A new clinical weight loss program in Vanderhoof has seen a lot of residents working to get in shape.  Since January the Omineca Medical Clinic has been offering clients the chance to lose weight in safe, permanent way.  Dr. Michael Makin says the program the program has patients cutting down on carbohydrates.

"Every week we have a discussion about a different topic," says Makin, "whether that is the effect of obesity on diabetes, on blood pressure, on different cancers,  we have a dietician, we have an exercise trainer come in and speak to them."

Makin says participants in the program have lost anywhere between 30 and 120 pounds.  Anyone interested in being in the weight loss program can contact the Omineca Medical Clinic in Vanderhoof.
