Losing weight isn’t easy.
The majority of adults in England in 2018 were overweight or obese. Obesity rates increased steeply between 1993 and around 2000, with a slower rate of increase after that. In 2018, the proportion of adults who were obese was 28%. Overall, 67% of men and 60% of women were classed as overweight or obese.
We know there are health risks associated with being overweight, including an increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke.
In September 2020, we have teamed up with LiveWell Dorset and ActiveDorset to bring you a month of special podcasts covering some of the great ways LiveWell Dorset and Active Dorset can help you.
LiveWell Dorset is a free service provided by Public Health Dorset. They are able to support people on their journey to become happier and healthier with free advice and coaching concentrating on losing weight, moving more, stopping smoking and drinking less. We know that these 4 behaviours all have an impact on both our short and long term health.
For the second of these special podcasts, we are joined by Steve del Rosa who discusses weight management with us and gives us some great ideas how we can make those long-term changes to help with weight loss and keeping it off.
You can hear the podcast on our podcast page or you can hear it here:
