Lose Weight Forever
Obesity in the
U.S.
has reached epidemic proportions. Currently,
64.5
percent
of U.S. adults, age
20
years and older, are overweight and
30.5 percent are obese.
Obesity currently results in an estimated
400,000
deaths annually
and costs nearly $122.9
billion. This condition is significantly reducing the quality of
life among adults in our nation. Obesity also increases a person’s
risk for developing several serious health conditions such as
cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes. In addition,
childhood obesity affects more than
15
percent of the population under 18
years old classified as overweight.
Approximately
50 million Americans go on a diet each year — yet only
5 percent keep the weight they lose off.
Now you too can shed those unwanted pounds
safely keep it off by following meal plans prepared by a registered
dietitian. It takes commitment and knowledge to be successful.
These
meal plans
follow the USDA guidelines to provide balanced meals to keep you
healthy while losing weight. If you’ve tried and of the fad diets
that crop up new each year you will already have found out that
these are merely
temporary measures that need a permanent remedy.

Quick Facts...
Many diet products and programs offer a quick, short-term fix,
but there is no "magic bullet" for weight loss.
When investigating weight loss products or programs, beware of
high costs, pressure to buy special foods or pills, and fraudulent
claims.
Many of the commercial diet programs and fad duets offer only a
temporary solution to the problem. Weight can be quickly lost
but is often regained as soon as people return to their old eating
habits. Despite the fact that millions of dollars are spent each
year on quick fix programs, they do not work.
