Welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition.

I sure hope everyone listening is awake and alert this morning because I'm going to start right off with a statistic.

I'm not sure how many of you

realize this, but two out of three adults are overweight or obese. Two out of three.

So it's no surprise that obesity is considered a major health risk today in America.

Now, what I find just as sad is that most people, including a lot of medical professionals,

still believe that if people just eat less and exercise more, they'll lose weight and keep it

off.

That old theory, or some might call it a myth, of calories in equals calories out out is sadly what many people still believe and still live by.

Now all of you longtime listeners know as well as I do that weight loss and weight maintenance is far more complex than counting calories.

And if you haven't recognized my voice yet, I'm Cassie Wienis.

I'm a registered and licensed dietitian, and this morning my co-host and I are going to share

just how complex the issue of weight loss is for many people.

And I believe there is no better way to help you understand the complexity of weight loss

than to have my co-host Nell calls share her weight loss story.

We've talked about Nell's journey a number of different times on Dishing Up Nutrition

because fortunately for us,

Nell is willing to share the frustrations, the setbacks, and the victories that she's experienced on her long, hard road to finding the answer to help her lose 90 pounds.
