MOST people who want to lose weight are doing it wrong!

Let’s face it, most of us are overweight.   Sometimes, we may lose weight, but it is only a matter of time before we put it back on and sometimes are even heavier than before.  If this sounds like you, read on.   You are not alone.

The National Center for Health Statistics estimates that, for 2015-2016 in the U.S., 39.8% of adults aged 20 and over were obese, including 7.6% with severe obesity, and that another 31.8% were overweight. That means over 70% of the US adult population is either overweight or obese! *

The weight problem is getting worse every year!

  • From 1999–2000 through 2017–2018, the prevalence of obesity increased from 30.5% to 42.4%, and the prevalence of severe obesity increased from 4.7% to 9.2% *
  • Gender does not matter  *​
  • ​Age does - severe obesity was highest among adults aged 40-59 *

How do you know if you are overweight or obese?  

It is based on your Body Mass Index, or “BMI” for short.  

Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women.  *

You can calculate your BMI this way: Body mass index (BMI) is calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared, rounded to one decimal place. *

If your BMI is over 25, you are overweight, over 30, then you are obese. If it’s over 40, then you are severely obese. *

*  US Department of Health and Human Services

Why is being overweight such a HUGE problem?

According to the National Institutes of Health, obesity and overweight together are the second leading cause of preventable death in the United States, close behind tobacco use * 
*  Clinical guidelines on the identification, evaluation, and treatment of overweight and obesity in adults. Executive summary. National Institutes of Health, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, June 1998.
An estimated 300,000 deaths per year are due to the obesity epidemic. **

Weight Loss Drugs Are NOT the Answer

Our medical community puts people on medication to lose weight.  This is NOT a good way to lose weight. Not only can this medication be additive and comes with a long list of side-effects, but once people stop taking it, most put the weight back on.

This "roller coastering" of weight gain, then weight loss, then weight gain, then weight loss... is unhealthy.  Here's why.  When you diet and lose weight, you lose 3 things:  fat, muscle and water.  When you put that  weight back on, you only put on fat.  This means your lean-to-fat ratio changes, and the amount of muscle you have decreases.  The less muscle you have, the harder it is to lose weight.  So each time you go through these weight gain/weight loss fluctuations, it gets harder and harder to lose weight.

This is a very poor medical approach!
