For those participants with limited ability to get away, Duke Diet & Fitness’s five-day intensive evaluation and planning program is another option.

This program provides an efficient way for participants to begin addressing the risks of excess weight and insufficient physical activity through a thorough evaluation with treatment recommendations from each professional component: Nutrition, Fitness, Behavioral Health & Lifestyle Coaching, and Medical.

You will be provided direction as to the weight control/lifestyle change strategies most appropriate to your needs and experience instruction in healthy lifestyle through a sampling of core classes.

While you will probably not lose significant weight during your five-day visit to the Duke Diet & Fitness Center (DFC), you will experience the nutritional program and fitness activities we have designed for long-term results, and will benefit from expert direction from each of the DFC components in developing a practical plan.

Participants are eligible for the lifestyle coaching programs and DukeDiet.com following their five-day program (learn more about free access to DukeDiet.com). They are also eligible for the return program after completing a second “new client” week within one year from their discharge date.
