We know it's difficult to eat healthfully and control weight. Like many Americans struggling with excess pounds, you may be concerned about the health risks associated with being overweight. Today's hectic schedules can make losing weight and finding healthy food options seem challenging, particularly for those who eat many of their meals out.

Research has shown that a diet lower in calories and fat, and high in fiber (fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes) can be helpful in achieving optimal weight -- potentially reducing the risk of some cancers, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other diseases.
