Most diet programs offer quick fixes that don’t last, rather than long-range strategies that help people achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
Recognizing that nutrition is one of the cornerstones of a healthy life, Duke Health and Fitness Center has registered, licensed and experienced dietitians that provide both the expertise and personal support needed for both short-term and long-term success with weight loss and weight management. We believe in small steps and realistic goals.
Whether you enjoy the camaraderie and support of a group or prefer to seek solutions through an individual approach, we have options for your weight loss and maintenance needs. Our group approach includes the 8-week Getting on Track Weight Loss program and our on-going weight loss support group called Staying on Track. For a one-on-one approach, schedule an exercise and/or nutrition consultation with one of our experts.
