“Participants typically improve their eating habits during and after the DPP program but have trouble staying active”, instructor
Gina Plummer said.
“The trackers motivated people dramatically,” she said. “Some continued to lose more weight as a result of using the trackers.
They called them the ‘silent
Ginas’ since they no longer had me with them during the weekly core program, but now they had the trackers.”
