Losing Weight

More than half of American adults today are overweight, with one-third considered obese.

Weight and health are strongly related to each other. Being overweight or obese raises our risk of many serious health problems. Even moderate amounts of weight loss, around 5 to 10 percent of your weight, can have long-lasting health benefits.

 The calories we eat can either be converted to physical energy or stored within our body, but they can't magically disappear.

All unused calories in our body become fat, regardless of where they come from.

Unless we use these stored calories by reducing calories intake so that our body must draw on reserves for energy.
