Weight Loss Simplified   Excess weight affects life and prevents us from enjoying day to day activities. It makes each day a weighty problem.Many conditions like hormonal imbalance, hereditary conditions, poor diet choices and lack of physical activity over a long period are responsible for weight gain and obesity. Several medical conditions are associated with being overweight like diabetes, hypertension, heart related ailments, sleep apnea, joint issues etc. Significant improvement or resolution of these conditions can be obtained by losing excess weight.   Not all weight gain and excess weight can be conquered with exercise and diet therapy.
