Ideal Body Weight

More than 60 percent of US adults are considered overweight. Studies have shown that losing as little as 5 percent to 10 percent of your body weight can improve your health.

Likewise, being underweight can also lead to certain health conditions. An obsession with weight loss may also lead to eating disorders and nutritional deficiencies that may be life threatening.
