Tips on Choosing a Weight Loss Program

We are confident CorePower Yoga’s LiveLean program can help you lose weight for good!

Still not sure? Consider these tips when evaluating a weight loss support group:

• Look for a group that offers nonjudgmental support. Find a group where your progress is monitored and acknowledged but not necessarily shared.
• Seek a setting where the emphasis is on total health and how your progress makes you feel, rather than on the numbers. Most of us have enough stressful goals to achieve at work and home; a weight loss goal should be something that makes you feel positive, not stressed. A gathering where you are able – but not required – to speak up and share will create a supportive, positive and stress-free experience.  

• Both sexes need – and succeed with – support. Weight isn’t just a woman’s issue; both sexes struggle with obesity and the health ramifications of excess weight. Cardiovascular disease, which includes weight-related problems like heart disease, hypertension and stroke, is the number one killer of women, according to the American Heart Association.  Losing weight is not only the first big step toward your ultimate body and spirit, but it can also reduce your risk for many diseases and increase your self-esteem.
• Quick-fix diet programs are difficult to sustain in the long run. Seek a weight loss program that emphasizes healthful variety and portion control, rather than a restrictive diet that may make you feel deprived. This allows you to integrate your weight loss program into your life.
• The program should be dynamic, diverse, challenging and fun.
• It is helpful if group leaders have struggled with weight themselves and successfully lost weight as a result of a similar group-based program.
