A Pilot Study Evaluating a Clinically Managed Weight Loss Program

There are three components of the intervention, this includes: psychology, nutrition, and physical activity. For the psychological portion, a therapist will assess the participant at baseline to determine if there are barriers associated with making lifestyle changes. For nutrition, the dietitian will assess the participant and create a meal plan based on their nutritional needs and guide the participant to reaching their nutritional goals. The psychological and nutrition portion may be interchangeable depending on the participants needs. For physical activity, the personal trainer will assess the participant and create an exercise plan that consists of resistance training and weight bearing exercises suitable for the participant while also guiding the participant to reach their exercise goals.
