Reflection...

Weight control is a major aspect of your health. Weight loss or gain can be achieved by changing caloric intake, changing caloric output, or a combination of the two. To maintain weight, your caloric intake (what you eat) should be the same as your average daily caloric output (what you burn up). Permanent weight control is best achieved by a combined program of proper nutrition and regular exercise.
