Losing and maintaining weight may be the biggest challenge that many people face in their lives. According to the most recent national health studies, 64% of Americans are now overweight and 30% are considered obese. Successful weight management is built on a foundation of making permanent positive changes in eating and physical activity habits, including strategies that are borne out of research.
Unfortunately, knowledge does not equal behavior. For many, losing weight is the easy part- keeping the weight off is the ultimate frustration. A dietetics professional, trained to have a comprehensive knowledge of the weight loss field and management options, can enable long-term patient compliance and sustained success. The evidence-based, comprehensive weight management program at Navigate Nutrition includes a combination of diet therapy, physical activity, and behavior therapy. This combination therapy is more successful than using any one intervention alone.
One of the biggest predictors of weight loss success is frequent and regular meetings with a health professional. Therefore, it is recommended that weight management clients have an initial assessment and at least one follow-up visit. Multiple session packages are available.
