Everyone knows it all started with food, but who knows where it will end?
Currently, over half of women and about two-thirds of men are either overweight or obese.
Being overweight or obese increases the risk of developing heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and osteoarthritis and in most cases there is no turning back.
Obesity causes about 18 million sick days and 30,000 deaths a year in England alone (source: National Audit Office).
To maintain a healthy weight, it's important to follow a balanced diet.
Physical activity has benefits not only for controlling body weight over the long term, but also in controlling appetite. It has beneficial effects on the heart and blood that help to prevent cardiovascular disease.
If you want to lose weight, it's important not to go on a "crash diet" but to change how you eat and organise a new healthy eating lifestyle that you can keep to all the time (not just when you're trying to lose weight)
If you go back to eating more calories than you need, you will put the weight back on.
