Side Effects: The DietDemand side effects to keep an eye out for include the onset of headaches, irritability, restlessness, slight water retention, tenderness of breast tissue, swelling of the injection site, and depression. There are some rare, severe side effects as well which include the development of ovarian hyper stimulation in females. The latter condition requires immediate medical treatment and is accompanied by the following symptoms: tremendous pain in the region of the pelvis, the swelling of feet, legs, and hands, abdominal pain, abdominal swelling, difficulty breathing, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, a diminishing of urination, and weight gain. If a user of DietDemand products notes any side effects it is recommended that he or she cease using the products immediately and that he or she seek out the assistance of a physician.

There are no therapies at Diet Demand that are acceptable for pregnant woman. I understand that a record will be kept of the health services provided to me. This record will be kept confidential, and will not be released to others unless so directed by myself, my representative, or unless law requires. I understand that I may look at my medical record and can request a copy of my record by my paying the appropriate fee. I understand that my medical record will be kept no more than ten years after the date of my last treatment. I understand that the doctor will answer any questions that I might have. With this knowledge, I voluntarily consent to the above procedures. I realize that neither the doctor nor any personnel of DietDemand has made any absolute guarantees to me regarding cure or improvement of my condition. I understand that I am free to withdraw my consent and discontinue participation in these procedures at any time. I waive my right to future litigation regarding my present health condition by signing this agreement. DietDemand has been providing weight loss care for almost a decade. We previously maintained two dozen physical locations and the success rate was in the low 60%. When telemedicine was offered, along with multiple, vital consultations with the weight loss doctors, nutritionists, nurses, care managers, your expected, success rate climbs to 98%. This only happens when all consults scheduled are kept and the personalized diet protocol is followed. Each consult has a purpose and is unique. You will receive an automated call reminder 2 days before each consult. Please keep these 4 consults to increase your chances for success. If you hit a plateau (weight loss slow down), call/email as there is always a reason why this could happen. You will be required to submit a food journal of what you consumed the past few days. With this knowledge, I agree and consent to these consults and realize if I do not complete 4 consults within a 6 week period, my success rate could drop as much as 36%.
I acknowledge that I have received a copy of the Statement of Privacy Practices for the office of DietDemand. The Statement of Privacy Practices describes the types of uses and disclosures of my protected health information that might occur in my treatment, payment for services, or in the performance of office health care operations.
