Is FirstLine Therapy a weight-loss program?
No. FirstLine Therapy addresses body composition—promoting maintenance of lean body mass (muscle mass) while patients are losing fat. FirstLine Therapy integrates body composition testing as a part of patient assessment. Most programs only measure weight or body mass index (BMI) and do not offer strategies to maintain or enhance lean body mass while the patient loses fat mass. In fact, many programs result in a loss of muscle mass.
