With the NEC Method, the body is fed through a nasogastric tube or orally with only proteins, without sugars or fats. In this way, the body develops the formation of substances called ketone bodies, whose presence cancels out the feeling of hunger. The ketone bodies formed are the result of the transformation process of fat storage necessary to carry out normal physical activities and the attainment of sugars by proteins in the liver, for cognitive activity and intellectual processes in the brain. Thus, excess fat is completely eliminated, and muscles are strengthened, as a result, it is possible to lose weight in record time.

With the NEC Method you are guaranteed a painless experience. The insertion of the nasogastric tube is performed without the need for sedatives or anesthesia.

Oral route not applicable.

Continuous administration of NEC results in the formation of ketone bodies, which effectively curbs hunger. This appetite suppression allows the body to use stored fat to obtain the energy you need in your day-to-day life, leading to weight loss. The absence of hunger pangs ensures compliance with the treatment regimen, making it easier for people to achieve their weight loss goals.

The duration of NEC weight loss treatment is tailored to the individual needs of each patient. The initial treatment phase lasts 10 days, facilitating a daily weight loss of approximately 1% of body weight. This personalized approach ensures effective and sustainable results for each patient.

The NEC Method treatment is hailed as the fastest, safest and most effective method for losing weight.

Before starting treatment with NEC Method for weight loss, patients must undergo a series of blood tests to assess their suitability for the procedure.

One of the great things about the NEC Method for weight loss is its compatibility with your daily routine. Unlike some intensive treatments that require major lifestyle adjustments, NEC allows you to seamlessly integrate the treatment plan into your regular activities. Whether driving to work, fulfilling professional responsibilities, or exercising, NEC allows you to continue with your regular tasks without any interruption.

After the initial 10 days of enteral feeding, the journey doesn't end: it moves on to a new phase focused on maintaining results and continuing to make progress. At this stage, a personalized nutritional plan prescribed by Dr. Cruz comes into play. This plan is tailored to your specific needs and goals, whether it's maintaining the weight loss you've achieved or continuing to lose additional pounds.

For some people, achieving the desired weight loss may require more than one cycle of NEC treatment. In such cases, the option to repeat treatment offers a path to continued progress and transformation. After a maintenance period, characterized by education about healthy eating habits, patients can embark on subsequent cycles of enteral feeding to further refine their results. For those with significant weight loss, additional cycles will be evaluated and planned to be repeated in a few months, with the goal of achieving a weight loss of 90 to 100 pounds over a 5 to 6 month period.
