In total, the GLI programme lasts 2 years, with the first six months being a more intensive phase. During the first six months, there is a weekly group session to exercise/move together, as well as a number of individual appointments with the dietitian. After six months, you continue with the exercise on your own. You discuss with the lifestyle coach how things are going and what challenges you're facing. There are then fewer appointments, on average once every 3 months.
The dietitian
During the first six months, you visit the dietitian on average 3 to 4 times. Together with the dietitian, you look at the possibilities for adjusting your diet. Personal circumstances are taken into account, and you set achievable goals.The physiotherapist/exercise therapist
You attend a weekly group class during the first 6 months, on a fixed day and at a fixed time. Together with others, you work towards achieving the exercise guideline for adults. You start gently and build up gradually. This depends on your wishes and abilities.
The lifestyle coach
The lifestyle coach supports you in maintaining your healthy behaviour and also organises 2 more group sessions (in month 9 and month 12) and 4 individual appointments. The lifestyle coach also provides information about sleep and relaxation.
