RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH BEING OVER WEIGHT
Today 34% of Americans are very overweight with 9 states having obesity rates above 30%. Obesity is having a Body Mass Index of over 30. Since 1980, obesity in adults over 20 has doubled and almost 20% of our children are overweight or obese with the trend increasing. Obesity is the second cause of preventable deaths only followed by smoking (nicotine use) It is predicted by 2012 that obesity will be the leading cause of preventable deaths in the US. Chronic diseases, associated with cardiovascular (heart attack and stroke), cancer (some types) and diabetes are all major leading causes of death in this country. In addition hypertension, gallbladder disease, osteoporosis and sleep problems are also associated with obesity. This is only a partial list of medical complications of obesity. The highest regions of the country for obesity are in the south, southeast, and the mid-western areas of the United States. This includes Florida!
Good nutrition and optimum weight affects everything in our lives and allows us to enjoy a good quality of life. Combined with exercise, you can see a dramatic increase in your health and decrease of chronic diseases associated with obesity. Getting fit is essential for you to do the things you want to do for the rest of your life.
Weight Loss Manual -Written By: Dr. Ross
Our weight loss challenge has been so popular, we are now offering for the first time "The Weight Loss Manual Home Edition". It is the same full manual that we use in our weight loss challenge classes and provides the same materials. It provides a step by step educational "how to" guide to lose weight permanently. Along with the written manual you also get a powerpoint presentation on DVD. The manual addresses protien, cancer related to obesity, clensing, metabolism, nutritional labeling, sugars, carbohydrates, fats, dietary fiber, stress, exercise,dining out and heart disease, meal plans, healthy snack list and more. You also get a health survey you can send back to the doctor for evaluation and recommendations. Most common risk factors and medical complications of obesity are addressed in this manual. We also provide you with an exercise program you can use in the gym, use at home or take to a trainer. You also get one-on-one nutrition, fitness and exercise advise via our "ask a question" section on this website.
