Obesity is a problem that affects more than
60 million American women. It also affects their social lives and their overall health. Obesity causes high blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes and more. The fact of the matter is obesity is a disease. That's why it is so important to understand that all current medical interventions, including a physician supervised weight loss program, should not be considered medical cures. However, a physician supervised weight loss program can help obese patients live a healthier, longer life.
