JumpstartMD is a great program. The program guide was easy to follow and the daily tracker made it easy to see how many proteins and carbs I had left for the day. It was hard at first to schedule the 3 small meals and 2 snacks into my day but after a few weeks I got The hang of it. The staff are great, they praise you when you do well and give you gentle reminders when you need to change something. I have been on a few weight loss programs and I find JumpstartMD to be the best. Weight loss programs always tell you that you s... read more

I only started a week ago and will update my review later. I knew I needed help. Taking medication and turning 50 meant I couldn't eat as I was before. This week has been tough. I felt tired and I really missed pasta my first few days.Yesterday my energy picked up. I have lost 5 pounds this week. Their nutritional focus is eating small amounts often, mainly protein, some fruit, some vegetables, and healthy fats. You get fat burning injections of choline and inositol with one other thing I can't remember what it is, and appet... read more

So--it's been a little over 6 months since I started the program. In 6 months, I lost 58 pounds easily, just by following the carb and protein plan set up at my initial visit, and walking a few miles 3 days a week. I can't believe how quickly it happened, and wish I had started years ago. Hindsight is 20/20 though :) When I had a week where the scale didn't budge, the counselors problem solved with me and helped me bust through the plateau. Can't say enough good things about it. Looking forward to continuing.

Here's an update on Maintenance. First of all I no longer have high blood pressure or high cholesterol. My blood chemistry is "normal" for the first time in decades. Maintenance has it's challenges, figuring out a plan that is customized for me has been a bit of struggle. Fortunately Jumpstart set me up with the dietician and a counselor named Chung who specializes in people who like to work out (that's me). My goal was to maintain my weight and reduce my body fat and build lean muscle. Chung help me customize my eating plan... read more

June 6, 2013 Jump Start Weight Loss Program........ a perfect 10. Paula Jeha a client of mine and a friend, introduced me to the program. I was 186 pds. over weight and on medication for blood pressure and cholesterol. I was on the medication preidonse for a couple of years, it made me balloon up to 186 pds. Paula introduced me to the program based upon it results. So after trying to lose weight by numerous other methods, pills, diets, working out at the gym with a private trainer I was still still over weight. Not... read more

I started the program on February 15 and have reached my goal and more at 30 pounds. The program was easy to use. Basically the same as Weight Watchers where you check boxes rather than points but, more restricted as you are limiting your carb intake. Did not feel like I was starving and liked that they will monitor your weight loss to ensure you are losing more fat than muscle. As some of the other reviewers stated it can be expensive, but worth it and more incentive to lose the weight faster and then maintain on the mo... read more

I started Jumpstart March 21, 2013. I've been overweight since I was 18, I'm 55 now. I found this to be the best diet I've ever been on. low carb diets have always been referred to me by doctors before but I could not last more than 3 weeks on them due to a lot of fatigue. This gives you more carbs than the typical low carb diet. You eat real food, not pre-packaged food. They also have great high protein, high fiber bars and with lower carbs, you need the extra fiber. The Pleasanton clinic helps me with any problems I... read more
