To lose weight fast safely
Do you need to lose weight? If so, you’re not alone.
More than half of American adults are overweight or
obese, and more than one in three Americans are
trying to lose weight.


Perhaps you’re planning to try one of the many
available weight loss products or services, but aren’t
sure which one is right for you. It’s easy to feel lost
in the maze of choices out there – each promising
the best results.


Now there’s help in sorting through all these
options. The Partnership for Healthy Weight
Management encourages providers of weight loss
programs to follow Voluntary Guidelines for
Providers of Weight Loss Products or Services* to
give you basic information about their methods.


The first part of this booklet describes the type of
information participating programs provide and
helps you ask the right questions to choose a safe
and effective weight loss method. The second part
helps you tell whether your weight puts you at risk
for health problems.

To lose weight fast safely

  • 2. Do you need to lose weight? If so, you’re not alone. More than half of American adults are overweight or obese, and more than one in three Americans are trying to lose weight. Perhaps you’re planning to try one of the many available weight loss products or services, but aren’t sure which one is right for you. It’s easy to feel lost in the maze of choices out there – each promising the best results. Now there’s help in sorting through all these options. The Partnership for Healthy Weight Management encourages providers of weight loss programs to follow Voluntary Guidelines for Providers of Weight Loss Products or Services* to give you basic information about their methods. The first part of this booklet describes the type of information participating programs provide and helps you ask the right questions to choose a safe and effective weight loss method. The second part helps you tell whether your weight puts you at risk for health problems.

To tell whether your weight is a health risk, locate your BMI in the “Find Your BMI” chart on the facing page. Then, measure your waist at the point below your ribcage but above your navel. Use your BMI and waist size to determine your risk using the Weighing Your Risk chart. If your weight puts you at increased risk for health problems, talk with your primary health care provider about safe and suitable options for improving your health.
