Learn how God calls Christians to be physically fit, and understand the positive effect good nutrition and exercise have on our emotions and spirit!. That's First Place 4 Health! Although weight management is often a motivation for joining a First Place group, the focus is not just on the body, or on the number on the scale. That’s a crucial difference between this program and other health management programs. By applying disciplines that affect the whole person (body, mind, heart and spirit) you will not only experience physical health but will also experience total health; HEALTH FOR LIFE!!

The FP4H nutrition plan is based on the USDA MyPyramid Food Guidelines as well as the most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans The USDA food guide provides suggested amounts of food to consume from the basic food groups (fruits, vegetables, grains, milk, meat & beans, and healthy oils) based on our calorie range. You can go to the MyPyramid.gov site to obtain a calorie range, or refer to your FP4H Member Guide for the range suggested for healthy weight loss! * Please always check with your doctor before drastically changing your diet or significantly decreasing your calorie intake.
