Obesity is a physical state that refers to excessive
body fat. Chances are you have experienced the frustrations of dieting at least
once in your life, if you have problems with your weight. Close to a hundred
million Americans go on a weight loss diet in any given year and up to
ninety-five percent of them regain the weight they lose within five years.
Worse, a third will gain back more weight than they lost, in danger of
"yo-yoing" from one popular diet to another. The conventional
approach to weight problems, focusing on fad weight loss diets or weight loss
drugs, may leave you with just as much weight and the additional burden of ill
health.
Today, an estimated sixty-five percent of all
American adults are obese or overweight. Our culture obsesses about staying
thin even as we grow fatter, but this isn’t about appearances. Obesity is known
to be a precursor to many debilitating health conditions such as cancer, heart
disease, diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis, and gallbladder disease.
Obesity contributes to as many as 375,000 deaths every year. In addition, the
public health costs for obesity are staggering. According to researchers at
Harvard University, obesity is a factor in 19% of all cases of heart disease
with annual health costs estimated at 30 billion dollars; it’s also a factor in
57% of diabetes cases, with health costs of $9 billion per year.
Set Realistic Goals:
No doubt you have fallen for one or more of the
weight loss diet schemes over the years, promising quick and painless weight loss.
Many of these quick weight loss diet programs undermine your health, cause
physical discomfort, flatulence, and ultimately lead to disappointment when you
start regaining weight, shortly after losing it. Fad or quick weight loss diet
programs generally overstress one type of food. They contravene the fundamental
principle of good nutrition - to remain healthy one must consume a balanced
diet, which includes a variety of foods. Safe, healthy, and permanent weight
reduction is what’s truly lost among the thousands of popular diet schemes.
Some of the weight loss diet schemes reign supreme
briefly, only to fade out. While some wane from popularity due to being
unproductive or unsafe, some simply lose the public's curiosity. Examples of
such fad diets include the South Beach Diet, Atkins diet, the Grapefruit diet,
Cabbage Soup diet, the Rotation diet, Beverly Hills diet, Breatharian, Ornish
Plan – the list goes on and on. These fad diets advocate a specific technique
(such as eliminating a certain food, or eating only certain combinations of
foods) in conjunction with the basic idea that the body makes up the difference
in energy by breaking down and utilizing some part of itself, essentially
converting matter into energy. This self-cannibalism, or catabolism as it is
referred, typically starts with breakdown of stored body fat.
