Weight Loss Center adds ‘Eat for Life’ program to wellness menu

INDIANAPOLIS – We all know the importance of eating right and exercising for good health. But sometimes we stumble on the roadblocks in our path to success, and people sometimes need a little support to help maintain a healthy lifestyle.

That’s what makes the St. Francis Health Eat for Life Wellness Program unique. The six-week, comprehensive weight management program teaches skills needed to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight.

The latest program gets under way 7 p.m. March 15 with each session held Tuesdays at the St. Francis Weight Loss Center, 5230-A E. Stop 11 Road, across from the St. Francis Health-Indianapolis campus.

Each session offers participants the opportunity to track their weight, sample a healthy food, and participate in discussions on a variety of topics. A team of registered dietitians will take participants through the steps of evaluating their diets, finding and preparing healthy recipes, discovering the benefits of reading the nutrition labels and shopping for healthy foods for the whole family.

There is a fee of $60 to register for the program.
To register, call (317) 528-7525, or visit StFrancisHospitals.org/weightloss for more information.
