    From Floris van Unen@999:31/1 to All on Tuesday, December 03, 2024 09:05:18

    Hello everybody!

    To battle my overweight (BMI 38) with the consequences of having high blood pressure and high cholesterol and sleep apnea, i joined CLI, which our government started as a combined lifestyle intervention program, working together with physiotherapists and dietists and municipality-sports-coordinators. GPs have the option of referring patients to this form of group intervention. Researchers have provided evidence on the basis of which CLI is now covered by basic health insurance. This is a two year program in which the first year we get group sessions with knowledge about digestion and behaviour and excersizing, and the 2nd year is repetition and monitoring. We are currently a group of 10 (3 quit already) of all ages but all high BMI. This is unique for The Netherlands afaik.

    Sounds like a good program. Nice that it is covered by basic insurance. I'm sure that
    the things you learn will certainly help you. Stick with the program.
