28 Weeks to Improved Weight, Nutrition and Health
LOSE is a wise investment in your employees’ health and future. It’s a 28-week, life-changing educational process that teaches participants lifestyle and nutritional changes designed to lead to a gradual, sensible improvement of body composition.
LOSE begins with a comprehensive assessment and educational period – when a physician and nurse educator team collect and evaluate current and historical medical data to form a thorough picture of an employee’s medical status, physical health and other needs. We provide a comprehensive report that outlines current health status and recommends ways to improve personal health … and every service we perform is confidential.
Next, participants begin to change their lives through 24 weeks of intensive education on nutrition, exercise, body composition and other general health principles. Lunchtime group meetings include time spent in “food labs” where we offer practical experience in evaluating foods and learning basic principles of nutrition. Each participant also meets individually with a nurse educator to assess individual progress and review and discuss personal food and exercise records. Homework is included in the process, allowing participants to become fully committed to enhancing their health.
Obesity and other nutrition-related health concerns may be serious factors in many life-threatening diseases, including diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, cancer, high cholesterol and orthopaedic problems. For those who have struggled to control their weight, tried diets with little success and who are seriously ready to develop good nutrition and exercise habits, LOSE will provide the skills, encouragement and professional support necessary for success.
