History
PWLC was founded in 1979 and began franchising in 1980. It is currently wholly owned by Health Management Group. Over its 40 years of operation, the company has developed and perfected its effective approach to helping a variety of clients achieve their weight loss goals. An increasing number of Americans face weight problems, with as many as two in three falling into the overweight category. At the same time, medical professionals have identified several types of health risks that tend to rise with increased weight.
Although many people are aware of the health risks of excessive weight, it is also well-documented that losing pounds and inches can be difficult. Many dieters fail or relapse. PWLC weight-loss experts have identified common stumbling blocks that often derail weight loss. The company's approach is designed to address and overcome these issues, leading to success in achieving and maintaining goal weight.
The variety of the programs helps clients select the one that best meets their needs. Supervision by real physicians ensures safety and complete nutrition even when on a very low calorie or ketogenic diet. Experienced nutritionists provide clients with meal-planning skills that help them sustain a proper, balanced diet. PWLC also offers a range of products to make it easier to stick to the diet while meeting nutritional needs.
