A Brief Overview of DietwoRx

How Our Physician Recommended Weight Loss Program Works

DietwoRx is a physician supervised low calorie diet for weight loss of greater than 20 pounds. It is intended to help our patients achieve optimum health, and maintain their weight for a lifetime.

The plan has been studied in clinical trials at Johns Hopkins University and demonstrated an average weight loss of over 50 pounds in 6 months.

This is a FREE program set up by your HealthwoRx physicians. The only expense is the cost of delicious meal replacements which are purchased directly from DietwoRx, a leader in physician supervised nutrition for over 26 years. The foods are produced in Owings Mills, Maryland and shipped directly to your door. Over 60 meal varieties are available.

After enrolling a Health Coach from HealthwoRx will be in touch with you (at no charge) to help with any questions, tips and support. As clinical studies have shown, support is an important part of weight loss.  Our professionals help make the difference between weight loss success and failure.

Additionally, free web based support with wonderful instructional tools and educational materials are available through our partner website. While on the diet we suggest that you see your physician regularly - this will vary based on your specific health needs.
