Why ILWM?

The Institute of Lifestyle & Weight Management is just the place to help you lose weight, get healthy, get fit, and reclaim the lost "you." Studies show that the only effective way to lose weight and keep it off permanently is to change your lifestyle and to eliminate detrimental behaviors. Even though you may have failed in the past or managed to lose weight only to gain it back, ILWM is the answer for several reasons:

• Successful lifestyle changes take time and the type of support ILWM provides.
• Studies show that physician-supervised programs provide the best results, and that people are more likely to stay in a weight loss program if a physician is involved—at ILWM, you will be under the care of a coordinated healthcare team composed of physicians, dieticians, and exercise physiologists.
• ILWM is dedicated solely to helping you to lose weight and maintain the weight loss over the long term—this laser-like focus guarantees that you will receive the best care and support available anywhere.
• ILWM is the only solution that addresses all of the contributors to obesity: genetic, physiological, behavioral, psychological, and emotional. Others may address one or more aspects, but ILWM is the most comprehensive and hands-on program available in the Triangle.
• ILWM’s innovative model features different programs to meet the variegated needs of the private and corporate marketplaces.
• ILWM differentiates itself by offering an integrated and individually-customized model that is nimble and can quickly incorporate learnings into the model.

Although ILWM is the best weight-loss solution, it is not an easy one. Eating right and exercising requires a strong commitment to change. ILWM will provide you with the tools, knowledge, and support necessary to be successful, but ultimately you do the work. As you do the hard work, your ILWM team will be with you every step of the way.
