Your New Year's Weight Loss Resolution

Sure, you haven’t tried this program before but you no doubt aren’t a stranger to the dieting merry-go-round that has been plaguing your life up to this point. If you are here then there is a 98% likelihood that you are looking for yet another way to lose weight, sorry girls this figure is especially true for women. For the fellas on the other hand, it’s around the 60% mark, staggering but true. So, what does this mean? It means that between 60% and 98% of American adults will be on yet another diet at some stage during the New Year.

It’s all part and parcel of the New Year’s resolution checklist and weight loss is a high priority on it. That means that we will set our goals with full intention of dropping every last pound so that we can swan around at the beach in that two-piece bikini then after the first week there we are, staring down at the bowl of cabbage soup wondering what on earth what it was all for in the first place. Darn those New Year’s resolutions! So, there we are again, we yet again failed the weight loss resolution part of our goal but that’s ok because we’ll just write it down again for next year.

Rinse and repeat and the cycle continue. These sobering high figures of dieter’s shows us that we are all well aware that we need to lose some weight yet each year we continue to get fatter than the year before.

Diets actually make you gain weight in the long term and that is becoming ever more evident in the obesity epidemic that is plaguing this fast food, minimal exercise generation. Did you know that stadium seats have to be widened to accommodate the increase in peoples expanding, ahem…girth? It shows that we are becoming a larger nation (and not in a good way) of people than we ever have before, and this is in the past 20 years alone.  Our children are suffering from obesity related conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. 

A group of 70 obese American children from the ages of 6 to 19 were subjected to a battery of tests to examine the effect that a diet high in fat had on their young body’s.
