How does the program work?
Wondr Health is a 10-week, online program that uses weekly video lessons and interactive tools to teach the behavioral skills necessary to lose weight and keep it off long-term. Each week, you will watch lessons at your convenience on your computer, smartphone or tablet through the iPhone or Android apps. The program will help you create changes in your behavior by:
- Helping you develop a lifestyle of eating your favorite foods while still improving your health and losing weight.
- Teaching you to identify personal eating habits, recognize the difference between true hunger and psychological hunger, understand how hydration habits influence hunger and practice ways to minimize fat storage.
- Addressing how exercise, stress and your environment affect weight loss.
You will also receive a full year of support after the first 10 weeks through WondrUp (4You) and WondrUp (4Life). WondrUp (4You) is available for 10 weeks after the initial program and provides personalized content. WondrUp (4Life) is available for the following 32 weeks and provides customizable content, which allows you to choose your own path.
