Almost 70% of American adults struggle with obesity. Obesity can cause a multitude of other health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancers, which often lead to premature death.

Obesity may be caused by genetics, overeating, physical inactivity, consuming a diet high in simple carbohydrates or fats, certain medications, and even psychological factors. Changes to your lifestyle and eating habits are the foundation to permanent weight loss. But many people cannot do this alone.
