2-Phase Weight Loss Program
Scale Down is divided into two phases, a 14-week weight reduction phase and ongoing weight management phase.
Phase 1: Weight Reduction
Following a one-on-one pre-enrollment evaluation and body assessment, each participant begins Phase I with one-hour weekly group educational sessions, a prescribed meal plan and access to a nutritionally complete meal replacement product that helps jumpstart weight reduction. Participants consume 3 meal replacement shakes, one nutritional snack bar and one self-prepared meal per day.
Throughout the program, the participants are monitored through weekly weigh-in and periodic blood pressure checks. The 1 hour educational sessions focus on developing a healthy relationship to food and making positive lifestyle changes. Education topics covered include:
- Nutrition and Meal Planning
- Exercise
- Changing Habits
- Appropriate Eating Skills
- Triggers of Inappropriate Eating
- Relating to Food Assertiveness
- Self Management
Toward the conclusion of Phase I, participants transition from dietary supplements to low-fat solid foods while they continue to lose weight.
Upon completing the program, the initial body assessment is repeated and these baseline numbers are compared to the participant's newest evaluation. A letter is sent to the primary care physician detailing the patient's progress.
Phase 2: Weight Maintenance
Participants who have completed Phase I are encouraged to attend Phase II, a professionally facilitated weight maintenance support group. Participants weigh-in weekly and attend group sessions designed to reinforce the behavior changes that are necessary for maintaining weight loss or achieving further reductions.
