Weight Management.

 

  • Most of us know that changing dietary patterns is difficult and, more often than not, unsuccessful. Studies show that 95% of dieters can lose weight short term but regain their weight, plus more, after five years. There is no miracle cure! Research shows that many factors play a role in weight management: genetic disposition, metabolism, lifestyle, and mental status. By addressing psychological and social issues, eating habits, and activity and fitness levels, you can successfully maintain your biological appropriate body weight.
