If randomly asked people on the street about a personal trait they would like to change, weight loss is likely to be high on the list of responses. As people age, they often pack on a few extra, unwanted pounds, and find themselves uncertain of how to shed them. Though the simplistic adage of "burn more calories than you intake" summarizes the solution in broad strokes, doctors Donald Hensrud, M.D. and Amit Sood, M.D. delve into the more complex aspects of weight loss on this program from the "Mayo Clinic Wellness Solutions" series, like habits, the effects of marketing, portion control, learning to eat healthy food without depriving yourself of things you like and the dangers of not acting on the problem. The program also includes both a yoga and meditation session tailored to weight loss from Rodney Yee, and a guide to healthy grocery shopping.
