Obesity

The U.S. Center for Disease Control has said that obesity is on the rise, with over 1/3 of Americans being obese. Americans today are fatter, more stressed out, and no more likely to get regular exercise than we were ten years ago. And yet, national surveys have shown that at any given time 25-50% of Americans are on some sort of diet (please see diet scams) and we spend more than 30 billion dollars each year on diet aids and remedies. It is estimated that 2/3 of people regain their lost weight within 3-5 years. Anyone who is over 20% over the normal weight for his/her age, sex, build, and height is considered obese. Perhaps more important is the percentage of fat in the body. For women, fat can account for as much as 25% of body weight, while 17% is a healthy percentage for men. Women’s bodies are designed to carry a higher proportion of fat tissue to ensure there is plenty of fuel for pregnancy and nursing, even if food is scarce.
