Q Replenish your body with plenty of liquids always, especially during exercise. client‘s progress with checkâ€"ups or a review of charts every week. The client is usually ready to start the diet immediately. The Argus clinic will sell protein or mineral supplements and vitamins, but it is up to the client to purchase his or her own food. The diet used at the Argus clinic was developed 20 years ago by Montreal doctor Maurice Larocque, and contains no miracles or tricks â€" simply a sensible diet of lowâ€"fat, lowâ€"carbohydrate foods supplemented by protein. The emphasis on protein maintenance is an important factor, notes Greg Thomson. "You don‘t want to lose lean tisâ€" sue, and that includes muscle and body organs," the doctor explained. "We emphasize no loss of muscle mass or fatty acids or amino acids." The first week, a woman on an 800â€"calorieâ€"perâ€"day diet will lose between 12 and 15 lbs. and a man may lose 15 to 20 Ibs. And surprisâ€" ingly, says Sherry Thomson, the customer may actually feel more peppy than before, thanks to the proâ€" tein supplements. "With higher proâ€" tein, people feel more energetic," says the clinic manager. "By decreasing the fat levels, they don‘t feel so sluggish. People are amazed." Recognizing triggers Sherry Thomson‘s role is to proâ€" vide psychological counselling, such as recognizing "triggers" that cause binge eating. Her sessions are supâ€" plemented by brochures, video and audio tapes and even an educational computer program. But the biggest motivator to sticking to the new eatâ€" ing habits comes from within â€" the client will feel bloated and slow whenever they ‘eat fattening foods and will come to lose their appetite for them. As for cost, there is a $30 for the initial consultation and a monthly fee of $65 for the followâ€"up visits (you can visit every day if you have _ to). The protein supplements cost $4 per day.
