Beverly Hills Weight Loss & Wellness® Unveils Xpound Program To Combat Child Obesity

(Sunday, April 02, 2006) - BEVERLY HILLS Weight Loss & Wellness® clinics announced that it has developed a comprehensive weight loss program for children aged 5 to 16. The long-awaited undertaking, entitled XPOUND or as abbreviated xlb., is under the direction of Donna Dodge, the Company's registered dietician and nutritionist.
As Ms. Dodge stated: "It's no secret, as a nation, we're getting fatter. More alarmingly, childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions. This trend is affecting more than just our children's weight; it's affecting their health. Until recently, type II diabetes was rare in kids but there has been a ten-fold increase during the past five years and doctors are seeing more high blood pressure than ever."

The new program, which stresses nutritional management, weight maintenance and development of an active lifestyle, is now available in all BEVERLY HILLS Weight Loss & Wellness® clinics and it is expected that parents will bring their children, and, as a family, become clients of the Company's clinics.
