Health Benefits
Getting to a weight that’s healthy for you can:
Lower your blood pressure
Lower your blood sugar
Raise your HDL ("good") cholesterol
Lower your LDL ("bad") cholesterol
And if you have overweight or obesity, getting to a weight that’s healthy for you can help lower your risk of serious health conditions like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers.
You may get these health benefits by losing just 5 to 10 percent of your body weight. For example, if you weigh 200 pounds, this would mean losing 10 to 20 pounds.
