Besides eating healthy, many of us need to lose a few pounds. I have found a no-nonsense no-hunger weight-loss plan that really works. The Charleston Program has been designed for people who are anywhere from 2 to 200 pounds overweight. It will not only work for the slightly overweight person who needs to lose a few pounds to look good in a bathing suit, but also for the very obese person who has tried to lose weight for years.


The program is proven and is safe. It is an exciting plan developed by an expert doctor who has more than 30 years of clinical practice and who is one of America's most respected clinical weight-loss experts. In fact, many of the principles have been taught by Dr. Johnson to other diet doctors at the American Society of Bariatric Physicians. The program was developed by Dr. Johnson after years of research and from his clinical practice as director of the Bariatric Medicine Center in Charleston, SC. The program was designed not only for weight-loss, but for other health benefits such as reduction in serum cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure. Now the plan is the basis of an excitingly successful total weight-loss/motivation program that Dr. Johnson has placed with more than 800 physicians who are using it to work with an estimated 70,000 patients.

Dr. Johnson is a native South Carolinian and a graduate of the Medical University of South Carolina. He has been in the clinical practice of medicine in Charleston for 34 years and is founder and director of the Bariatric Medicine Center in Charleston. Dr. Johnson is one of the most well-known physicians in the world in the treatment of obesity. He served as president of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians for two terms, and as Chairman of their Board of Directors. He also was president of the South Carolina Chapter of the American Society of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, is a fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians, and a diplomat of the American Board of Bariatric Medicine. He was named Bariatric Physician of the Year in 1983.
