Step 2: Eat Better

In 1999, almost 108 million adult Americans were overweight or obese. If you are
overweight or obese, carrying this extra weight puts you at risk for developing many diseases, especially heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer. Losing this weight helps to prevent and control these diseases. But many people are confused about how to approach weight loss safely. The good news is that this may be accomplished by eating healthy, balanced, and well-apportioned meals.  Check out our section on setting goals to find out how to realistically manage a new eating lifestyle.


Step 3: Get Active

If you think of getting active as one more thing on your long to-do list, you'll never
get moving. That's why we're here -- to offer tools that make it easy to integrate
activity into your daily life.

You don't need to go to the gym five times a week to be healthy. For instance, did you know that a forty-five minute walk at a brisk pace (3 to 4 miles an hour) can burn up to 300 calories? Or that by making small changes in your daily routine -- like parking further away, taking the stairs, and playing active games with your kids -- you can start living an active, healthy life? 

Set and meet realistic goals in your life.
