Two thirds of the nation needs guaranteed weight loss!

New Federal dietary guidelines say that we eat too much of the wrong things as a Nation!


One third of all Americans have a BMI (Body Mass Index)* over 30. This means that they are at serious risk of Type II diabetes, coronary heart disease and kidney failure and are probably very unhappy with the way they look as well!

Information written and reviewed by experts indicates that simple weight control measures can make a big difference in quick time. It is possible to eat well and to keep hunger at bay, even as we steadily achieve a normal Body Mass Index*.

The enormous financial burden of our Health Insurance System calls for a critical analysis of health issues to affect policy for our future health as a people. The Federal dietary guidelines have been issued before and information sharing institutions must ponder on why we keep getting fatter!

It is easy to make a few tweaks in eating and food preparation habits, to stay healthy and satiated at the same time. A Nutrition expert would love to make each one of us a diet that is delicious and that works at the same time. Knowledge of the food pyramid and the food exchange concept are keys to achieving health literacy in the matter of diet and fitness. The Federal report mentions changes we need to make in exercise habits as well. These can be as easy as walking from the car park and there are many enjoyable ways to work off the fat.

The Nation will change with us. Start today and read the Federal report. It applies to you and can improve your wellness and longevity through its friendly advice.
