Pyramid Weight Loss
at Concorde
successful weight loss and
lifestyle modification may be effectively addressed through the Pyramid
Concept. This approach addresses change through coordinated
efforts in the areas of Nutrition,
Exercise, and Behavior modification. There are no
gimmicks here -ast logical application of sound physiological principles
which can lead to a lifetime change.
Nutrition
The first component of any
weight loss program is nutritional change. To lose weight, the body needs
to take in fewer calories than it burns in caloric expenditure.
(Calorie
Expenditure >Intake = Weight Loss)
Gimmick diets are not the
answer for a lifetime change. Positive results depend on a good sound
nutritional plan that is enjoyable and easy to follow.
Behavior
Modification
Behavior modification
involves the ability to learn and apply principles of proper eating that
will last a lifetime. Our 10 week program involves weekly educational
classes and a support group which reinforces behavior change, offers
helpful tips, and provides a forum to share frustrations, success
strategies, and DELICIOUS, HEALTHY recipes.
Exercise
The U.S. Surgeon General
recently issued a report, which clearly identified the increasingly
sedentary lifestyle found among Americans as a significant health risk. At
Concorde Health & Wellness, overcoming your inactivity the right
way is very important to us. Our qualified fitness staff members
evaluate each participant, assist in establishing personal fitness and
performance goals, and implement a structured exercise program which
enhances weight loss activities, as well as musculoskeletal health.
