Become A Referring Physician to Colorado Weigh Weight Management Program:

Colorado Weigh works with physicians throughout the Denver/Boulder area to provide their patients weight loss, lifestyle intervention and activity enhancing programs. Colorado Weigh is not a fad diet. Colorado Weigh was developed as a cognitive-behavioral program, with the belief that knowledge and skill to produce weight loss is different than knowledge and skill to keep the weight off. The program is heavily influenced by research conducted with the National Weight Control Registry (NWCR), a registry of over 3,000 individuals who have succeeded at long-term weight management. The Colorado Weigh curriculum was also influenced by the lifestyle intervention used in the Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle intervention treatment arm. NEJM 2002;346;393-402. The Colorado Weigh Weight Management Program is an integrated weight management and activity program that focuses on building real-life skills for making healthy choices.
