Weigh Less, Live Longer:
Strategies for successful weight loss
If you've struggled to lose weight, you're certainly in good company.
Two of every three Americans are overweight — a trend that's prompted
us to spend about $50 billion on
weight-loss products and services each year. More worrisome is the
growing number of people whose weight is endangering their health.
Since 1980, the prevalence of adults
who have obesity* has doubled, from about 15% to 30%. Excess weight
raises the risk of numerous health problems, including some of the
nation's leading killers — namely,
heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers. In fact, experts fear that
the rising obesity rates in today's children may mean the next
generation will have a shorter life span
than their parents.
Despite the many reports heralding discoveries of genes that cause
obesity, most people recognize that environmental and social factors
are largely to blame for Americans'
expanding girth. Of course, the easy availability of high-calorie
foods is part of the problem. Lack of regular exercise, combined with
long commutes to largely sedentary jobs, is
another. But there's a growing awareness that other factors, such as
increased stress and lack of adequate sleep, can wreak havoc with the
body's internal balancing system,
which can also contribute to weight gain.
This report explores the various reasons people gain weight and what
they can do to lose it. Many people have unrealistic expectations
about how much weight they need to lose.
Losing just small amounts of weight — about 10% of your body weight —
can lead to improvements in your health. The emphasis has shifted more
toward trying to eat a healthy
diet, rather than trying to become thin. Exercise is important, too.
Not only does exercise burn calories both while you're doing it and
afterward (by boosting your metabolic rate),
it also helps curb your appetite.
This report also provides details on the science behind many popular
weight-loss diets, as well as information on programs to help people
shed pounds, from organized self-help
programs to medically supervised, hospital-based services. You'll
learn which weight-loss supplement ingredients to avoid and which you
might (cautiously) consider trying.
Information on prescription drugs for weight loss is also included, as
well as descriptions and illustrations of the two most common
surgeries for weight loss. Finally, there's a
section on weight-loss maintenance that includes tips on keeping
weight off — which can be just as challenging as losing weight in the
first place.
