 The LEARN Program is very different from fad, quick-fix diets.    
     
The LEARN Program is a step-by-step skill building approach that teaches participants new skills that are necessary to maintain a healthy weight in today's environment.     
     
The program is taught by two Registered Dietitians, each with over 25 years of experience.    
     
LEARN participants learn the when, how and why their food-related habits occur and, more importantly, how to incorporate healthier habits into their daily life-style.    
     
The dietitians evaluate all your medical conditions in relationship to weight management and incorporate the information into your diet plan
