Funded by the National Institutes of Health, the program is the only one in the country to document success in children over a 10-year period. Participants are placed on a plan that includes a nutritionally balanced diet, regular exercise, behavior modification and a maintenance program. The concept is easy to learn and makes dieting fun for children. To be eligible for the program, children must weigh at least 20 percent more than the ideal weight for their age, and have one parent willing to attend weekly treatment meetings with his or her child. Although the program is free, a refundable deposit is required.
Enrollment is limited.
