CMU-CMCH Weight Loss Study

Central Michigan University and Central Michigan Community Hospital's Wellness Central Fitness support a one-year weight loss program that incorporates sound nutrition with exercise.  Classes meet regularly on Tuesdays, starting in January of each year.  The program includes a three-phase meal plan based on a diabetic exchange list, exercise guidelines, cholesterol screenings, group meetings, weigh-ins, and fitness monitoring (using for instance, a pedometer).
