- What is it and what can we do about it?
Unwanted weight gain is now a significant health concern for most Australians. Some researchers claim more than 50% of us are significantly overweight and around 20% of us are dangerously (morbidly) obese. When we look around and take a moment to observe ourselves these figures and what they indicate are all too obvious.
So how is it that in our modern world of super diets, exercise, sophisticated weight loss potions, reality TV shows, dieticians and personal trainers (all claiming to help us lose weight) the majority of us continue to struggle with unwanted weight gain?
Most of us of course understand (though some choose to ignore it for convenience) that consuming fast foods, snack foods, junk foods, diet foods and beverages laden with chemicals, artificial colourings, preservatives, flavour enhancers coupled with a sedentary lifestyle is a winning formula for weight gain, obesity and early death.
However why is it... that even when we consciously make the effort to eat well by choosing ‘fresh live food’, exercise regularly and do our best to avoid excesses, chemicals, alcohol and medications we still continue to gain weight? So the question becomes… >> What are we doing wrong?
