Obese America: researchers predict 75pc overweight by 2015

Obese America: 75pc overweight by 2015 - Telegraph

Extract:

" More than three quarters of American adults will be overweight by 2015, a survey has found.

A further 41 per cent will be obese if people continue to gain weight at the current rate, according to the study by Johns Hopkins University.

The team of researchers based in Baltimore looked at national surveys of weight and behaviour as well as examining 20 studies in academic journals.

Their research, published in the Journal of Epidemiological Reviews, also predicted that obesity would soon become the leading preventable cause of death in the United States.

Dr Youfa Yang who led the study said: "Obesity is a public health crisis. If the rate of obesity and overweight continues at this pace, by 2015, 75 per cent of adults and nearly 24 per cent of US children and adolescents will be overweight or obese.

"Every group is steadily getting heavier."

May Beydoun, one of the researchers involved in the study, said: "Obesity is likely to continue to increase, and if nothing is done, it will soon become the leading preventable cause of death in the United States.""

The cause of the ever-increasing incidence of obesity is, of course, the advice that is given by the 'experts', who believe obesity to be caused by overeating. In consequence they advise people to eat less - to eat fewer calories than their bodies require. - Sadly, when obese people eat fewer calories than their bodies require, their weight tends to INCREASE, because their problem of fluid retention worsens with 'slimming', and it is fluid retention, not overeating, that is the main cause of overweight/obesity. - It is next door to impossible to become less obese by eating fewer calories - but it is extremely easy to lose weight fast, safely, reliably and at no cost, without hunger or exercise, simply by giving up eating salt and salty food, and making sure you eat plenty of fruit and fresh vegetables.

Lose weight by eating less salt! Go on! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!
