THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND

According to the U.S. governmental National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIH), more than 30% of adults in the country are overweight and more than 40% are even obese. I.e. their Body Mass Index (BMI), i.e. index weight-for-height, is at least 30% higher than what it got to be in terms of age and height. In fact, this index has tripled since 1975.

  • Develop exercise plan
  • Increasing activity level
      *   Set of goals which are realistic​
