Logan Utah Regional Hospital Offers Weight Loss Classes

If you, like many of Logan residents, would like to improve your overall health, the Logan Regional Hospital has a new plan for you. In an effort to help Logan, Utah the local hospital is offering a chance to join a supportive team in reaching for better health.

"Weigh to Health Nutrition Program"

The "Weigh to Health Nutrition Program" was set in place this year to ensure a new approach to helping locals in Logan achieve their fitness and weight goals. Unlike other dieting programs, this plan is cheaper and available to all adults. The registration is $175, which is expected to be paid at registration.

Two Plans

There are two options you can choose from to help you with your health goals. One plan is called the "Individual Counseling Option." With this option you will receive 5 counseling sessions on a one-to-one basis with a registered dietitian. Because we are all individuals with individual obstacles, the dietitian is designed to help review your history and come up with an individualize plan. You will receive advice on realistic goal setting and how to track your progress, making adjustments as you go along. The Individual Counseling option also includes 12 group follow up sessions that offer you the support of your community in your journey to a better you. For those that need more one on one attention during the initial stages of weight loss, will find that this option is perfect for their needs.

The other plan is the "Group Class" option. This is comprised of 12 weeks of 90 minute instruction sessions lead by a registered dietitian. With the support of a group setting you will learn the skills that you need to be well on your way to better health. Classes include 'guest speakers' from the related fields of healthy cooking and exercising. The 12 weeks of instruction are followed by 12 weeks of follow up sessions for group support. This option is great for those that want an overview on how to change their behaviors, but don't need the personal attention of the individual counseling option. You are still free to ask the instructors questions that you have about personal obstacles. This plan is also great if you need time to get into a new routine and lifestyle.

The SelectHealth insurance plan will reimburse you $160 of the $175 you paid on registration if you are enrolled with them and fully participate. These classes fill up fast and scheduling information is available through the Nutrition center at Logan Regional Hospital to see if the day or night classes will fit better into your calendar.
