Certified Diabetic Services offers a Weight Loss Program with proven results. We create the energy and focus to gain – and maintain – your commitment to permanent lifestyle change. The secret to our success lies in the dynamic delivery of our skillful instructors, the practical solutions offered in the Change One Program by Readers Digest, and the ongoing availability of the useful, online tools provided through our program. The results speak for themselves -- our attendees experience an average weight loss of 25 pounds over our 12-week program.

Why should obesity be a concern? It’s because it is an established risk factor for major chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, as well as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, coronary heart disease and stroke. Other related diseases include cancer, kidney failure, arthritis, asthma, gout, polycystic ovarian syndrome and sleep apnea.

Recent research indicates that by combining a low fat diet, regular exercise and a 7 percent weight loss, pre-diabetics can reduce their risk of diabetes by 58 percent. It’s clear that the lifetime health and economic consequences of obesity are substantial – your efforts to prevent or reduce this problem will have a significant impact on your health (and your medical bills).

The CDS Weight Loss Program

Trained CDS professionals, including registered dietitians and registered nurses, provide our students with comprehensive materials that include a text book, outlines and handouts. In addition, students receive a pedometer, exercise bands and a comprehensive exercise program.

We teach people how to eat right – without fad diets or special prepackaged foods. Students complete food diaries that allow them to work with their instructor to measure their understanding of the material and ability to put it into practice. We measure weight, body mass index and body fat percentages at the beginning and end of the class.

We realize that permanent lifestyle change is one of the missing components in most weight loss programs. Recognizing that, our classes help students identify and break unhealthy patterns. Our professionals work with students on emotional eating habits and psychological issues to help them reach their goals.

Following the completion of the class, students can contact their instructors or retake the class for a period of one year at no additional charge. You can also access our online tools 24 hours a day to maintain the healthy lifestyle changes you have made and keep the weight off.
