KU Weight Management Programs can help you build skills and knowledge to lose weight and keep it off.

The Phase I program consists of group meetings, education, a structured diet and exercise as well as utilizing tools such as record keeping. Upon completion of our Phase I program, participants typically lose between 10 - 15% of their initial body weight. We also offer an ongoing Phase II program for people who have completed a diet program, but wishes to gain or continue education and wants accountability as well as group support. Participants in Phase II are welcome to purchase meal replacements, but are not required to.

Tips to eat more vegetables and fruits each day:

1. Keep fruit where you can see it. Place several ready-to-eat washed whole fruits in a bowl or store chopped colorful fruits in a glass bowl in the refrigerator to tempt a sweet tooth.
2. Explore the produce aisle and choose something new. Variety and color are key to a healthy diet. On most days, try to get at least one serving from each of the following categories: dark green leafy vegetables; yellow or orange fruits and vegetables; red fruits and vegetables; legumes (beans) and peas; and citrus fruits
3. Make it a meal. Try cooking new recipes that include more vegetables. Salads, soups, and stir-fries are just a few ideas for increasing the number of tasty vegetables in your meals.

Key Connections Between Mental Health and Weight Loss:
1. Mindset First: True transformation begins with mental well-being; treating your body with kindness leads to healthier, sustainable, and more sustainable results than restriction.
2. Be Kind to Your Mind: During weight loss, focus on self-compassion, as mental health is the most important tool for reaching physical goals.
3. Balanced Approach: Losing weight can boost mental health, but it must be done carefully to avoid unhealthy coping habits.
4. Focus on Strength: View your journey as a way to build strength, not just to change your size.
