Australia's Healthy Weight Week - 14/06/2010

Australians are getting bigger

The number of overweight Australians is increasing with 7.4 million Australians now overweight. That's two thirds of adults and one quarter of our children that are now overweight and obese.
 
We gain weight when we eat more energy (kilojoules) than we use up through exercise or activity. Eating and drinking foods and drinks that are high in kilojoules or eating large amounts of food as well as being less physically active leads to weight gain.
 
There are lots of weight loss fads and gimmicks out there but in reality most people that lose weight from these types of diets regain their lost weight quickly, actually dieting themselves fatter over time.
 
We want to help you get it right. To lose weight, keep it off and be healthy and happy for life.

Successful weight loss needs a life-long commitment to a healthy lifestyle, including eating healthy foods and keeping physically active in a way that you can maintain and enjoy.
