Is HM2 for you (user)?

According to recent studies, more than 55% of American adults are either "overweight" or "obese".  In addition, there are many other individuals who have lifestyles and eating disorders which cause them to be underweight.  If you answer "yes" to any of the following questions, HealthMed2 can help you!

Weight Factors
  1. Is your Body Mass Index (BMI) unhealthy?

  2. Do you often find yourself overeating?
  3. Have you been diagnosed with an eating disorder?
  4. Does your weight regularly fluctuate by 10 pounds or more?
  5. Do you often skip meals like breakfast, or eat late at night?
Risk Factors
  1. Do you have personal or family history of heart disease?
  2. Are you a male older than 45 years?

Remember, the higher your BMI and waist measurement, and the more risk factors you have, the more you are likely to benefit from weight loss.  (Note: Weight loss is usually not advisable for pregnant women.)  Click here to learn how to join the HealthMed2 Wellness Program.
