About eNutrition

Weight management is only one of the few important goals for this program. Healthier eating and activity are also important goals. Participant expectations relative to the rate, amount and overall importance of weight loss are addressed realistically from the outset. Participants are helped to make a personal commitment to behavior change. It is our goal to influence the lifestyle-related factors most closely ssociated with chronic disease risk.

This program is designed for Mass General Weight Center patients who have completed an initial comprehensive evaluation and have been referred by their Weight Center dietitian.

Patients must have computer and/or smartphone access and be willing and able to commit to an interactive online program which includes daily tracking of food intake, weekly review of online educational videos, goal setting and weekly online check-in with their Weight Center dietitian.
