What is a Lifestyle Modification Program

If you’re trying to lose weight and gain more energy then a Lifestyle Modification Program is a great way to make it happen.

Designed to help people aged 40-49 turn their health around, Lifestyle Modification Programs teach people what they need to know about losing weight for the long term in a safe way.

The program is not about losing as much weight as you can in the shortest amount of time, but rather how to reach a healthy weight and live a healthy lifestyle for the rest of your life.

Topics discussed at Lifestyle Modification Programs include food and nutrition, exercising, how to deal with stress and goal setting.

People who have successfully completed the Lifestyle Modification Program have not only lost kilos and centimetres from around their waist but have more importantly reduced their chance of developing a chronic disease and have moved towards living a healthier and more active life.

Different parts of Australia have different Lifestyle Modification Programs which are tailored to suit the needs of the local residents. If you are interested in joining a Lifestyle Modification Program there are a few simple things you need to do first:

• Be aged between 40 and 49
• Take the AUSDRISK test at home or with your GP
• If you score 12 or more on the test, visit your GP to rule out diabetes
• Once diabetes is ruled out, your GP can enrol you in your local Lifestyle Modification Program
