Weight Management & Nutrition

Obesity is a chronic disease resulting in abnormal fat accumulation that can impair one’s health. Many people believe that the amount of fat in your body is only determined by what you eat and how much you exercise. But the reality is, it is a chronic, complex, relapsing, and often progressive disease.

Currently, 70% of the U.S population is overweight.

30.1% of North Carolinians, have a BMI of more than 30.

People who are overweight are more likely to have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and other weight-related health problems. There are many reasons why people are slowly gaining weight over time. It can be hard to lose and keep the excess weight off.
