Choose to Lose

If you are overweight, losing as little as 5 to 10 pounds may reduce your risk of heart attack or stroke. Maintain a healthy weight through diet and appropriate exercise as determined by your doctor. This may also help to lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Choose to lose weight for your health's sake. Then ask your doctor or a registered dietitian to help you set realistic weight-loss goals. Reward yourself when you reach a goal.

EVERY STEP COUNTS
  • Avoid large weight gaines and losses, especially as you age
  • Eat when you are hungry because extreme hunger can lead to overeating
  • Eat less fat
  • Try keeping a food diary
  • Ask your family and friends to support your healthy food choices
