A free programme which encourages people to take control of their lifestyle by balancing a healthy diet with regular exercise is set to launch in Sevenoaks and Swanley next month.
The 'Why Weight' Plan is a 12 week programme which offers weekly weigh-ins, advice on food and diet and practical solutions to losing weight.
Each 'Why Weight' session also has an optional 30 minute motivational
exercise class for all fitness levels, and the continuing support and
motivation by 'Why Weight' dieticians throughout the 12 week programme
will help participants manage their weight effectively.
The 'Why Weight' Plan, which is already running successfully at
Edenbridge Leisure Centre, will begin in September with a 12 week
course at Sevenoaks Leisure Centre and White Oak Leisure Centre,
Swanley.
To sign up to this free programme just speak to your GP, practice nurse
or any health professional. Alternatively if you would prefer to
contact a 'Why Weight' dietician directly just call either 01322 622132
(Swanley), 01732 885776 (Sevenoaks) or 01342 414445 (Edenbridge).
Cllr Elaine Bracken, Sevenoaks District Council Cabinet Member with
responsibility for healthy living, says: “Controlling your weight is so
much easier if you consider the two aspects of a healthy diet and
regular exercise together. The great thing about the 'Why Weight' Plan
is that it is completely free and the programme's dieticians will be on
hand to give you the support you need to lead a fitter, healthier and
often happier life.”
The 'Why Weight' plan is organised by Sevenoaks District Council in
partnership with Sencio Community Leisure and funded by West Kent
Primary Care Trust.
The initiative is part of the ‘Sevenoaks District Healthy Lifestyles
Project’ and the national ‘Choosing Health’ Agenda, making healthier
choices easier.
