Starting in April, we will launch a new column entitled, "Weight Smart", which will focus on weight management and behavioral strategies to help you control or lose weight. With over 68% of U.S. adults considered overweight (defined as having a body mass index [BMI] greater than 25 kg/m2) and 33% considered obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2), weight management has been an increasingly popular topic, not only for adults but also for children.
