Did you know...?
As of 2021, 42% of U.S. adults and 19% of U.S. children and adolescents are overweight or obese.
This issue is not simply an imbalance between the number of calories an individual consumes and the number of calories the individual expends. Weight gain results from the interaction of multiple factors that should all be considered when working on making healthy lifestyle changes. The answer to this issue is not "Dieting" as this often leads to unhealthy eating behaviors with negative long term effects.
