Jump Start Your Weight Loss with Allegheny Medical

Most people wait until after the holidays to think about eating healthy and dropping those extra pounds.  This time of year, it's easy to slip into unhealthy habits and believe it's better to worry about diet, exercise and weight management come January.

However, it's smart to get a handle on your eating habits now, rather than wait until you're really feeling (and seeing!) the effects of one too many indulgences after the New Year.

Sometimes it's more than a lack of willpower that keeps you from losing that weight.  Perhaps some of these reasons sound familiar:

I just can't lose weight because...

• I don't know what to eat.
• My feet hurt.
• My back hurts.
• My knees hurt.
• I can't afford it.
• I don't know how to start.
• There are so many diets, how do I know which is right for me?

Good news: Allegheny Medical offers medically supervised exercise programs which educate individuals about leading active, healthy lifestyles and reducing risk factors for disease and injury. Each person who enters the program is tested, screened and counseled before starting the customized exercise program.

Our weight management program is called Lighten Up®, and it integrates fitness, lifestyle and behavior management with medical practices.  Lighten Up® helps individuals learn healthier eating habits and achieve and maintain weight loss.

For those people interested in a weekly regimen, Allegheny Medical offers a program that includes 1 Office Visit with the Doctor, 1 Office Visit with Registered Dietitian, and 3 Supervised Work-Out Sessions--priced at a very affordable $29.00 per week.

Due to the overwhelming response, we are expanding our program enrollment by 20 spots--however, space is still limited.
