Message to Philadelphia Residents: Forgo Fad Dieting and Join the Campaign for Healthy Weight

Campaign to Visit Pennsylvania to Rally Residents to Eat Right, Move More

and Milk Their Diets

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The last decade can be defined by the ups and downs of different fad diets -- which seem to go in and out of fashion like shoulder pads and hemlines. Yet, long-term success has been slim. Two out of three Americans -- including 57 percent of Pennsylvania residents -- remain overweight or obese.

Studies indicate that small, specific changes in physical activity and calorie intake can make a big difference. And, people who maintain a healthy weight are less likely to be at risk for weight-related health conditions, such as heart disease. The Campaign will make its stop in Philadelphia on November 15th, 2008, to urge local residents to change their "diet" mindset and elect a new attitude.

Health management is starting to become a bigger part of weight management. The key is to make small, sustainable changes that can last a lifetime. Drinking lowfat or fat free milk as a part of a healthy daily eating plan and walking more every day are two easy adjustments that can go a long way in supporting a healthy weight.

Weighing in on the American Diet

The study, conducted by The NPD Group in collaboration with the Milk Processor Education Program, found the majority of Americans say they are on a diet for their health and their weight; 68 percent say "feeling healthier" is why they're dieting.

People who are watching their weight, however, are making less than optim
