To Life!™ -- An Introduction
Obesity is epidemic in this country. Ninety to ninety five million adult Americans are now officially overweight, with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or greater. Increased risk of heart attack begins at a BMI of only 27 for tens of millions of adults who are overweight and also have any combination of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or elevated cholesterol. A BMI of 30 or greater means you are obese and are at statistically greater risk of early heart disease even if you do not have any other medical problems. The To Life!™ program is a nationally recognized lifestyle change and weight loss program designed to attack the issue of obesity with a comprehensive approach. The initial goal of therapy is to achieve weight loss of at least ten percent of body weight because heart attack risk reduction begins there. To Life!™ provides a structured classroom and support system that gives patients the time they need both during and after weight loss to practice newly acquired skills, all the while rehabilitating their sense of self esteem … the critical elements needed for long term success. The structure of the program is as follows: Information about To Life!™ is available from:
