Who is WL4L for? WL4L is ideal for those with previous experience in a structured weight loss program, such as My New Weigh, State of Slim, Weight Watchers, etc., who would like to sustain or continue their efforts. The program will also be beneficial for those already working with a Clinic provider and who would like additional weight management behavior change support.
Is WL4L a diet? WL4L is not a diet, but is compatible with various diets you may already be following or have followed in the past. Using general principles around weight loss, mindset, health and nutrition science, this program is designed to support your journey, regardless of how you got started.
