Lower Your Health Risks

[marie]

If you are overweight, losing as little as 5 percent of your body weight may lower your risk for several diseases, including coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes. If you weigh 200 pounds, this means losing 10 pounds.

• The safest way to lose weight is slow and steady weight loss of 1/2 to 2 pounds per week, and not more than 3 pounds per week.
• To lose weight, or to maintain weight loss, you will likely need to do more than 30 minutes of moderate physical activity daily.
