Mission:
To help you achieve a lifetime of weight control and fitness by making positive, realistic and permanent changes in eating and exercise habits.

From gym memberships and fad diets, to diet pills and supplements, weight loss has ironically become as American as apple pie. Yet, despite hours in the gym and a booming diet industry, millions of Americans fail to lose the
weight and keep it off.
While working out
and eating less are
definitely
good habits, they may not be enough to help keep the weight off. That's why The University
Hospital 'Healthy Eating, Healthy Lifestyles' Weight Management Program teaches the importance of weight management, leading a healthier lifestyle, and other key factors that help sustain weight loss.
An
Alternative to Surgery?
For those considering surgery (such as gastric bypass
surgery), it's a good idea to check with a doctor to see if a weight management program is the way to go. In some cases, the program can either be combined
with surgical procedures or replace them all together.
In fact, weight management programs like The University Hospital 'Healthy Eating,
Healthy Lifestyles' program are highly recommended by weight
loss experts and doctors alike. Dr. Asha Bale, from
The University Hospital Obesity Treatment Center, agrees that this is a healthy alternative to achieve weight loss goals: "Success with weight loss is easier with the support and guidance of trained professionals. Our nutritionists teach participants how to make good food choices and help them stay motivated. This exciting new program is a great way to learn how to change one's lifestyle in order to achieve weight loss and better health."

Unlike other weight loss programs and support groups The University Hospital weight management
program, provides members with the tools to lose weight
and keep it off. The program combines diet, physical
activity and behavior modification, so that the end
results are healthy habits, a healthier lifestyle and
eventually– a slimmer waist line.
Indeed, weight loss has been shown to improve existing health problems and decrease future health risks (from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute Expert Panel in Identification, Evolution, Treatment of Overweight, and Obesity in Adults). Even moderate weight loss of 10% body weight can reduce health risks by lowering blood pressure, blood/glucose levels and serum triglycerides, increasing HDL cholesterol, and improving insulin sensitivity.
How
it Works
Healthy Eating, Healthy Lifestyles is a hospital-based
program where participants receive a personalized 12-week
weight loss plan from a Registered Dietitian.
Obese, a bit overweight, or simply trying to get healthier, the program can help anyone achieve weight loss goals by changing habits and providing the tools and knowledge to lead a healthier
life.
There are Two Versions of the 12 Week Program:
