There’s a lot of truth to the old saying, “Slow and steady wins the race,” especially when it comes to weight loss. Just ask John Adamski.
When the 77-year-old Air Force Veteran stepped on the scale 10 months ago and saw he was over 300 pounds, he knew it was time to act.
But he didn’t jump into trendy diets, extreme food deprivation, or weight loss drugs. Instead, he reached out to the TeleMOVE! program at Milwaukee VA and started doing the work, little by little.
The result? He has lost 60 pounds, is no longer prediabetic, and has the energy and ability to be more mobile, despite chronic hip pain.
TeleMOVE! helps Veterans like John lose weight by teaching nutrition, portion control, and other healthy-eating strategies through telehealth.
