Best Weigh is a 10-week program designed to help people lose weight, learn the principles of good nutrition, and experience God as the agent of lasting behavior change in the human life. Best Weigh is a health evangelism program developed by Dr. Elvin Adams in 1974. Since then, it has been used around the world and helped thousands of people experience the power that a connection with God brings to practical health issues.
Best Weigh is designed to follow the principles outlined in this book. It is designed to be conducted in Seventh-day Adventist churches. It utilizes church members as small group leaders. It contains not only correct scientific lectures for health professional presentation, but spiritual messages for presentation by the pastoral staff.

These spiritual components have been shown to significantly improve the successful weight loss of the participants who take the Best Weigh program. Best Weigh incorporates these principles in an easy-to-use format and gives a systems-based solution to those seeking to implement a health evangelism program that is “out of the box.”
