Do you know the truth about portion distortion?  Take this quiz to find out.

According to the National Center for Health Statistics of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, over 60% of U.S. adult women are overweight, and over one third of these women are also obese.  Being overweight or obese can increase a woman’s risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, breathing problems, arthritis, and some kinds of cancer.  

To lose weight, you must burn more calories than you consume.  Talk to your doctor before beginning a weight-loss program.  Look for programs that encourage slow and steady weight loss, such as 1-2 pounds per week.  If you are trying to lose weight, replace sugary drinks and high fat foods with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.  Find a fun way to move more, such as walking with a friend.
