Experimental: GLB CVA Latino
The GLB program, adapted for Latino individuals with stroke, will be delivered to participants over a 12-month period, divided into 22 in-person or virtual, group sessions. The goal of the GLB program is to help the participant achieve and maintain a 5-7% weight-loss using a two-pronged approach:~1. Physical activity: This is based upon recommendations by the American Heart Association and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) to achieve 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity each week. Walking is the primary activity recommended.~2. Healthy eating: Based on United States Department of Agriculture guidelines, the GLB emphasizes healthy eating patterns and tracking dietary intake. Key recommendations include individuals consuming (1) a variety of vegetables, (2) whole fruits, (3) whole grains, (4) fat-free or low-fat dairy, (5) a variety of lean proteins, and (6) oils at every meal
