- Trevose Behavior Modification Program
- The Trevose Behavior Modification Program (TBMP) began in Philadelphia in 1970 with ten members. It was founded by David S. Zelitch, an insurance executive, under the direction of Albert J. Stunkard, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry and Director of the Obesity Research Clinic at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. After a heart attack, David Zelitch had lost nearly 100 pounds by following many of the behavioral modifications and changes in eating habits advocated by Dr. Stunkard. Members meet in groups of ten people for one hour a week. During the first six months they engage in an intensive study of their eating habits. The goal is to substitute good habits for bad habits and to learn to keep their lost weight off permanently. This process includes increasing awareness of those habits and keeping a written record of daily food intake. Nutrition education is also stressed and a regular program of increased physical activity is strongly encouraged.
