You're not alone

  • Over the years, the kilos build up... You’ve followed one or more diets without really getting any long term result. Don’t worry! You’re not alone: here are a few figures which show the situation in Belgium:
     
    • Excess weight* is a major problem in our country
      • > 50% of Belgians over 35 years old are overweight (1/2 men, 1/3 women)
      • Estimated number of overweight Belgians in 2010: 4.2 million
    • Excess weight, a problem of epidemic proportions

* Definition of excess weight = BMI > 25
