Throughout the eight-week programme, you will be guided by a friendly and dedicated Nutritionist to answer any questions and provide helpful information.

It is important to us that families across Leicestershire and Rutland can eat well, participate in regular activity and maintain a healthy weight.

We understand that this isn't always easy, so our aim is to encourage young people to develop positive lifestyle behaviours, like cooking healthy food or engaging in exercise, that will continue into adulthood.

At Weight Management Leicestershire, our Nutritionists can provide support to families through our *eight-week lifestyle programme.
