The Obesity Epidemic - How To Avoid The Coming Whirlwind by Kathryn ONeill

Surprised? Examine the evidence:

>> We have more diets on the market than ever before, more diet food, more diet books, more diet information. And yet we’re BIGGER than ever before.

>> It’s a proven fact that diets make your body more efficient at fat storage so that when you go back to eating ‘normal’ food, you will actually GAIN weight.

>> Diets boast a dismal 2-5% success rate. Looking at it another way, that’s a 95% FAILURE rate.

I believe that diets actually make the problem WORSE:

#1 by slowing your metabolism

#2 by teaching us to value highly calorie dense food (the food that is restricted on diets – and what is restricted ALWAYS takes on more value so we want more of it)

#3 by teaching us that we can lose weight with a temporary quick-fix, not a lifestyle change.

Diets are one of the TOP reasons we’re in such a weight loss mess today – and yet they will stay as long as they make money.

#2) Lack of Exercise

Elevators, escalators, reduced gym classes in schools, television, video games, computers, microwaves, dishwashers, washing machines…

We’re a society of energy conservation. I love convenience as much as the next person but there also needs to be a balance. Compared to our ancestors, we’re putting out less energy and taking in more. It doesn’t take a genius to do the math.

#3) Too Much Misinformation

There’s so much weight loss MISinformation out there that people are doing MAJOR damage by following it.

It doesn’t matter if you have the best of intentions: if you eat according to WRONG information, you WON’T lose weight.

For example, if you believe you need 2500 calories a day to lose weight but the ACTUAL TRUTH is that you only need 1500 – you’re not going anywhere but up if you follow that belief.

Another great example of the misinformation out there is the belief that ‘a calorie is a calorie’. I guarantee you that your body will respond differently to 2000 calories of Mars Bars a day than it will to 2000 calories of fruits, veggies and lean protein. Convenient though this belief may be, it will wreak havoc if you set your weight loss plan by it.

So what can you do?

Well, first realize that you are NOT doomed to be overweight. You can lose weight and reclaim your naturally slim body, but it will involve changing your thinking and maybe even your lifestyle.

Stop dieting and start listening to your body. Observe what it’s telling you. Seek out information and then EVALUATE this information. Does it make sense? What does the evidence say?

You can lose weight in a world that is skewed against weight loss, but YOU have to make up your mind to do it. It won’t just fall on you. Figure out what works for you in weight loss and do it – for your health’s sake.
