues, uncontrolled high blood pressure, those taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors, or currently pregnant. The good news is that you do not have to take appetite suppressants to take advantage of the great benefits from our program and health management. You can do the remainder of the program and still see great results with weight, inches, and lifestyle changes.
Can someone with diabetes be part of the Precision Weight Loss Center Program?
Absolutely, someone with diabetes would greatly benefit from our program. In fact, many prominent hospitals and health centers that treat diabetes envy our program because of the results that we get for their patients while under our guidance. The results include tight glycemic control, weight loss, better eating, and better lifestyle decisions. With Precision Weight Loss Center, diabetic patients can easily create their own personal health team that includes the physician, health coach, dietitian, and certified fitness trainer! This team can better manage their health than most renowned centers in the United States.
Can I take part of the program if I have high blood pressure?
You can take part in our program with or without blood pressure issues! We manage health issues that favorably impact any and all health issues. By losing weight and dangerous excess inches around your waist, you have a better chance of getting your blood pressure better controlled and hopefully to the point that your medications can be reduced or eliminated. If your blood pressure is elevated and out of control, we will not give you the appetite suppressants because they can cause your blood pressure to increase more.
How does the thyroid play a role in weight loss?
The thyroid gland is an organ that is located in the neck between your chin and your shoulders. It produces a thyroid hormone that is very important in regulating many body actions, including your body’s metabolism. With too little thyroid hormone, your body’s metabolism will be very low, leading to weight gain and possibly obesity. For this reason, it is wise to check your thyroid hormone level with a simple and easy lab test to make sure that this easily treatable condition or hypothyroidism or “low thyroid” can be treated. We test for this with our comprehensive lab assessment.
Do I have to get labs and why are they important to a weight management program?
At Precision Weight Loss Center, we and you will see that exterior evidence of our success. That is, we will see the pounds come off and the inches melt away. You, your family, and your friends will see this too. Just as important is the need for us to see the objective evidence that you and your body are getting better on the inside! We do this through our assessment of many lab values. When you start the program, we can use labs that have done within the past three months or labs that get done within the first 30 days of program commencement. These labs can be done with your regular physician, a hospital or at the Precision Weight Loss Center for a very affordable fee. The labs assess your liver function, kidney function, blood glucose (or “blood sugar”), electrolytes, nutritional status, anemia risk, lipid panel (i.e., total cholesterol, “good” cholesterol, and “bad” cholesterol), and thyroid hormone levels. If we don’t have these after a certain period of time while in the program, we reserve the right to not have you as a client at Precision Weight Loss Center.
Can you tell me how exercise is viewed at Precision Weight Loss Center?
At Precision Weight Loss Center, we value exercise and especially cardio because it is good for your heart, for weight loss, for stress relief, and for your bones and joints when done properly with the proper nutrition, rest, and guidance. For this reason, we incorporate exercise into our program for effective long-term results and a better lifestyle. During your consultation, you will be instructed on how to get the most out of your cardio routine at a very high level with general instructions. We are very pleased to have certified fitness experts on board who will speak with you, if you elect to incorporate them into your personal plan. They can assess where you are from a fitness standpoint, where you want to be, and what customized program that is needed to get you there both quickly and safely.
Can I eat “real food” with the Precision Weight Loss Center program?
Yes, you can. We are proud of the fact that we have a structured program that allows for flexibility and the creation of new, healthy behavioral changes and habits. Our protein meal replacements provide the structure while you eating regular foods from our food lists provide the flexibility. We are very happy to have teamed up with Service Foods so that they can conveniently ship all-natural foods directly to your home for healthy preparation and consumption.
