Quote from: "Diet Myths That Keep Us Fat" by Nancy L. Snyderman, M.D.

"Losing a few pounds can make a big difference to your health. Some people think they will never lose enough weight to improve their health. Not true. For example, for every 2 pounds of excess weight you lose, your blood cholesterol drops by an average of 3 points. That's nothing to scoff at. Losing weight can help you r blood pressure, too. In one study, after losing as few as a 9 pounds, people were able to bring their high blood pressure down to normal. Some people even went off medication with their doctor's approval."
