Do you remember all those obese people on the good spaceship Axiom in the movie WALL . E? Is that what we are going to look like in the future? Wow, that's a scary thought, but even more scary when the National Institute of Health reports that 65% of Americans are overweight or obese! Even more depressing when we learn that well over 90% of people who go on a diet never achieve permanent weight loss. "Houston...we have a problem!"
In the hunt for a solution to the nation's problem, people have been trying everything, and every day a new diet plan appears with 'the' answer.
Maybe it's time to try another diet...it at least shows that you're making an effort. All that calorie deprivation makes you feel that you've got control of the situation. The depression that follows failure is not far off. It's a cruel return for so much effort.
Drugs, are they the answer? When people get desperate they turn to anything. Doctors have been under increasing pressure to prescribe weight loss drugs to overweight and obese people.
Doctors are usually very careful indeed about what they prescribe to obese people, but they are under increasing pressure because people are either unwilling or not prepared to make the personal commitment that long-term weight loss requires.
All drugs have side-effects and weight loss drugs are no exception. For those that have to take them, they can be an added burden - not to be recommended.
It is depressing to see so many diet solutions offering 'fast weight loss'. The problem with fast weight loss is that it is accompanied not long afterwards by fast weight gain. There will never be any lasting result without commitment to personal change - and this takes real effort.
The only way to achieve real and lasting weight loss is to make a cast iron commitment to personal change. Behavior change is the answer and this only comes through recognizing bad behaviors and learning new habits, slim habits. Permanent weight loss is achievable, all it takes is effort.
