Product Features
The Prism Weight Loss Program is a low carbohydrate diet which relies heavily on group participation, ongoing workbook exercises and adherence to Biblical ideas to change the participantsí attitudes and approach toward the consumption of food. The Prism Program is structured in six week parts; each part has a workbook of 42 daily lessons, including Scripture readings, and a diet plan. The first session also has an introduction video and a six lesson teaching video for those who want to form their own in person support group. Group participation is also available through the official online website, as are discussion boards and program guides. Participants are free to take part in one six week phase, the total four part program, or to repeat a week as needed before moving on. The diet plan for each week focuses on consuming 1,200 to 1,400 calories each day of whole healthy foods and on removing processed grain and sugar products from the diet. Calorie counting, carbohydrate counting and weighting of food is considered vital to success. The cost of the Prism Program is between $60.00 and $80.00 a week depending on the program part. There is also an available book which outlines the program.

Disadvantages
- There is no clinical evidence given at the official Prism Weight Loss website to back up the effectiveness of the program.
- The Prism Program calls for strict portion control, including weighing foods, which is very time consuming.

Conclusion
The Prism Weight Loss Program is not a general short term diet plan to help participants lose a few pounds. Rather it is a lifestyle change which affects the way participants view and relate to food. There are daily readings and workbook exercises so the program is not for those who are not willing to commit a considerable amount of time and effort into changing their dietary habits. In addition, it should be noted that at the center of the entire program is an emphasis on a Bible based approach to life, so it might not be appropriate for consumers who do not have a specific Christian background or at least a general Spiritual approach to life.
