The Heavy Cost of Obesity
Did you know that 70% of Americans are overweight?
And that one in three are considered obese? In fact, 42% of adults in the U.S. gained an average of 29 pounds during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Obesity increases the risk for many serious diseases and health conditions:
-
All-causes of death (mortality)
-
High blood pressure (hypertension)
-
High LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol or high levels of triglycerides
-
Type 2 diabetes
-
Coronary heart disease
-
Stroke
-
Gallbladder disease
-
Osteoarthritis
-
Sleep apnea and breathing problems
-
Many types of cancer
-
Low quality of life and self esteem
-
Mental illness such as clinical depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders
-
Body pain and difficulty with physical functioning
Your body also has a “set point” which is the number on the scale your weight normally hovers around. The treatment plan creates a new, lower set point after you lose your weight goal amount.
