“Weigh of Life” is a 12-week weight-management and healthy lifestyle program.
Each session features an interactive lesson, food diary review, a weigh-in, and an opportunity to ask and receive feedback and coaching from a supportive instructor. The course includes a wide range of topics aimed at helping participants succeed in making a lasting lifestyle change.
During the 12-week program, participants will learn, among other topics: Steps to successful weight management; What fad diets are and why they don’t work; How to manage portions and read nutrition labels; Tools to overcome obstacles; The connection between food and mood; The power of positive thinking; How to control your weight without being hungry; Healthy ways to boost physical activity; The benefits of vegetarian proteins; How to eat healthy without breaking the bank; Tips to dine out sensibly; Smartly navigate the grocery store; Ways to maintain motivation and set reasonable goals.
