Answer: It is a program that aims to teach you about changes that you can make in your lifestyle to assist in achieving your weight loss goals.

2) Are Lifestyle Modification Programs successful for sustainable weight loss?

Answer: Yes, as long as the changes are maintained. Like any diet, after losing the weight and achieving a weight you are happy with, if you revert back to old habits you will regain the weight that has been lost. A lifestyle modification program is designed to be a permanent change for weight loss and long term weight maintenance.

2) Can anybody undertake a Lifestyle Modification Program?

Answer: Yes but if you have a health condition such as type I or type II diabetes or are on any medications such as anti-coagulant or blood pressure medications, or if you're simply not sure you should speak to your doctor before making significant lifestyle changes. If you are otherwise well, than the changes that you would make during a lifestyle modification program will be positive for your overall health and well being.
