The IntaShape program was introduced into Lilly Pharmaceuticals in 2005. A senior member of staff had this to say about the program:

"Personally I feel I have made improvements to my overall health and fitness through a combination of being better informed about food and how to "use" it and how I can modify my lifestyle relatively easily in a sustainable way for the future. The social side of the programme at work does lead to a lot of discussion about food and healthy eating habits, it's like being part of a club and everybody's encouraging each other. I would recommend the program to anyone!"
