[H793]How Many People Are Obese In America

by Farida Riyasat, Far

Everywhere, across the world, people are gaining weight. The obesity problem is reaching countries such as China, Japan and even Korea, where the population weight had never been a source of concern in the past. No one seems to be immune to the ever increasing waistline. As far as our species, what is causing us to be so fat? The truth is in just two words: poor nutrition. We need to place a higher emphasis on nutrition when it comes to what and how much we are eating. It is easy to see why obesity is on the rise when fast food restaurants are in almost every town, portion sizes continue to increase in size, and foods contain fat, sugar, and preservatives. An answer does exist, though it can only be found by learning about proper nutrition.
We are too focused today on the good taste of food that we forget that it is just a fuel for our body. Our body turns the food we eat into energy, in order to keep us moving each day. When there is a surplus of fuel, the body stores it as fat. When we gain weight, it is not our body getting revenge, it's just the way our body is designed to work. Aside from preventing starvation, fat basically provides heat to our body and insulation to our bones, internal organs and even to our muscles. Eating exorbitantly without following a daily exercise regime, causes our body to turn excess calories in to fat. With the vast amounts that people eat in today's world, fat builds up alarmingly quick.
To acheive overall balance and good health,proper nutrition is a must. You will not need to forget about your favorite foods, desserts, and special treats. You have to make sure you strike a careful balance, so that you don't gain too much weight. It is important that your diet contain enough fruits, vegetables, lean meats and nutrition supplements. You can reward yourself to a treat or desert, for sticking to your nutrition plan during the entire week. When it comes to a healthy weight remember as long as you exercise enough to burn off extra calories you can splurge once or twice a week.
If You Weigh Too Much
If you currently weigh too much and desire to shed those excess pounds, good nutrition paired with exercise is the only means to achieve it. A balanced diet means that you eat smaller amounts but more often. (for instance, eating six times every day) and regular intervals of exercise, thirty minutes long and three to five times a week, can help to ensure that the weight will come off. Unfortunately, there is no silver bullet for weight loss. You have to work at it. But you don't have to do it like on the infomercials, where they're all sweating and panting to death. If your nutrition is balanced, you can burn enough calories to lose weight with just a few walks around the block each day.

Everybody believes that the reason that people get fat is because they over-eat and don't exercise. While this may have been true several decades ago, it's something
else entirely today.Â While studying to become a doctor there were a number of factors that I became aware of and a very peculiar pattern emerged which contradicted many statements that have been made regarding being overweight. Perhaps you can remember the aerobic and fitness crazes back in the early 1980's more so than at any other time in modern history. You may also know that "nutritional science" reached an amazing level in research and discoveries from 1975 to the present. Yet, statistics from then till now have shot up first from just 5% of people in "civilized" countries (not just the United States) becoming labeled "OBESE."

You must consider that "medicine" has increased its knowledge considerably in the past 15 years alone by over 800%.Yet, just a few years later this Obesity stat jumped from 5% to 25% (which was unheard of and frightening to the general public at large -- no pun intended!) Most recently it was considered "accepted" that some 40% of people living in the United States are obese -- and shockingly this stat was just recently revised with estimates suggesting between 55%-62% of Americans alone are now categorized as obese!

Yet again, "WE" are considered not just as a nation, but as a planet to be an advanced race of humanity living into the 21st century - but people are getting FATTER and FATTER! (And despite all these amazing advances!)

What Is the Reason for this?

As I doctor, this made me very curious; as well as disturbed. All this is what caused me to study more intensely than anything else the growing "Problem of Obesity" (not just in America, but worldwide).

I noticed another very "bizarre pattern" emerge that proved eventually to lead me to the True Cause: Other nations (especially in Asia and the Orient) who began taking
in American exports of red meats and dairy began seeing fatter people and increases in their citizens' health disorders. Before a decade ago, people living in the Orient had less than 1% of the levels of heart disease, liver disorders, cancers, strokes, and even behavioral problems such as ADD and learning disabilities.

Today, those nations that accept regularly our imports show almost the same levels of these sickening illnesses and horrible diseases just like in the US. PLEASE NOTE: At present Japan REFUSES to accept these meat and dairy exports from the United States, and they STILL have less than 1% of these sicknesses and obese citizens! (Starting to get the picture?)

I then studied the ingredients to learn that almost ALL the things causing Oriental citizens to become as sick as American citizens were the so-called pesticides and preservatives that our FDA claims are to "protect us." Yet prior to their absorption into international populations, those peoples were by far SAFER, HEALTHIER, and far LESS LIKELY to develop the PLETHORA of diseases that plague Americans, due to these chemicals.
I went on to examine people living in the US who were NOT getting sick, only to discover a clear pattern as well. These people were not eating the foods at public grocery stores -- either entirely or less as often.
Further, people who once were sick and obese but who later conquered both obesity and disease were people who had "detoxified" their bodies of all this "chemical & harmful garbage" littering them -- put there with the permission of good ole 'Uncle Sammy.' I guess this gives an entirely new meaning to Uncle Sam's
well-known statement: Â "I Want You!"

I eventually discovered the PRECISE reason why 88% of all people are FAT and getting very, very SICK:

Let me reveal the Truth

People's bodies are creating large "fat-stores" (like the now extremely common and hideous "love handles") around the middle tummy area, and underneath their armpits, as well as the back of their legs, thighs and buttocks as a DIRECT DEFENSE against the poisonous "build-up" accumulating because of theseÂ TOXINS!
In other words, your body is creating a "Protection Layer" (in the form of FAT!) in order to keep YOU and the TOXINS *separated!* And if you get rid of these toxins, guess what happens: WITHOUT changing, modifying or lowering 1-calorie from your diet, you suddenly find yourself dropping large "CHUNKS" of fat and weight from your body!

To Sum up My results:

1. Today at least, the TRUE CAUSE of being fat and sick has only at most 12% being due to people over-eating, genetic predispositions, and not exercising. We KNOW this for fact because lifestyles actually improved, butÂ obesity JUMPED from about 5% to now above 60%, over the lastÂ several decades -- 12 times as much!!

2. TOXINS (whose main purpose it would seem is just to make youÂ fatter and sicker) have been DELIBERATELY & heavily laced intoÂ foods, drinks, and even in the public's water-supply.

And we know there is a correlation here simply because we can COMPARE our population to Asian populations, and see that at the exact same times we were giving them our foods, and insisting that they live more "like us," they too started to become very, very fat, and ruinously UNHEALTHY! AGAIN, PLEASE NOTE: At present Japan REFUSES to accept these meat and dairy exports from the United States, and they STILL have less than 1% of these sicknesses and obese citizens! (I hope this has sunk in by now!)Â If YOU decide arbitrarily to simply discard, ignore, or just convince yourself that what I've just told you here is anything but the absolute TRUTH, and then you equally risk your own life as you will no doubt continue to get FATTER and much, much SICKER & even UNHEALTHIER!

But, I didn't stop with my research! Instead, I worked very, very hard to develop a SOLUTION. Â Already it's worked nothing short of MIRACLES in other people's lives.
One Midwest woman shockingly weighed more than 500lbs, was told by no less than a dozen "doctors" she was lost and that she and her family should go ahead and prepare for her death. Yet TODAY after using what's inside my solution she weighs in the lower 140's lbs, is very, very healthy, and is expected to live at least another 40 years! Â I am so ANGRY at these other "doctors" who would rather chalk me up as a "quack" than bother to listen to the facts! -- or worse: Those that know better but keep it all "hush-hush!" just to make you sick on purpose so that they can make a BUCK off you!
But please for your sake, DON'T be 'snot-nose' fools like them! Find out more and you will get the body back that belongs to you for a better quality of life.
