Overeater’s Anonymous
uses a religious base for their plan and has been proven to be effective
for those who are receptive to that particular approach. It has local

10:00 AM, on Sunday at the same location at 6:00 PM and at BCC on
Elsbree St on Tuesdays at 3:15 PM

All three of
these plans are good, but the food is delivered to your door (some of it is
dehydrated and needs to be reconstituted with water) and all of the contents
are already figured out by caloric content etc. It is convenient, but it
does not teach you how to choose the correct foods. And it is
expensive—average cost is $10 dollars a day or about $70-$80 a week. Once
you have lost the weight you have to learn to eat correctly again and it can
be a problem.
