    The categories of obesity developed by the World Health Organization are:

    BMI 25 to 29.9 – Grade 1 obesity (moderate overweight)
    BMI 30 to 39.9 – Grade 2 obesity (severe overweight)
    BMI > 40 – Grade 3 obesity (massive/morbid obesity).

  • Important Legal Message

    You may have heard about several companies offering "Free Trial Memberships" then charging your credit card right away or never letting you "opt out" of their program. This is unscrupulous and illegal.

    We do not do that, and have never done it. In fact, we offer our trial memberships only through the Paypal Payment system.

    With Paypal:

    1. We do not have access to your credit card info.

    2. You have total control over when you want to cancel right in your Paypal account.

    We hope this helps alleviate any fears you may have about trying our program.
