A pilot study of the Anemone Type 2 Diabetes Reversal Program showed 80% of patients starting the program achieved complete type 2 diabetes remission (normal blood sugar off all diabetic medications).

The study is in publication to The Journal of Obesity and Chronic Diseases.

The Anemone Program is a specialized Type 2 Diabetes Reversal and Weight Loss Program. We use the latest research and dietary techniques to eliminate your type 2 diabetes; meaning normal HbA1c, normal blood sugar and off all diabetic medications.

We partner with a renowned local catering company to provide you 100% of the food you eat on this program (5 meals per day). Since the meal’s macro-nutrients are carefully designed to provide the maximum efficacy in reversing diabetes, you simply eat the meals provided to lose weight, normalize blood sugar and reverse diabetes.

Our doctors and professional staff will meet with you before you start the program, one and two weeks after you start it, and then regularly once a month during the program. Our goal is to foster a relationship between provider-patient that will ensure long-term success (no weight regain, long-term diabetes remission).

Program Highlights:

1. Diabetes remission: Rapid normalization of glucose, medication reductions on Day 1 of the program, all diabetic medication typically eliminated within 1 month
2. Quick, sustainable weight loss: Patients typically lose 30-90+ pounds at a rate of 1-4 pounds per week
3. No hunger: In Anemone pilot studies less than 1 out of 5 patients experienced any significant hunger

Easy-to-follow, delicious meals

Anemone works with local catering companies in the region to produce high quality and delicious meals for our patients. Professional chefs prepare meals from fresh ingredients, package and flash freeze to ensure freshness, and deliver the meals to our Bethesda office.

Total meal replacement takes the guess-work out of dieting, simply eat the meals provided and reverse your diabetes, eliminate medications, and lose weight.

What can I expect?

Typical weight loss is 30-90 pounds at a rate of 1-4 pounds per week, depending on individual goals and starting weight. Hunger and cravings are minimal, if at all. Reduction of diabetic medications occur on Day 1 of the program, and all diabetic medication is typically eliminated by the first month of the program.

Do I need to have diabetes to start this program?

No! The same reasons why Anemone is so successful at reversing diabetes also make it highly effective as a weight loss program. The ketogenic diet trains your body to burn fat instead of sugar, without significant hunger. Patients typically lose 30-90 pounds at a rate of 1-4 pounds per week, depending on individual goals and…

What if I need to travel while on the program?

We can accommodate travel and have two options for this situation. One, we can have the weekly meal packages shipped to your travel destination. Alternatively, we will counsel you to find suitable food choices to eat while on your trip so that your progress is not lost.

What is a ketogenic diet?

Ketogenic diet is a very low carbohydrate, adequate protein, high fat diet designed to keep insulin and blood sugar levels low and stimulate your body’s production of ketones. Additionally, recent research has shown ketones to have anti-inflammatory, cognitive-boosting, and anti-oxidant properties, among many others (for more info click here) .

How is Anemone different than other diet programs?

Anemone is the only ketogenic total meal replacement program available. Other programs only supply some meals a day, still requiring you to plan meals, shop, cook and clean. We also use a much stricter protocol for the ketogenic diet. The meals have highly specific macronutrient ratios that would be very difficult to achieve eating on…

What is the cost of the program?

The cost varies depending on the conditions being treated; please contact us to find what program you are most suited for. The program cost is all-inclusive; we provide 100% of the food you eat on the program, in addition to personalized nutrition counseling, 24/7 access to physician and nutritionist advice, and metabolic monitoring to ensure consistent and effective progress is being made.
