Overview:
Obesity is a
physical condition characterized by an excess of body fat.
If you have
weight issues, you have probably experienced the hardships of dieting at least
once in your life.
In any given
year, about a hundred million Americans embark on a weight-loss regimen, with
up to 95% of them regaining the weight they lost within five years.
Worse, a
third of those who lose weight will gain it back, putting them at risk of
"yo-yoing" from one fashionable diet to the next.
The
traditional approach to weight loss, which focuses on fad diets or weight loss
medicines, may leave you with the same amount of weight and the added burden of
illness.
Sixty-five
percent of all adults in the United States are fat or overweight today.
Our culture is obsessed with keeping skinny as we gain weight, but this doesn't about look.
Obesity is linked to a number of chronic diseases, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis, and gallbladder disease. Obesity is responsible for up to 375,000 deaths per year.
Furthermore, the public health expenditures of obesity are enormous. Obesity is a role in 19% of all cases of heart disease, with yearly health expenditures estimated at $30 billion, according to Harvard University researchers; it's also a factor in 57 percent of diabetes cases, with annual health costs estimated at $9 billion.
Set Realistic Goals:
Over the years, you've probably fallen for one or more weight reduction diet regimens that promised rapid and painless weight loss. Many of these rapid weight reduction diet plans are harmful to your health, create physical discomfort and flatulence, and eventually lead to despair when you begin to gain weight after losing it.
In most fad or rapid weight reduction diets, one type of food is
overemphasized. They go against the fundamental idea of proper nutrition, which
states that in order to be healthy, one must eat a well-balanced diet that
contains a range of foods.
What's
genuinely lost among the multitudes of popular diet programs is safe, healthy,
and long-term weight loss.
Some weight
reduction diet plans are successful for a short time and then fade away.
While some
lose popularity as a result of being ineffective or dangerous, others just lose
the public's interest.
The South
Beach Diet, Atkins Diet, Grapefruit Diet, Cabbage Soup Diet, Rotation Diet,
Beverly Hills Diet, Breatharian Diet, Ornish Plan, and so on are only a few
examples of fad diets.
