Being overweight does not necessarily mean you are fat or obese. You may have more bone and muscle and fat total then is shown on the charts for your height and they will say you are "overweight". You have "above normal" weight. Perfectly okay in many cases depending on your bone structure etc. Obese means you have a SURPLUS of fat. The percentage has gone hay wire.Usually, when you are 30 pounds over the accepted weight for your height they say you are obese. Officially they use something called the Body Mass Index (BMI) to determine if a person is obese, and that word comes into play when they have a BMI over 30. Up until then you were just "FAT". A BMI over 40 is considered to be severely obese. Turns out a good percentage of obese people do not even know or even consider themselves obese, or that the word applies to them. Parents with obese children often do not recognize their child is OBESE.No one apparently wants to deal with OBESITY, it is reality, they say I am just "overweight." putting on a little fat. The percentage of the population that is obese rises almost every time I check for the latest figure. It is exploding and is what they call an epidemic. The following may have and be an assistance in correcting or getting your body back to ideal weight but did not in themselves cause you to become obese. Misconceptions as to cause.....
2. Sedentary life style 3. Eating too much 4. Taking in more calories then you burn 5. Eating saturated animal fat in quantity Since NONE of these is causing your obesity, changing or punishing yourself with any drastic changes in these WILL NOT fix your obesity Long Term.
You need to learn WHAT really causes Americans to become obese......Only then, can you fix it long term... We tell you all about what you need to know (for free) and (get this) we have NOTHING to sell..
