Pasadena Weight Loss Center

The employees are all very kind people who work really hard to ensure that they can improve the lives of anyone who wishes to sign up. I have been following their plan for a month and have lost 16lbs which was very difficult for me on my own. They are very flexible with your time and your food preferences and make a plan according to your specific needs. And it isn’t just a plan to make you lose weight, it’s also a guide on how to have a better life. I highly recommend that if you wish to lose weight and better your life overall then you should come here.

It took me a while to find a place like this. I really wanted trainers who understand the particular challenges of people over 50. This is the place!I’ve been participating in their program for about 6 weeks and I’ve lost 13 lbs feel great. The workouts are intense but only 30 minutes long. And the coaches are fantastic. So knowledgeable, professional and supportive.

It is everything I have needed for so long. I am learning so much about health and exercise and my body in order to look great and feel great. The program is so personal. I love it.

If I could give less than a star I would. The doctor was wonderful however the sales staff was horrible. From making me cry during my first consultation to harassing me on my cell phone MONTHS later every month to this DAY even after BEGGING them to stop. HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE do not give them your phone number if you do not have $$$$$. They want your $$$$$$ and lots of it.

I've been having a problem with my legs for the last 10 or more years. In the past I've loved running and for these last 10 years this has been something of the past. But now the future looks a whole lot brighter with going to Pasadena Weight Loss Center. They have a very unique way of doing a detox which I've never experienced and after the first treatment I could feel a massive difference. And now am doing this on a weekly basis. The staff here are very friendly and do want to help me achieve my goal of being able to run a marathon again this year. Thanks guys, you all are Great.

A very caring staff. They stay with you to create success. Highly recommend.

My husband and I started Dr. Matar's plan 11 weeks ago and it's been nothing but successful! Together, we have lost almost 70lbs and countless inches off our entire bodies. At first Dr. Maters plan can be challenging, but with time, effort, and perseverance you will find the challenges get easier and the results (ie, continuous weight loss, improved overall health stats, feeling healthier...) are rewarding! Also overtime, you will find that your desires for unhealthy food reduce significantly, but when you do have those cravings, Dr. Matar and his staff work with you to find a solution. Overall my husband and I are very pleased with our results and not only look forward in continuing to work with PWLC in achieving our ultimate goals, but also to living a longer and healthier life style!

I had recently recovered from foot surgery during which time I had gain a lot of weight that I loss during the prior year. While I have had a lot of temporary success throughout my life with weight loss, I was never able to keep it off. I saw a YouTube video regarding Dr. Matar's clinic and saw a few likes from my Facebook friends and decided to inquire. This has by far been the healthiest and easiest method of weight loss that I have experienced. The approach was to educate me on how to eat healthy foods that I enjoy and lose weight in the process. Dr. Matar and his staff knows the human body and how it reacts to food, stress etc. The focus was not to lose as much weight as quick as possible, but to eat healthly. However, the results was a significant amount of weight loss (about 40 lbs) in a relatively short period of time . I was amazed that I was losing this much weight and was never hungry and very little to no cravings for unhealthly fattening foods. If you are truly ready to lose the weight and keep it off the right way then I highly recommend the Pasadena Weight Loss Center. You will not be dissapointed.

Dr. Matar offers a healthy, life-long solution tailored to you. I started my program at the end of January and by early May I had reached my goal and lost 25 pounds in a healthy way. I continued with Dr. Matar through August to ensure I had the skills to maintain the weight and not fall back to old behaviors. In the process, I saw other friends start and stop one fad diet or another with no results, while I had a new-found control.Dr. Matar’s approach is holistic. He addresses sleep, exercise, nutrition, vitamin-deficiency and toxins in the body. For the program to work, you need to be committed, because it is challenging. I suspect everyone has different struggles, like difficulties getting enough sleep; but not only will you learn tangible skills for weight loss and management, you will uncover things about yourself that led up to the weight gain. In my case, I realized that I had put everything and everybody ahead of myself.Dr. Matar’s coaching sessions are priceless. I came in once a week and each week, try as I might to meet the rigor of the program, there were things I had trouble implementing. Dr. Matar would ask questions to understand what the issue was, and would find solutions to issues I didn’t even realize existed. He’d suggest a new approach, a new twist to make the program fit my lifestyle or help me realize that I could incorporate it into my busy life. Dr. Matar’s main focus is to help you think differently about the way you approach nutrition and incorporate these healthy practices into your life, not to make you follow a list of instructions blindly. It’s difficult at first, but once you start to see the results, you are hooked. It will continue to be difficult, because our society does not eat this way, but the things you learn, you can share with the people you love. Already my closest family has benefited.I would call the 8 months I dedicated to Dr. Matar’s Well, Fit, Slim program one of the turning points of my life. It has given me a new-found confidence that I am in control of my weight and my time. It showed me that I am capable of great change. If you have an urgency to lose weight and you want to do it in a healthful manner, this is the solution for you.

I was 59 years old and approaching 350 lbs. and I was about a month away from having weight loss surgery. I was convinced that it was my last option to loosing weight. One of my sons was not supportive at all with me having the surgery. I was going to have the "sleeve" surgery where they cut out half of your stomach. My son kept saying, "Dad, please don't have your stomach cut out!" My wife was being supportive of whatever decision I made but she had a friend who had been seeing Dr. Matar for some months and was impressed with the results she was seeing with her friend and the things she was telling my wife about Dr. Matar's approach to healthy living, eating and weight loss. Well, my wife kept asking me to go and see Dr. Matar for awhile and I just resisted thinking that weight loss surgery was my only answer. When she insisted that I just go for a consultation and that if I didn't like what I heard from Dr. Matar she would support me in the weight loss surgery. My son said, "Dad, if they're telling you that the weight loss surgery won't work unless you change your lifestyle, then change the lifestyle and keep your stomach." So I made the appointment and there was a fee for the consultation which didn't bother me because they had me fill out a questionnaire before I had my appointment and then on the day of the consultation they did a body analysis with some machine (very painless). Then I saw the Dr. afterwards. Based on my answers to the questionnaire and my body analysis he pegged a major problem I was having and that was lack of sleep. I was averaging 4 hours a night. I was drinking up to 6 cups of coffee a day and still finding myself dozing off at my desk at work and eating sugar throughout the day just to keep myself going. Now I'm averaging 6.5 hours a sleep a night and working on getting my sleep average to 8 hours a night. What I learned from Dr. Matar and later through other research how lack of sleep lends itself to weight gain and obesity. The thing Dr. Matar asked me on my first visit that got my attention was whether I was willing not to just loose weight but to change my lifestyle. He said if I changed my lifestyle of eating and exercise that my body would form to my lifestyle. I also realized after my first visit with Dr. Matar that the weight loss surgery would have put my health at serious risk - that I would essentially be starving myself for nutrition. To make a long story short, I have been in the program for 14 months and I have lost a total of 105 pounds to date, I've lost 12 inches in my waist and I'm fitting into extra large clothing vs. 3x clothing. At first Dr. Matar got me to walk just 10 minutes a day, then a week later 20 minutes a day, then a week later 30 minutes a day. Now I'm exercising 90 minutes a day on a treadmill, elliptical and weight training. To help in changing my lifestyle I set a goal to hike to the top of Mt. Whitney this August. I've been training for it for a year. In 2014 my goal is to hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and in 2015 hike to top of Half-dome rock in Yosemite. The benefit I've received from Dr. Matar is the education to know what is happening to my body with proper nutrition and exercise, plus his staff is very supportive on your journey. I get helpful ideas and support from Dr. Matar and his staff throughout the week on email. I highly recommend Pasadena Weight Loss Center to you.
