The amount of information that is available today on dieting, weight loss, weight management, and wellness is overwhelming.

• Which diet will work best for you?
  
• Should you consider weight loss surgery?
  
• How can you achieve permanent weight management?
  
• Is there something that you are missing?

After years of researching the complex issues associated with chronic weight gain and obesity, and all of the available weight loss programs, we discovered four key facts:

1. Obesity is a complex disease.
2. For most people, a combination of approaches and treatments are required to achieve permanent and healthy weight loss and weight management.
3. A successful long-term weight loss and weight management solution must be customized to meet your specific needs, and must address the whole-person, which includes all aspects of your emotional, mental and physiological being.
4. Healthy weight loss, weight management and wellness is a life-long commitment with many different phases that will change and evolve over time.

And that is why most weight loss programs do not work long-term for millions of people.  Most weight loss programs do not address the changing needs of the whole person throughout the many phases of one's life. There are million of a-typical dieters, who are struggling with issues that are far more complex than just how many calories are eaten and burned off with exercise. Although diet and exercise are an important factor in any weight loss program, it is not necessarily the whole story.

bellaSavio - A Whole Person Approach to Weight Loss and Weight Management

So, together with medical specialists in weight management and the treatment of obesity, we created the bellaSavio Approach for weight loss, weight management and wellness.

• bellaSavio is a proven and pragmatic approach to healthy weight loss, weight management, and life-time wellness.
  
• The bellaSavio Approach is a holistic process that is built on sound Acceptance, Wisdom and Growth principles that treat you - the emotional, mental, and physiological you - individually, for life.

Get the Information You Need to Achieve Your Personal Goals

Research indicates that most people have made some attempt to manage their weight. Statistics show that over 95% of people cannot lose weight and keep it off using traditional weight loss programs.

What works for others may not work for you, and what works for you today - may  not work forever. While every person is different, many people do struggle with similar kinds of weight management and wellness issues. We call these issues "personal factors". Some personal factors are easily identifiable and some take a bit of work.

A Whole-Person Approach That Helps You Identify Your Personal Factors

The bellaSavioApproach^TM provides you with the information, current research, and tools to help you determine your personal factors so that you can be successful with your weight loss and weight management goals.  You can use the information that is provided on the web site and if you want or need more assistance, you can take the Personal Factor Inventory^TM.  You  can also communicate with others in the bellaSavio community via our blogs at http://community.bellasavio.com.

Once you have identified the personal factors that are negatively impacting your weight loss and weight management efforts, you can then use this information to select the best eating and weight management plan for you. If you want to go on a diet or use a traditional weight loss program, you will know how to be successful on the plan you choose. Or, you may decide to consult a physician for medically managed weight loss. Perhaps your decision will be to create an eating plan on your own. Or, you may want to work with a specialist to develop a personal plan that works for you.

Regardless of your choice, you will find access to the information and support you need on bellaSavio. You will learn what will work best for you personally –your body, emotions, preferences and goals-  and then continue to learn what will work as these things change.  Because achieving a healthy weight and maintaining wellness is a lifelong, personal effort. And the journey is full of changes and surprises.
