What we cover in the Weighless Program (our Curriculum)

One of the questions we frequently get about the Weighless program is what exactly we cover in our 52-week curriculum. A year is a long time; we have time to get into virtually every possible aspect of weighing less–from the biochemistry to the logistics to the all-important head game.

Here is a more detailed breakdown of our curriculum.

Weeks 1-13: The Weighless Method

We spend the first three months of the program mastering the basic tenets of the Weighless approach:

Collecting data
Setting appropriate goals
Connecting to what motivates us
Eating and movement patterns
Planning tools and techniques
Lifestyle design
Habit formation

Weeks 14-26: Weighless Skills

As we move into the second quarter, we start to refine and customize our strategies, including:

Meal timing
Exercise strategies
Sleep patterns
Mindfulness techniques
Managing appetite
Dealing with cravings
Assessment
Problem solving
Prioritization

Weeks 27-52: Weighless Living

The third phase of the curriculum focuses on skills and strategies that help us stay on track long term. In addition to working more deeply on all of the above, we dig into:

Stress management
Cognitive distortions
Lapses and relapses
Recognizing ego defenses
Identifying and defusing triggers
Unsupportive environments
Social pressures
Managing disruptions (vacations, holidays, illnesses, injuries)
Learning to indulge without overindulging
Tapping into sustainable sources of motivation
Creating comfort and pleasure
How to learn from and recover from setbacks

As you can see, it is a robust, comprehensive and exhaustive curriculum. But the most important thing is not all that you know by the end of the year. It’s the opportunity to put these tools into practice, to get support when you fail, and to build a self-sustaining system.

If you’re ready to dig in, dig deep, and finally become someone who weighs less, we can’t wait to work with you.
