OUR WHOLE PERSON APPROACH
Being
Overweight Excess weight is a serious problem for people of all ages. It can affect the mind, body, and spirit. Obesity increases the risk for at least five of the leading causes of death: •
heart disease Unfortunately, most efforts to lose weight and maintain weight loss are unsuccessful. This results in a pattern of weight cycling - one gains and loses weight repeatedly over the years. Weight cycling is a direct result of quick-fix diets, weight-loss gimmicks, and other risky strategies. Without adequate physical activity and healthy eating habits, each time you shed a few pounds, you lose lean body mass, along with body fat. For weight loss approaches that are short-lived, pounds go back on quickly. Without exercise, those regained pounds become body fat, which burns less energy than muscle. The cycle of “failure, success, failure” makes it psychologically harder to try again, too. The
Solution The good news is . . . you can break the cycle! Rather than focusing on weight loss, why not shift your approach to weight management? Learning to manage your weight means making gradual and permanent changes in your eating habits, your activity level, your attitude toward food and fitness, and your lifestyle.
