Summary |
Walgreen’s Weight Loss Center
Walgreens pharmacy has developed an online Health Library, and within this library is the Weight Loss Center. The Center provides a forum in which consumers can educate themselves on weight loss methods, from exercise to diet to surgery. In addition, there are various other resources for battling weight gain and dealing with motivational issues. |
| Program |
|
Three general headings provide the structure of the Weight Loss Center: Care Guides and In-Depth Reports, Health Encyclopedia, and Recipe File.
Under the Care Guides and Reports heading are links to weight control and diet options, surgery option information, and more. The information is as varied as the heading is vague: cancer and weight control issues, drug warnings, medication alerts, the effects of obesity on the body, new research news – these are some of the issues covered in this section, and the consumer can peruse all of them at his/her leisure.
In the Health Encyclopedia section, one can find information on Body Mass Index, the role of exercise in weight loss, and information on unintentional weight gain.
And for those of a more practical turn of mind, the Recipe File may offer the most beneficial resources. With what appears to be a regular rotation, three recipes are featured under this heading. At the time of this review, the following were posted: Baby Greens Salad with Grapefruit, Black Bean Salad with Lemon Mustard Vinaigrette, and Creamy Smoked Turkey and Blueberry Salad. These recipes obviously sound light, but also adventurous and delicious. By way of motivation, perhaps nothing could be more effective than a website that says, “Here, make this and eat it.”
In addition to these weight loss resources, the Walgreens Health Library maintains a variety of resources for overall health, and fortunately, it is offered in Spanish as well.

As a free information service, Walgreen’s Weight Loss Center seems to be as good as they come. Consumers looking to educate themselves on what it will take to drop a few pounds would do well to peruse the resources here, then get out and exercise regularly, eat a sensible diet, and drink plenty of water. If supplementation is desirable, Walgreens may end up providing information in their reports and alerts as well. All in all, this seems like a valuable resource.
