Complementary Approaches to Weight Loss Study
Enrolled participants will have an opportunity to enhance their knowledge of successful weight loss strategies during the instructional classes offered throughout the study. The classes will include both diet and physical activity components. Participants will be required to attend 90-minute classes every week during the first 4 months, and every other week during the second 4 months.
A large and growing body of literature has suggested that weight loss may be protective against diabetes, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this new Weight Loss Study is to investigate the efficacy of two complementary approaches to weight loss.
