Big Picture Of Weight Loss

Big Picture Of Weight Loss

On Saturday 1/12/13 NBC Today show reported numbers, which were shocking to me…  They reported the number of women who were following some type of DIET were down from 34% in 1995, to only 21% today…  So had America over this period of time solved their great battle with weight?  Well, unfortunately that statement could not be any further from the truth…  So what did they say the reason for the drop?  Answer, a RELAXED attitude toward size…  The commentary made it sound like Americans were slowly giving up and just accepting getting larger… 

During the same week ABC reported a group of health clubs with a unique concept and three locations was starting to pop up…  Could this be the answer, to relaxed attitude toward size?  Hold, your horses, guess what their joining requirement is?  You have to be fifty pounds over-weight or more to be a member…  Is this a bad dream?

Well this is one American who is standing up and shouting it time to get “REAL UNCOMFIORTABLE”, with size…  Why should I take such a stand?  Though dieting numbers are down, there is an ALARMING rise in the numbers of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, myocardial infarction, gastro-intestinal disturbances, joint problems, and excuse the pun, the list is to LARGE to mention…

I’m the first to say diets don’t work, and have dedicated the last twenty-plus years explaining why…  If you are in need of weight loss, do not give up hope and certainly stop accepting it…  See the big picture, your weight loss approach needs to shift to lifestyle approach…  Food is not the problem, it’s the solution, and if your over-weight you ate your way into it, and have to eat your way out …   http://www.thefatlosscoach.com
