Weight Management
Weight management is an increasingly prominent problem for people with and without other medical problems like diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

The initial approach to weight management requires attention to one’s diet and regular exercise. Traditional low-fat diets, high-fat low-carbohydrate diets (Atkins), and diets in between (South Beach) have all helped people lose weight. Ongoing medical studies will determine which of these diets is safest.
