National Obesity Awareness Week – 10-16 January 2025

Posted by: melissafranklin - Posted on:

National Obesity Awareness Week is a national call to action – let’s make obesity a thing of the past, not a prediction for our future.

The National Obesity Forum knows that, if we each make relatively small changes in how we live our lives – eating more healthily, being more active – we can make a big difference to our health and wellbeing.

But obesity is not just an individual problem, it’s a national problem. The societal cost of obesity is expected to reach £50 billion by 2050. And so there is also an important role for Government in helping us all to make healthy changes to our lifestyles.

This website provides information and tools to help people make healthy choices to tackle or prevent obesity. We have worked with a wide range of partners and supporters to provide:

  • Healthy recipe ideas and nutrition advice
  • Exercise tips (including those that don’t need the use of an expensive gym!)
  • Weight loss advice and resources
  • Events and promotions
  • Information for children and families
  • Opportunities to get involved by running your own awareness raising event.

So, kick off 2014 right, and make the small changes to your lifestyles that will make a huge difference to your life!

JOIN US IN OUR NATIONAL NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION TO TURN OBESITY AROUND! WHAT WILL YOUR RESOLUTION BE?

National Obesity Awareness Week is organised on behalf of the National Obesity Forum, a charity of healthcare professionals committed to raising awareness of obesity and providing education and training on obesity management.
