New Weight Management
Tool
The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes
temptations to overindulge in high calorie foods. But there is no
need to fear holiday weight gain if you know the facts about weight
management. NHLBI offers a new tool entitled Aim for a Healthy
Weight. This booklet is both an important resource for adults
who may already be struggling with weight issues, and also for those
who want to maintain a healthy weight.

Learn the concept of "energy balance", body mass
index or BMI, and why maintaining a healthy weight is
important. The booklet provides practical, easy-to-use
information on healthy eating and physical activity, setting
weight loss goals, and rewarding success. Get a handle on
portion distortion, sample delicious reduced calorie menus,
and try the tips on dining out. Also use the booklet to keep a
weekly food and activity diary, or start the sample walking
program.

season with an affordable weight management tool? Consider
adding this practical booklet to your patient education or
personal health collection.
