Do you feel like you’re always on a diet?  Weight loss can feel like an uphill battle for many as we continuously ride the rollercoaster of weight loss and gain.  Join us on Tuesday, January 31 from noon to 1 p.m. for this program designed to help you begin learning the important components of achieving weight loss in a healthy way that will lead to long-term results. Human Resources has teamed up with an expert from Independence Blue Cross to help you gain realistic expectations of achievable weight loss, be taught the benefits of a food diary, and learn simple behavior modification techniques to reach and maintain your weight loss goals. Topics will include why diets don’t work, the effects of crash diets on body composition, the benefits of exercise, and our portion distortion. 

Please feel free to bring a ‘brown bag’ lunch. Pre-registration is needed. For details, go to the online Course Catalog at www.hr.upenn.edu (click on Course Catalog at top of page).
