Losing weight is one of the most challenging areas in personal health. As your weight increases, so does your risk for many diseases linked to obesity. Excess weight is an established risk factor for high blood pressure, diabetes, breast and colon cancer, metabolic syndrome, high cholesterol, osteoarthritis, chronic inflammation and heart disease. Obesity related medical conditions contribute to 300,000 deaths each year, second only to smoking as a cause of preventable death (JAMA, 1996;276:1907-1915). Major contributors to obesity are over consumption of food and lack of physical activity. These poor lifestyle habits lead to metabolic damage, causing weight loss resistance.
