The Diet Center is now located in Vestavia Hills. Cheryl Davis, owner-manager and Certified Counselor, has 7 years’ experience as a Diet Center Counselor and, as a veteran of the diet wars herself, has lost over 30 pounds on the program.

There are three different weight loss plans available that, in conjunction with the Diet Center Supplement (B complex vitamins in a soy base), are tailored to each individual’s needs and preferences—(a) grocery store foods; (b) meal replacement bars and/or shakes for convenience or (c) exact menus used in conjunction with special appetite-suppressant fat-burning products for a faster 10-15 pound loss. There are no drugs or injections on Diet Center programs, and all meet guidelines of The American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, the American Diabetes Association and the USDA Food Guide Pyramid.

Cheryl strongly encourages clients to check in with her at least twice weekly and daily when possible. The consistent accountability and encouragement have proven to be critical factors in completing all four phases of the program—Conditioning, Weight Loss, Stabilization and year-long Maintenance—as have the regular private body composition analyses and before and after pictures and measurements. Dieters are also encouraged to diet with a partner to increase their success.

For most people, being overweight is not a curable condition but one that can only be kept in remission. Successful weight loss, stabilization and maintenance require a lifestyle change, and that takes several months to achieve and a lifetime to practice.
