Weight loss occurs when an individual is in a state of negative energy balance and this depends on both the quality and quantity of food intake, exercise, hydration levels and the emotional triggers that come into play when one embarks on a healthy weight reduction program. Although weight loss may involve loss of fat, muscle or fluid, weight loss for the purposes of maintaining health should aim to lose fat while conserving muscle and non-toxic fluid.
If you are here for weight loss, consider this the week you begin to turn your life around!

Weight Loss fees now deductible: April 2, 2002; IRS ruled (rev.rul.2002-19) that costs associated with participation in a weight loss program for tax payers suffering from a weight-related disease are deductible.
