Future Dates:

Fad diets, "quick slim" drinks, reduction pills, pre-packaged meals - none of these ever seem to help when it comes to long-term weight management. However, Lexington Medical Center's Health Directions has a program that is proven safe and effective in taking off those unwanted pounds and keeping them off.

The Live Light Weight Loss Program is a course which focuses on improving eating habits and developing a healthy lifestyle. Through pre- and post-assessments, meal planning, exercise classes and educational instruction, participants learn to be successful in their weight-loss efforts. The program is lead by a registered dietitian who will teach you better ways to grocery shop, eat out and prepare healthy, tasty meals.

Our proven program of weight management will help you develop a healthier lifestyle, change your self image and achieve weight-loss results that no "fad diet" could ever accomplish. The reason? Live Light lasts forever!
