Weight maintenance is an important and challenging part of weight management. In this session, we will discuss strategies that can be key to preventing weight regain including how to:

- Create an environment for success.

- Master healthy eating habits.

- Build strength & move your body

- Manage stress, cravings and emotional eating

- Practice self-compassion

- Improve sleep quality

We will also explore fibre -the new superfood- and the role of the gut microbiome, how to reduce your consumption of ultra processed food, and the role of medications in aiding in both weight loss and weight maintenance. 

This is the first session of the 4-week Getting Active 101 module. Registering for Session 1 will secure you a spot for the rest of the module. 

This course is designed to provide patients with the knowledge and resources they need to help increase their physical activity. Participants will review and discuss common barriers to physical activity, set weekly goals around movement, and learn more about the health benefits and guidelines for specific types of exercise. Community resources (I.e. parks, trails, activity classes, community centers) will be discussed, as well as self-management programs for conditions that impede mobility.
