Obesity is a risk factor for heart disease, cancer and diabetes - as well as arthritis and other conditions. While a high-protein diet increases these risks, our Nutrition & Cooking Class teaches food choices and food preparation that are high in fiber / low in fat and encourage weight control. When this is combined with a daily Exercise Program and Nutrition Counseling, many see improvement in weight and high blood pressure, as well as reduce their risk of cancer. Stress Management and Health Classes help motivate with a better understanding of how to face life's issues with confidence. Medical Testing and Diagnostics help evaluate a person's current health status and set goals for weight loss.
Here's the recommendation from the American Diabetes Association:
"Standard weight reduction diets, when used alone, are unlikely to produce long-term weight loss. Structured intensive lifestyle programs are necessary.
