Obesity
Obesity has been termed "the basic defect" by those studying it because it so often underlies other problems ranging from back pain to diabetes to precursors of heart disease like high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol. Losing weight and keeping it off will not be an easy task so it would be advisable to call CAIPM for help. You can reach us at NNN-NNNN and ask for information about the Weight Programs. There, in addition to helping you lose weight, we will help you look for the reasons underlying your weight. We have found this to be an essential step in keeping weight off. If you call, we will send you a videotape containing a description of the program and the comments of a number of patients who have successfully completed the Program. You will be interested in knowing we have treated over 400 patients, each of whom has lost over one hundred pounds. If you lose major amounts of weight and successfully keep it off, you will contribute significantly to your own health and long term well being. Major weight loss may be the single most important thing you can do for yourself. |
