What is Losing Weight Nature’s Way all about?
It is no big secret that after ‘make money online’ information, the #1
category of information that people are searching for on the internet is
weight loss related information.
Consequently, it is also no surprise that there are millions of dollars
being spent every day on advertising all sorts of diet plans (of widely
varying credibility and effectiveness), weight loss wonder pills and
equipment - all of which is supposed to help you lose weight - such as
exercise machines, multi-gyms etc.
single state where obesity was already
Now, there is only Colorado where there is not more than 20% of theadult population that is clinically obese. And yet, only eight years before
that, there wasn’t one single state where obesity was already above20%.
Could anybody need any more proof that obesity is tantamount to anepidemic?I’m not telling you this try to scare you, because if you are seriously
overweight or obese, you already know that you need to do somethingsooner rather than later. However, just realize that you are not alone in
your current predicament, but that you are probably unusual in seekingan answer for your problem.
Is the problem really as bad as it appears?
I would suspect that there are very few people who watch TV or read a
newspaper that are not already aware that the problem of obesity is
exploding on an international scale.
Consider the following charts taken from the ‘U.S. Obesity Trends 1985-
2007’ page of the ‘Centers for Disease Prevention and Control’ (CDC)
website.
Go back just 20 years from 2009 to 1989, and this is how the obesity
map of the USA appeared:
Although there were a handful of states for which there was no data
available, you can see that there was no state in the USA where more
than 14% of adults were obese.
What’s the difference between overweight and obese?
When someone is overweight, their weight exceeds the normal
standards for people of their height and age. However, because
everyone’s weight must include their bones, muscles, fat and water
content, it is possible for someone to be overweight without being
obese.
For example, a professional athlete or bodybuilder may well be
overweight, but because the majority of the ‘excess’ weight that they
are carrying is muscle tissue, they are not obese.
