The Group Lifestyle Balance^TM is a lifestyle change program which focuses on healthy eating and increasing physical activity. The goals for the program are for participants to achieve weight loss of 5-7% and for them to maintain 150 minutes of brisk physical activity each week. The GLB focuses on 3 components: nutrition, activity, and behavioral changes. As a result of making healthy lifestyle changes, many individuals do lose weight, as well as reduce their risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The evidence–based Group Lifestyle Balance^TM program, adapted from the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), is designed to help individuals make lifestyle changes to both prevent diabetes and prevent or treat the metabolic syndrome.
