Did you know according to the CDC, the Avg U.S Obesity Rate is 42.2%?

Obesity rates remain at historic highs, despite a persistent focus on eating less and moving more, as guided by the energy balance model (EBM). Explaining obesity as a disorder of energy balance rests on principles of physics without considering biological mechanisms that could promote weight gain. An alternative theory, the carbohydrate insulin model (CIM), states that increased fat deposition in the body- caused by the hormonal responses to high carbohydrate diet-leads to a positive energy balance.

Looking to manage your weight over the holidays? Check out this weeks Blog on Weight Management which can be broken down into a few principles.

1. Weight status

Most common way to estimate your weight status is measuring your body mass index (BMI), waist
circumference and weight to height ratio. BMI provides an estimate of your total body fat which is more
accurate than weight alone.

2. Energy Balance

The science behind weight management rests on the concept of energy balance. The energy balance is the balance between the number of calories you consume and the number of calories you expand in any
given time period. To maintain stable body weight, the energy balance has to be equilibrium. In other words, the amount of energy intake (calories consumed) must equal the amount of energy expenditure (calories expanded).

People need the right mix of skills to thrive. Although academic skills remain important, they are not sufficient to foster fulfilled and successful life. People need to develop a greater breadth of skills to evaluate opportunities and apply knowledge in ways that meet the demands of our changing social and economic landscape. This state could be achieved by an individual engaging in self-development and personal growth.
