"Why is it so hard to to maintain a healthy weight and good eating habits?\u00a0 It’s multi-factorial.\u00a0 Genetics loads the gun – but the environment pulls the trigger. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We are all different\u00a0 genetically in our hunger and satiety cues–the rate at which we burn off calories, our dietary patterns, and the stress-causing changes in our brains."<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

-Dr. Sharon Alger-Mayer, Associate Professor of Medicine, Division of Clinical Nutrition, Albany Medical College, Albany NY-<\/p>\n

Would you lose weight and start to exercise if it could save you money?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starting this year almost everyone at my place of work is getting with the Program<\/strong>.\u00a0 The diet & exercise program.\u00a0 If lowering cardiovascular risk, and feeling great isn’t enough motivation–maybe money will work!\u00a0 If we want to pay 2009 rates for our health insurance in 2010 & 2011 we need to show that we are either healthy, or we are taking serious steps to get healthy.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

If you have hypertension, elevated cholesterol, diabetes, asthma, are a smoker, or you are overweight (BMI above 27) you need to join a free program (including Curves or Weight Watchers) and reach the set healthy goals by November 2010 to get your rebate.<\/p>\n

Everyone, even those of us who are already in good shape–must still participate by joining a small "team" & tracking one or more healthy behaviors:<\/p>\n
