Manage your weight rather than have your weight manage you!
Americans are growing in size, but not in a good way. The percentage
of Americans who are overweight and obese has reached epidemic
proportions in the United States. Unfortunately, many other prosperous
countries are following the same pattern. It’s not a simple
problem with a simple solution, but it must be faced head on
for the health and future wellbeing of individuals and of the
world.
Being overweight and obese leads to so many other problems,
including heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, depression,
cancer, sleep problems, joint problems, foot problems, and
more. The costs are mounting up both in quality of life as
well as financially.
There’s more to weight management than just losing weight.
The saying “You can’t be too skinny” is not
true. Not everyone needs to lose weight. In fact, it may be
dangerous for some. It takes a knowledgeable health care professional
to know the difference.
For those who need to lose weight, these people need more
help than just being told, “You need to lose weight,” or “Watch
what you eat,” or “Eat less and move more.” They
need knowledge, inspiration, and tools to not only lose weight,
but just as importantly, to keep off the weight they lose.
I have been on both sides, overweight and underweight. I understand
weight management is not easy. “It’s a lifelong
battle, but one you can win. If I did it, you can too. “
I enjoy helping people get over their weight problems. I also
work closely with my architect husband to help build healthy
neighborhoods by creating walkable communities. I want to help
you and/or your business in the field of weight management. |
