Studies show that….
• A healthy weight reduces the risk of diabetes by 90%
“Apart from Lung Cancer, Diabetes is the only other disease that can almost be eliminated with a simple lifestyle change.”
Walter Willett, Professor, Harvard School of Public Health

So many fad diets that don’t work over the long term…

3 Day Diet

Your turn….
![Page 35: HEALTH FIRST Diabetes, Obesity, & Mortality: A Patient’s Perspective Steve Hirsch, MD.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cd95503460f949a2ad4/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

“This program is so easy to follow: I never feel like I am on a diet, and I am
never hungry. I’m very focused on what I eat and drink. I quickly realized that I
was drinking too much alcohol, and eating way too many starches. Since I’ve lost the 40 lbs, I no longer feel sluggish, I
have tons of energy, and I also like the compliments that I’m getting about how
great I look. Keeping the weight off is also easy with the maintenance
program that I now follow. Physical activity and exercise is now just a part
of my life.”

Sugars: More Sinister Than You Think
The average American (& Canadians are not that far behind) consumes 90 lbs of sugar per year.
How do you limit your sugar consumption?
• Read labels
• Avoid soft drinks
• Avoid fruit juices, even the unsweetened varieties
• Avoid yogurt with added fruit
• Avoid sugary breakfast cereals
• Avoid processed and packaged foods; pastries, cookies, buns, pies, ice cream
![Page 38: HEALTH FIRST Diabetes, Obesity, & Mortality: A Patient’s Perspective Steve Hirsch, MD.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cd95503460f949a2ad4/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Reading Labels:Sugar: Bottle of Cola
Remember: 4 grams of sugar = 1 teaspoon
How much sugar is that???
17.5
![Page 39: HEALTH FIRST Diabetes, Obesity, & Mortality: A Patient’s Perspective Steve Hirsch, MD.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cd95503460f949a2ad4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
