PRISM is a Christian-based weight loss program founded in 1990. In addition to helping you to lose weight, the PRISM program helps you get to the root of why you were overeating and grow in spiritual, emotional and physical health. Consult your physician prior to starting the PRISM weight loss program or any other weight reduction plan.
About PRISM
You have the option of attending weekly PRISM meetings or completing the program at home. When you start the PRISM plan you'll be issued a Phase I workbook, which helps guide you through the first six weeks of the program. Every day you'll complete a short lesson in the workbook, and each week you'll watch a video lesson. Upon completion of the Phase I workbook you'll advance to the Phase II workbook. PRISM offers six phases of workbooks.
Weight Loss
PRISM will assist you in consuming a balanced, reduced-calorie diet, thereby resulting in weight loss. Instead of eating bland diet foods, you're encouraged to eat a variety of foods in moderation. Each day you'll write down the foods you ate and the amount of calories you consumed.
Group Support
PRISM meetings are held weekly, during which time dieters exchange information, support and encouragement. Time is also set aside for everyone to watch the weekly video lesson and participate in a group discussion about the lesson. According to "Handbook of Obesity Treatment," you are twice as likely to lose weight and keep it off if you have group support than if you are dieting alone.
Considerations
PRISM offers a Christian orientation that's unique among weight loss programs. This may be valuable for those of the Christian faith. The workbook lessons are intended to assist you in learning about and overcoming food addiction, which PRISM believes to be the reason that people become overweight. If you suffer from a medical condition or other issue that has caused your weight gain, you may not benefit much from the workbook lessons.
