The Importance of Healthy Weight Loss

Here's a guide to understanding the importance of healthy weight loss. If you're overweight or obese, you are not alone – you're among nearly 130 million other U.S. adults.

WebMD has created a weight loss clinic to addresses this public health epidemic.

The WebMD Weight Loss Clinic incorporates a variety of foods you like to eat, continuously adapts to your lifestyle, and allows for weight loss at a realistic pace – so you don't feel like you are on a diet.
