This article is garbage.

I sell group health insurance and I'm in the trecnhes so to speak and see what's happening in the real world so to speak. The people that are overweight by 25+ lbs or more have HBP, diabetes, acid reflux, sleep apnea at unbelieveable numbers and is growing out of control. 20 years ago on a group of 10 employees 2-3 had medical conditions. Today 8-9 out of the 10 have medical conditions and the majority of it comes down to weight issues.

I can't tell you how many clients who have lost considerable weight also lowered their HBP, got their diabetes, sleep apnea etc under control.

.....I can't tell you how many clients who have lost considerable weight also lowered their HBP, got their diabetes, sleep apnea etc under control......

Me for one.

The second very important factor in addition to weight loss is excercise. A gain of as few as five pounds above the magic weight number will trigger all of the above and once it is passed on the down side....they go away.
