Today’s consumers are being bombarded with information about health as never before—from TV, magazines, newspapers, and the Internet.

Health and well-being fills thousands of column inches in magazines and newspapers, but rather than having the intended educational effect, instead many consumers discover that they find information they read about food and health confusing and contradictory.

Why is it good for you?

There is no “magic bullet” for safe and healthful weight management. Successful weight management is a lifelong process. It means adopting a lifestyle that includes a healthful eating plan‚ coupled with regular physical activity. People are not all alike and one size does not fit all when it comes to planning and achieving a healthy diet. What may be the best approach for one person may not be the answer for another‚ so all of the information provided can be customized by you‚ to suit your lifestyle needs and demands.

What are Weight1Minute’s Healthy Lifestyle 101 program features?

You’re in the driver’s seat—there are multiple types of “measuring criteria” you can select. If “calorie counting” is what you want‚ you can adjust your settings accordingly. And so forth.

3. All of the information provided is overseen by qualified and knowledgeable Registered Dietitians. Dietitians can be Nutritionists‚ but Nutritionists cannot be Dietitians. Dietitians are experts in food and nutrition advice. They have extensive medical and educational credentials. If you have any questions‚ our Resident Dietitians are always ready to assist. They are an email away.

4. You are in control. Nobody tells you what‚ how‚ or when to do anything. It’s totally up to you.

It’s delivered via your personal and private email‚ where you’ll be able to read‚ learn‚ and most importantly‚ proceed at your own pace.
