Body
Mastery

Research shows that usually about 50% of weight lost is regained in the first year with weight gain continuing thereafter, so that by 3-5 years post the initial weight loss about 80% of people have returned to or exceeded their pre-treatment weight.

How do we overcome the relapse problem?

• Firstly by understanding where things go wrong
• Unrealistic deadlines
• Abruptly stopping a nutrition or exercise program
• Returning to your previous caloric maintenance level without increasing activity
• Perpetual dissatisfaction with body weight and shape
• Poor coping and stress management skills

• We will teach you to listen to maintainers, not losers
• We will give you a plan for transitioning into maintenance
• We will assist you in an action plan for maintaining appropriate levels of physical activity
• We will assist you in red-lighting those sedentary activities
• We will guide you through a process which preferably includes weight training
• We will assist you in developing the habit of diligent self-monitoring
• Respond quickly to counteract weight gain
• We will guide you towards correct lifestyle eating habits
• Provide you with social support
• Guide you regarding the social support you need to set-up

And most importantly, help you develop the vision of what it means to have Body Mastery!
