How do I reach my goal weight & does it really matter.

Reaching your goal weight is primarily about reducing your daily calorie intake. Cutting calories each day can lead to a healthy and sustainable reduction in body fat—especially when combined with consistent physical activity.

One of the hardest topics to discuss in a clinical setting is weight and weight loss. Many people are very sensitive about their weight and may be reluctant to take personal responsibility for it. However, the fact remains: there is a direct correlation between being overweight, obese, or morbidly obese and an increased risk of serious diseases—including diabetes, stroke, cancer, and other conditions associated with high morbidity.

Maintaining a healthy body weight—meaning a weight appropriate for your height—is essential for long-term health and disease prevention.
