Melanie's Weight Loss Journey In Her Own Words

Good morning Dr Adkins,

Again, thank you. I will tell you that most of the time when I am approached by someone with questions about my weight loss and the program and how it works, I reply with "Desperation brought me here. Success keeps me here." I even said that to another patient in the waiting room one morning. (That patient had just started.) That is truly how I felt having previously been successful at my own weight loss plans in the past but I knew I was missing something when my own latest attempt(s) had not worked. Frustration was not going to conquer me so my journey with Carolinas Weight Loss began.

This is absolutely the best investment I have ever made! The benefits only seem to multiply. Though I never felt bad before (I have been very blessed with good health.), I feel the best I have ever felt in my adult life! Through this journey, I have grown as a person as well as in knowledge, understanding more about myself, my emotions and the way my body processes the nutrition that I feed it. These things I take with me for the rest of my life. I truly loved the one-to-one approach and individualized attention. Knowing you were always available via email only enhanced the program and confirmed you truly cared about your patients. The rest of the staff was also very cordial and friendly, making the weekly visit a pleasure. I plan to always be an ambassador for the program.


You have tried every fad diet with very little or maybe very short-lasting success. If you’ve been suffering with fatigue, not being able to lose weight regardless of what you, then this may be the most important message you’ve read in a very long time.

Using the most up-to-date clinical and nutritional evaluation we created a comprehensive weight loss program that is specific to each patient’s needs. We have combined the best of the weight loss protocols and nutritional medicine to bring Gastonia and Charlotte area residents a safe and exciting weight loss approach that moves beyond the simplistic and short termed weight loss models.

We are committed to present to you a unique plan that addresses the key to the long-term success of your weight loss. And the results are so motivational… you'll want to read their stories, in their own words.

Enjoy our patient testimonials then go to the Free Consultation page to schedule your complimentary Weight Loss Consultation. We are looking forward to meeting soon and helping you overcome your weight loss challenges, fast and safe, just like we helped our patient M.
