Health benefits of weight loss
The health benefits of weight loss are profound. With just 5-10% of total body weight loss, you can prevent Type 2 DM, improve physical function, decrease blood glucose levels, and prevent or improve existing hypertension and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (now known as MASLD). With greater than 10% total cost weight loss, you can decrease your risk of cardiovascular disease and sleep apnea. And with greater than 15% total body weight loss, a diagnosis of Type 2 DM can be in remission. These are only a few of the many benefits.
