Obesity problems affects millions of Americans today. Since 1960s the obesity rates have tripled. One third of our children and more than two third of adults are over weight. Obesity results in increased rate of heart disease, cancer, diabetes etc. Life expectation reduces by 13 years if a person is overweight by 20.

Considering the above, if a person is obese then there is no option for him/her but to lose weight in a healthy manner. Losing weight is not difficult. It is commonsense - burning more calories than calories consumed. Body requires certain minimum number of calories for normal functions like breathing and digestion called Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). The actual number of calories required is a sum total of BMR and the calories required to perform extra activities. When the calories consumed exceeds the actual number of calories required by the body then it leads to weight gain. Daily calorie intake must be estimated accurately by keeping a food dairy and doing the totals which is indeed a tedious task. There are certain weight management products available which provide with meal and snack alternatives which are nutrient dense, low in calories, delicious and provides satisfaction.
