Learn Healthy Weight Loss Strategies at the Duke Diet and Fitness Center
Duke Diet and Fitness Center is the world’s only residential-style weight-loss program integrated within an internationally renowned academic medical center. For 50 years, our unrivaled, comprehensive healthy approach, tailored to individual needs, has helped people achieve sustainable weight loss and transform their lives.*
At Duke we believe losing weight is not just positive and transformational change, but also about getting the multiple, life-saving benefits that come along with it, like lower cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and lower blood sugar.
Lose weight—and gain so many other benefits.
Our graduates of a four-week program lose an average of 5 percent of their initial body weight while they’re here. Participants also report significant health and quality-of-life improvements, such as:
- Reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes and obesity-related conditions
- Reduced disability from arthritis and chronic pain
- Improved endurance, mobility, strength and flexibility
- A healthier, more balanced approach to eating and activity
- Improved ability to manage stress and enhanced mood
- A total change of mindset about diet and exercise that works with their lifestyle and enables them to maintain progress at home
If you’re looking for a spa—this isn’t the place. But if you’re ready to get serious about your health; to invest the time, heart, energy, money and personal commitment; and to take your life back, there’s no better place than Duke Diet and Fitness Center.
