The Green Mountain at Fox Run Approach
 Unlike
other residential weight loss centers, Green Mountain at
Fox Run offers a proven program, not just a jumble of
classes. Intentionally designed like a university curriculum,
our four-week program mimics the academic years of freshman,
sophomore, junior and senior. Each week, workshops build on
the previous weeks' information and discussions. Our highly-qualified
staff has in-depth experience in weight management and the
many issues involved in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Our program is designed to:
- Help you create a take-home program that
can fit into your life back home.
- Offer ongoing support after departure
via our private discussion board and email access to our
staff.
- Private one-on-one sessions are available
at additional cost (most women find the core curriculum
meets their needs).
Nutrition
The Normal Eating Restructuring Program™
 Green Mountain at
Fox Run's nutrition program moves women away from ‘cookie
cutter' or ‘quick fix' approaches. With practical and
proven strategies to end eating struggles (food cravings,
emotional eating and binge eating), we help women develop
an intrinsic sense of how to feed themselves well and the
motivation to do so.
In our dining room, you'll learn:
- Healthy eating involves choice, freedom and flexibility.
It doesn't need to be boring, bland, or restrictive.
- Our menu is designed to cater to many needs,
including blood sugar management, heart health, food allergies,
and varying levels of physical activity.
- You can have your dessert and eat it too,
every night if you choose!
Behavior
Developing a Healthy Relationship with Food
 We
employ cognitive behavioral techniques and teachings of mindfulness
to change patterns of negative thinking. This includes the
common "all-or-nothing" attitude and perfectionism
with which many women approach their eating. We take on the
powerful ways in which a negative body image compromises our
ability to live our lives fully, with joy.
Our workshops encourage women to actively participate at
a level she feels most comfortable. They are not intended
to be group therapy, but it is often very therapeutic to discover
that we are not alone in our ways of thinking and acting,
and that we can do it differently.
Questions that come up in discussion
include:
- How do we think, feel and act in relation to food?
Why do we overeat? Why can't we consistently make choices
that will support our goals?
- How can we nourish our bodies in ways other than
with food? Why do we emotionally overeat or binge
eat and what do we need to do to stop these destructive
behaviors?
- What role does stress play in our lives?
Can we set limits and boundaries when they need to be set?
Can we say “no” or “yes” in other
parts of our lives?
- Can we relax our bodies - even when
our lives are hectic - in order to rest and recuperate?
Fitness
Becoming an Intrinsic Exerciser
 We
provide a safe and supportive environment in which to feel
good about moving your body again. We introduce exercise as
something that can be playful and fun, while at the same time
promoting weight loss and improved health.
Our fitness program is easily adapted to meet the needs of
each participant. Some women come to us having already successfully
incorporated physical activity into their lives. Others may
have medical complications or feel "stuck" in a
fitness rut. Our goal is to provide a challenging fitness
experience that meets and builds on your current level of
fitness.
You can expect:
- Exercise modification and prescription
for women with orthopedic complications or other medical
conditions.
- Learn from credentialed fitness experts in
exercise science, aerobics, strength training and
flexibility.
- Choose from a variety of fitness activities every
day: from cardiovascular exercise, resistance training
(weight training) to flexibility (stretching) classes.
- Leave with a planned fitness program
geared to your abilities and goals that will fit into your
busy life at home.
