MoreLife provide weight management programmes for adults, designed to create long-lasting shifts in behaviour and give clients the tools and support they need to achieve their health goals.
OUR 12 WEEK PROGRAMME
The MoreLife 12-week, group programme offers a psychologically-informed model. Each session lasts for one and a half hours with a 30-minute drop in before or after.
Each week you’ll focus on a different topic. These range from learning about nutrition and portion sizes, to understanding the importance of sleep.
Our practitioners don’t tell people what to do, instead, you will be guided and supported to understand how thoughts, emotions and feelings influence decisions. We’ll help you to develop strategies to make healthier choices, cope with setbacks and manage specific triggers like stress.
Here’s a few examples of the sessions included on the Adult Weight Management 12 week programme:
Making informed choices and regulating impulse control
Understanding/
comparing food labels e.g. portion size, calorie value
Able to identify ways of overcoming barriers/hurdles
Implementing healthier coping mechanisms
