Develop your new image for spring

   New Image Weight Loss Clinic wants to help area residents with a new image for spring.
   New Image's goal is to help their clients work toward a more healthy lifestyle. "Unfortunately, today's society creates an overweight person and, in the same breath, puts them down," said owner Connie Hicks.
   New Image Weight Loss Clinics provide their clients with a variety of programs, which are available with or without an appetite suppressant, Phentermine. The clinics, according to Hicks, tend to see a higher success rate with the use of Phentermine.
   One-on-one counseling is provided as needed. Diets are designed to be easy to follow, allowing clients to use regular grocery store food items. New Image carries several lines of supplements, such as hot chocolate, cold drinks and nutrient bars to curb a sweet tooth and kickstart the metabolism.
   Average weight loss falls between 2-5 pounds each week and is closely regulated by a physician's assistant. The medical industry has long recommended that patients see a physician's assistant before starting any dieting program.
   Vitamin packs and B-12 injections are also included with all the diet programs. Once a weight loss goal has been reached, New Image has maintenance programs in place that will assist their clients in keeping the weight off.
   Hicks started working in the weight loss environment and decided this was the path she wanted to take with her life. She started her own clinic in Johnson City 10 years ago and opened a second clinic in Mountain City.
   The New Image clinic in Johnson City is located at 600 N. State of Franklin Road, Suite 5. For more information, call 232-7600. The clinic in Mountain City is located at 204 Pioneer Village Drive. For more information, call 727-4107.
