The Problem: Overweight and Obesity
Weight loss is a very real issue and struggle for many individuals. The problem of overweight and obesity today is now a national epidemic. Today in the United States, 67% of adults aged 20 years and over are overweight or obese. Of that figure, at least 34% are obese. At least 18% of children ages 12-19 are overweight, and 15% of children ages 6 – 11 years are overweight. Fully 11% of children ages 2-5 are overweight. These are astounding statistics, and unfortunately, are only getting worse.
We realize that weight and obesity are the results of negative eating habits, stress, and lifestyle patterns advanced and reinforced by massive marketing from the food industry, poor quality processed foods, further reinforced by a sedentary lifestyle. This condition now plagues millions of Americans from one end of the nation to the other, the result of which is multiple disease entities like cardiovascular disease, hypertension, stroke, cancer and diabetes.
No one wants to talk about the REAL causes of weight gain and obesity. Nor do they know the science based solutions to weight loss.
