Maintaining a healthy weight is an important step we can take to greatly reduce the possibility of developing certain forms of cancer. When trying to lose excess weight, many of us turn to fad diets that promise a quick fix. These dieting schemes often cause short-term weight loss, continuing no more than six months, followed by weight regain. Typically more weight is gained than was lost. The best way to lose excess weight is to improve health habits in lasting ways by eating well, living actively and making realistic healthy weight-loss goals.
To mark National Healthy Weight Week, the Prevent Cancer Foundation has designed this infographic to show safe and effective ways to help you and your loved ones maintain a healthy body weight. Committing to these simple lifestyle changes can greatly improve your health and help us all Stop Cancer Before it Starts!

I have to say that keeping a log of daily foods & drinks has helped me to calculate the amount of calories and fat, so i was able to adjust my eating habbits to the better. It’s really helpful to stay on track about what you eat throughout the day. Sugar drinks like Coke or Sprite have been my worst nightmare, but was able to replace them successfully – and propaply won’t ever drink those sugar bombs.
