Facts About Being Overweight - Overweight Facts You Should Know!
Posted by Xania C Hughes in Diet Plans
Facts about being overweight are uncomfortable for people like me who know that they have a problem but just don’t know what to do about it. Unfortunately, being overweight just a few kilos can impact our health and well being. I personally have reached the point where I just have to do something about my problem.The reason? The latest facts about being overweight are absolutely frightening!.
So what are the facts about being overweight that should be causing us so much concern? To share the facts that have really worried me I thought I would list them here:
1. Researchers have estimated that 64% of the population of the US are overweight or obese
2. 48 percent of people in Europe are overweight
3. Officially, 27% of the American population is obese
4. 325,000 deaths each year are directly related to obesity
5. Costs associated with obesity treatments were estimated at approximately $75 billion dollars in 2003.
6. 300 million people worldwide are obese
7. 750 million people worldwide are overweight
8. Revenue in the weight loss niche is expected to reach $61 billion dollars in 2008 alone
It funny about what finally hits home! For me it is the last fact on my list above. I know I’m nearly fifty pounds overweight and I certainly am the first to admit I don’t exercise anywhere near enough! If I want to grow old and stay healthy and happy, I need to do something about my weight loss now, before it’s too late!
Apart from researching the facts about being overweight, I also looked into the latest weight loss trends. Researchers have shown that best weight loss occurs with a balanced , healthy diet and simple but regular exercise. People who stick to a plan on these lines lose weight and maintain the weight loss more successfully than people using any other method.
There are some other facts I discovered as well:
* Weight loss is difficult to maintain when it is achieved using diet pills
* You usually only lose excess water on Hollywood style fad diets. Unfortunately, the water quickly returns once you return to eating properly again.
* Expensive pre packaged food only benefits the companies who make them.(you need a diet where you are responsible for knowing what you are eating and how to prepare it)
* It is possible to build muscle using gym equipment that is expensive, but in reality, it is a proper eating plan that removes the fat located above muscle tissue.
Really when you look at the facts, overweight is quite daunting, isn’t it?In fact, not knowing quite what to do is enough for many people to just “give up” before they start and make no lifestyle changes at all. Trouble is, good health depends on us changing our thinking to ensure happy, healthy and long lives.
Fact is, now I know about the risks my lifestyle is exposing me to I’m going to make a commitment to a healthy weight loss program as soon as possible. For me personally, the facts about being overweight have got through at last, and are motivating me to take this opportunity to turn my health around and ensure I will be around to see my grandchildren!
Although finding a way to lose weight can be difficult, there are inexpensive and scientifically based safe weight loss plans available on line to download and make a start straight away. Unlike diet pills, exercise machines and magic diets, these programs are relatively inexpensive and provide the tools needed to lose weight safely, effectively and in the privacy of your own home.

I actually laughed at because it was so bad.
Here’s my reaction:
"Buy her clothes that are too small “Oh,” you might say, “I thought you were a size 8. Isn’t that what you were last summer?” The onus is now on her to do something about it".
- No, actually, the onus is on you to return the fucking shirt and stop trying to control her wardrobe. The only onus on her is to kick you out of her fucking house.
"Set out on your own weight loss plan
By referencing yourself in any plans to lose weight, you’re also subtly telling her that you’re not the only one who might benefit from a diet"
- way to be passive aggressive, baby. Wait. Lemme just get comfy on the couch with my popcorn while I watch your manly man bits straining and sweating and grunting. Ooooo, that’s nice. Now lemme see ya eat those carrots. Awww, you’re so cute!
"Serve her unsatisfactory portions
If you feel as though you’re starving yourself in the process, remember you can always go back for more when she’s not looking".
- Because you’re an asshole with double standards, and you certainly don’t want to feel her pain, just give her some
"Ask her to wear an old dress
Follow it up by telling her how good she looked in those days, and maybe she’ll make it her mission to get back to that size"
- Or maybe she’ll make it her mission to shut you up by getting rid of you, since you clearly don’t care about her.
Sabotage her chair
Sometimes as men we have to get downright nefarious to get what we want.
- Of course when women do that, we call the cops or sue them, because they’re dangerously manipulative bitches, but in our case, we’re not assholes, we’re just exercising creative morality

She has an unhealthy obsession with poo IMO. She does have some good ideas but is too extreme about her diet plans.
