Weight Management
Obesity is the most common nutritional disorder in the world today and
its incidence continues to increase in developed countries at a rapid rate.
Some 61 per cent of the Irish population is overweight or obese and the numbers
continue to rise every year. Research also shows that 26 per cent of 7-year-old
girls and 18 per cent of boys are overweight or obese. The problem is blamed for
an estimated 2,000 premature deaths in Ireland each year while the indirect cost
is estimated at €400 million.
The good news is that weight gain can be reversed with the help and expertise
from the dietitians at Peaknutrition who will provide advice on diet and life
style changes so that your goals can be achieved and more importantly maintained.
