Being overweight can seriously affect your health. If you’re overweight, you’re more likely to develop health problems such as heart disease, a stroke and type 2 diabetes.
Most overweight people are overweight because they consume more energy than they use through physical activity. This means that the best way to lose weight is to make achievable, long-lasting changes to your eating and physical activity habits. The good news is that losing weight is not only healthy, it is great for self-esteem, confidence and that ‘feelgood’ factor. And once you start seeing results, you’ll probably want to lose more. You’ll also feel able to achieve more, have more energy, and sleep better.
