Breaking the Cycle: A Weight Loss Success Story
(firmenpresse) - PARSIPPANY, NJ -- (Marketwire) -- 11/30/11 -- According to a recent study in the American Journal of Preventative Health, obesity is almost as much of a public health threat as smoking(i).
Being overweight and concerned for your health can be hard at any age, but especially if you face the same health risks as your parents in your early twenties.
At 24 years old, Heather Latif weighed over two hundred pounds and was diagnosed with high blood pressure -- the same condition she watched her mom and grandmother suffer from her whole life. She couldn't believe she was dealing with the same issue at such a young age.
"I started working out and watching my calorie and fat intake. After talking to my doctor, I started taking alli, the only FDA-approved over-the-counter weight loss aid to boost my efforts. The program taught me to be more conscious of what I ate and make healthier choices," says Heather Latif. "In less than a year, I lost over 30 pounds and achieved normal blood pressure. The weight loss has helped me be more positive, active and confident."
