The results from last fall’s Healthy Lifestyle testing are in…. There were 185 participants who screened. Forty (40) were found to have 3 or more risk factors, i.e. Metabolic Syndrome. Of those 40 individuals, two (2) left employment prior to the spring retesting. Six (6) people chose to participated in Weight Watchers. In the WW group 3 maintained the same number of risk factors, 1 reduced a risk factor and 2 are no longer considered to have Metabolic Syndrome! Thirty-two (32) participated in the Naturally Slim program. Forty-two percent (42%) in the Naturally Slim classes no longer are considered to have Metabolic Syndrome! That means 15 people no longer have Metabolic Syndrome, others reduced a risk factor and many made improvements in a risk factor. Here is a testimonial from a participant: “This is not 10 weeks of a diet, this the beginning of the rest of my healthy life.”
