The Overweight Adolescent + Obesity Programs
At Growing Lean, we have designed advanced treatment plans for obese children. First and foremost, we are parents who understand the challenge of helping our children make good life choices. We are also pediatricians, mental health professionals, nutritionists, and trainers who understand the importance of treatment for child obesity and are dedicated to promoting a healthier lifestyle for American children and teens.
Through our experience and research, we believe that treatment for child obesity requires a holistic approach. Growing Lean therefore offers nutritional and behavioral counseling, a home-delivered food program, and exercise to develop overall physical, nutritional, and emotional fitness.
Our nutritional and behavioral counseling begins with the Growing Lean twelve-week treatment program for child obesity. Group motivational sessions, individual meetings with counselors, and bi-weekly exercise classes help children begin losing weight while educating parents and children on long-term eating and exercise patterns that can transform children’s lives. We will be offering the twelve-week program at the Central Lake YMCA in Vernon Hills, Illinois beginning on June 9, 2008.
We also offer additional services that can tailor a nutritional and behavioral education program to a particular family’s specific needs. These services include individual therapy sessions, home visits by a registered dietician, and online nutritional counseling.
The Growing Lean food program can benefit both families with overweight children and those with busy lives who need a convenient, healthy meal solution for their kids. We deliver fresh, tasty meals to your home twice per week to provide three meals and a snack per day for your child. For overweight children or teens, these meals control their caloric intake while satisfying their nutritional needs and helping develop healthier tastes. For the busy family, these meals provide a healthier alternative to fast foods or store-bought convenience items. Meals will be available beginning March 1, 2008.
We designed the Growing Lean exercise classes and personal training to create a welcoming, supportive environment for overweight children to begin developing healthier physical lifestyle patterns. Our classes help overweight children enhance their fitness while developing the physical skills, endurance and self-confidence to participate in other physical activities. The classes are both sports-based and skills-based to appeal to different tastes. Personal training sessions can be tailored even more closely to individual needs. Our classes are offered in several locations in the Chicago area. Personal training is also available in several health facilities in the Chicago area, as well as in your home.
