Weight Loss

According to The Australian Obesity Society, recent data indicates that almost 60% of Australian adults (52% of women and 67% of men) are now classified as either overweight or obese. This figure is expected to increase to almost 70% by the year 2010.

Although there are many contributing factors, sedentary lifestyles and poor diet are widely considered to be the most significant.

Being overweight significantly increases the risk of developing ongoing health problems, including:

· Diabetes

· High blood pressure

· High cholesterol

· Some forms of cancer

· Arthritis

· Gynaecologic disorders

· Lung problems
