Managing Weight Expectations Course

The Managing Weight Expectations course is a 4-week ONLINE group course. It provides participants with a better understanding of WHY the body may gain weight and for some people, why it can be so difficult to keep it off long-term. Most importantly, the course provides an overview of treatment options and a new way of looking at our weight, health and expectations.

Part 1: Factors Affecting Our Weight

  • Did you know that weight bias and stigma can impact our weight?
  • Is body mass index (BMI) out of date?​
  • Do we really understand the term “obesity”?​
  • Does weight loss = health?

Part 2: Hormones Affecting Weight & Appetite

  • What is body weight set point and can it be changed?
  • Does our brain really control our weight?
  • How does losing or gaining weight affect our hormones?
  • Why do I have food cravings?
  • How does stress impact our weight and appetite?

Part 3: Gut Bacteria: Is Your Weight ‘Bugging’ You?

  • What is gut bacteria (microbiota)? ​
  • How does it affect our health and weight​?
  • Can anything improve gut bacteria?

Part 4: Life-long Management

  • Can I still lose weight long-term?
  • What can I do that’s in my control?
  • What should I expect life-long
  • How can you shift your expectations to achieve your values
