"This image shows a 250 lb woman on the left and a 120 lb woman on the right. We can see weight gain from the outside, but we usually can't see what it's doing on the inside. Look at the fat surrounding the organs in the woman on the left. Do you also see the fat around her heart and around her brain? A little scary, isn't it? Look at the compression around the stomach and internal organs. Do you think that would have any impact on GERD and indigestion? Look at the compressed knee joints. Do you think those joints ache a little more than they should?"

Losing weight isn't just about your image, it's about your health. Visceral fat around your organs is deadly and the person on the left is at very high risk for cardiovascular disease (heart attack, stroke), diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure) and other chronic diseases. But with the adoption of healthy eating and physical activity, this person can eliminate all that and enjoy a higher quality of life.
What steps are you taking to make your life healthier? Ready to make a change?
