DURHAM, N.C. – Structure House, an internationally recognized residential weight loss center, has been ranked number one among America’s Top 10 Healthiest Diets by Health magazine. The Structure House program was credited with its holistic approach to weight loss, an outstanding exercise component and tasty, low-fat recipes.
Editors with Health magazine began their search for diets that really work, creating a panel of experts who reviewed more than 60 diet programs. The Structure House program was named as America’s number one healthiest diet, whether embarked upon at the residential campus in Durham, N.C. or at home.
According to the article, Structure House won high scores on every aspect of healthy weight loss and several panelists raved about the plan’s motivational components. “It focuses on the ‘why’ behind overeating, and helps dieters learn to put their lives in balance,” said registered dietitian Maureen Callahan.
An estimated 80 million Americans go on diets every year, however, just 25 percent actually achieve their weight loss goals and keep the weight off. Experts at Structure House say that approaching weight loss from a fad diet “mindset” is the underlying reason for failure.
Structure House has helped thousands of people reach their weight loss goals and transform their lives through its unique 28-day program that combines principles of nutrition, psychology and exercise. Unlike fad diets, Structure House provides the tools for immediate weight loss and the ability to maintain long-term success by teaching the skills necessary to make lifestyle changes.
“It is quite an honor to be recognized by Health magazine and its team of experts as America’s Healthiest Diet,” said Dr. Gerard J. Musante, clinical psychologist and founder of Structure House.
“We pride ourselves in having a program that works for everyone and does not produce negative side effects like some quick fix diets. I am privileged to work with a wonderful team of treatment professionals, and together, we have improved the health and lives of many, many people.”
Musante’s book, The Structure House Weight Loss Plan, provides an alternative for those who cannot afford the time or cost of the residential treatment center in Durham, N.C. It outlines a proactive plan that can be used in any environment (home, workplace and restaurants) and provides corrective actions for each emotion, enabling readers to regain a sense of balance and develop a positive relationship with food, resulting in an all-encompassing lifestyle change for weight loss and healthy living.
