About
We are officially launching the Leaner, Healthier Teen Revolution weight loss (not a diet, but a lifestyle) program to teens and tweens in Maryland and across the nation
Mission
Teen weight loss transformation! As one of the fastest growing teen nutrition education weight loss programs in the U.S, LHT is helping youth across the country transform their lives! The program is designed in six week increments and taught in a classroom like setting. It’s based on healthy food exchanges and teaches teens and tweens how to make healthier food choices both at school and at home. It also includes one-on-one and group support and encouragement from a trained nutrition advisor (we call them LHT coaches) who are experienced and skilled professionals in health, nutrition and fitness
Description
We need YOUR help to stop the adolescent obesity crisis facing our nation. I would appreciate if you could help me spread the word that our program is here to help! Send them to www.LHTRevolution.com and email me at [email protected] or [email protected]. Also please let me know if I can be of service to YOU and YOUR business in any way! One in three teens are currently overweight and this generation is said to be the "first generation to not outlive their parents!" Please help US help them!
We believe WORDS have power!
Actions may speak louder than words, but learning to control your own self talk is as important to learn as being active. Reaching ANY goal starts from the inside out. Teaching adolescents how to control emotional eating, be kind to themselves and view their bodies in a more positive way is just part of the plan. Each week the classes are designed around a TION word like Motivation, Inspiration and Education, focusing on only the positive aspects of health and nutrition. There is NO SHAME in our program and this allows our students to enjoy the process instead of dreading it.
