Weight Loss
Why Most Weight Loss Programs Don't Work
Many American women are obsessed with weight loss. Women from all walks of life are looking for a quick fix to their weight problems, when in reality, there is no such thing.
Weight loss programs that include semi-starvation diets, pills or embarrassing weigh-ins can be counter-productive to a woman's weight loss goals. Some women may become discouraged and give up trying to lose weight while others may become so obsessed with their weight that they actually develop an eating disorder.
Weight Loss - It's More Than About Food
Weight loss programs that do not address the underlying causes of food addiction have not been very effective. What does work is multi-disciplinary treatment that encompasses nutritional meal plans and psychological counseling in a structured, supportive environment.
The Women's Center for Healthy Living develops custom treatment programs for women with food addictions, binge eating and compulsive overeating disorders. Our licensed staff has created a treatment model that aims to replace unhealthy, self-destructive eating patterns with healthy meal plans and a healthy self-esteem.
Freedom from food addiction will only come once a person's quality of thinking as it relates to food, weight and self-worth changes. That's why our treatment focuses not just on weight loss, but on the "whole" person, body, mind and spirit. Patients entering our unique program can expect a full spectrum of quality of care including:
- Nutritional counseling
- Individual and group therapy sessions where the patient can share their feelings and overcome their thoughts of shame, humiliation and self-hatred.
- Family therapy
- Holistic therapies including art therapy, yoga and meditation
If you are tired of the same old weight loss programs and methods, call the Women's Center for Healthy Living today at 1-800-391-4309. Let us help you reclaim a healthy relationship with food. All calls are toll-free and confidential and our caring staff is standing by day and night.
