New weight-loss program available on Anschutz Medical Campus

A meal replacement weight-loss program, monitored by Anschutz Medical Campus endocrinologists and registered dietitians, is now available on the campus.

The program includes support through weekly group meetings and input from Anschutz Medical Campus experts, along with low-calorie meal replacements purchased by participants.

To join, participants must be generally healthy but have a BMI (body mass index) greater than 30 or be about 30 pounds overweight. (To determine your BMI, visit www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/.) Participants also must be able to pay for meal replacements and weekly classes.
