Lighter Steps: A Holistic Approach to Sustainable Weight & Lifestyle
4-Session Group Program | Co-Facilitated by a GP and Accredited Practising Dietitian
Lighter Steps
is a four-session, evidence-based program designed to support sustainable weight and lifestyle changes through a compassionate, whole-person approach. Rather than focusing on short-term transformations, we help you build lasting habits around food, movement, and wellbeing regardless of your body size. The Lighter Steps program will provide you with the skills essential to weight loss and maintenance, whether you are on medication or not.
Each weekly session is co-facilitated by a General Practitioner and an Accredited Practising Dietitian. Together, they will explore the science and psychology behind weight, using practical strategies to support real-life changes. You’ll walk away with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to take care of your health in a way that feels sustainable and empowering.
What you will learn:
Session one:Introduction to weight management+ nutrition crash course
Session two: Food quality and quantity + how to turn behaviours into habits
Session three: Role of exercise in weight management, mindful eating + obesity treatments overview
Session four: Weight loss maintenance, + psychology + tackling the obesogenic environment
Plus:
Why is weight loss hard to maintain?
What is weight stigma—and how does it impact health?
How can I build habits that stick?
What is my relationship with food and my body?
How do I know what kind and how much food is right for me?
Can exercise actually feel good?
You are the expert in your own body, and your lived experience matters. Our sessions include interactive activities, practical tools, and optional opportunities to share your insights and support others in a respectful, welcoming space.
Together, we’ll take lighter steps toward lasting change—one habit at a time.
