As each new diet takes the nation by storm,
we at Green Mountain sit and wait. We soon see an increasing
number of women visit us who are struggling against weight
gain and feelings of helplessness caused by their latest weight
loss diet.
More than just another fad, high-protein, low-carbohydrate
diets currently approach phenomenon status. They first greeted
us back in 1974 with Dr. Atkins Diet Revolution. Yes, people
lost weight with the diet then, and do so now. But did they
keep it off? Where are the successes from 1974?
From our perspective, Thelma Wayler, MS, RD,
our founder, said it succinctly 31 years ago: “Diets
make people fat; eating can make you thin.” (Today,
thin isn't necessarily a politically-correct word but
it still makes a good sound bite; what Thelma meant was that
eating well can lead you to a healthy weight that's
right for you.)
At Green Mountain, we strive to help the women
who come to us move toward higher goals than just weight loss.
We focus on helping women feel good again. Because when we're
feeling good, we're engaged in the productive behaviors
that will take care of our weight and our health.
For most of us, dieting doesn't make
us thinner, happier or fitter. Because at some point, we go
off the diet, and when we do, we return to the old behaviors
that created the problems in the first place. Back to Basics™,
Green Mountain's balanced women's program for
learning to care for yourself, focuses on helping you normalize
your eating, find pleasure in moving your body, and support
yourself by thinking positively while losing weight. Proven
in the peer-reviewed literature, time-tested and refined through
our 31 years of experience working with weight-struggling
women, our program offers you a hands-on, commonsense approach
designed especially for women. You will be
guided by an unmatched motivational team of professionals
who have spent their careers working with women on weight
and health issues.
Experience is a great teacher. Let us share
our experience in helping women feel good again. Join us for
one, two, three or more weeks for the time of your life that
will change your life.
