Behavior Modification

Behavior Change = Weight Change

You already understand that if you change your diet and increase your activity, you will lose weight. However, if you've tried conventional diets before, you also understand that when the diet is over, the weight returns. You may have even regained more weight than you lost on the diet, leaving you in an even worse situation. The only true answer to permanent weight loss is to change the way you think, feel and react to food. You need to change your behavior so that when the diet ends, those behaviors have become a permanent part of your lifestyle, enabling you to make healthy choices for life.

Lifestyle change Leads to Long-term Success

Your weight is a result of your lifestyle. How you live influences all of the decisions that you make regarding the types and amounts of food you eat. Many of us use food to improve our moods, to deal with stress, or as an excuse. These ways of coping develop into deeply rooted habits that require you to develop strong and effective strategies to combat them.

When you participate in one of our programs with the Evans Weight Loss Group, you will meet weekly with a trained behavioral therapist, individually or in a group setting, to discuss weight, food, and health-related issues. When you better understand how food and overeating impacts your life, you better understand how to adjust your behavior to eat sensibly and for the right reasons. 

Change Doesn't Have to be Difficult

Many of us have tried to change our behaviors in the past without much success. But before you can successfully make a specific behavioral change, you need to learn the skills to make changing easier and more effective. With the skills that you will learn in our program, you will be ready to tackle any behaviors that affect your weight or other parts of your life. When you change your behavior, slipping back into old habits that resulted in past weight gains is no longer a possibility. Once you make these types of permanent changes, you can finally break free from the typical cycle of yo-yo dieting.
