I can't think of a diet plans that I hadn't tried during the many years that I spent living in an Obese body. To be honest, you have probably tried most of them too! Rarely do I meet an overweight person who hasn't been on one diet or another virtually their entire adult life--but regardless of that fact; they are overweight and still trying to solve the problem and lose the weight.

Maybe, just maybe with people on a diet most of the time, and obesity and overweight rates continuing to climb year after year--maybe just maybe we should start to look at the fact that ANY diet, ALL diets just maybe aren't the answer to losing wieght and keeping it off. After all, a diet is defined as the foods indicative to that specie, NOT a short term caloric restriction plan that we have come to think of them as.

What is indicative to our specie? You can't label it "Atkins", "Ornish" or any other "diet" name--it's healthful nutrition, what books like "YOU on a Diet" or "The Way to Eat" try to teach us--whole grains, lean meats/proteins, nuts, beans, fruits and vegetables.

And, what has been agreed upon that in order for anyone to lose weight and keep it off they must make permanent lifestyle changes. But, despite that Consumer Reports has studied the popular "diets" and gives us their run down on what works.

Bottom line, they said that for losing pounds, the Atkins diet was the winner. I know people like Jimmy Moore who have changed their livestyle and eat the low carb style and probably will forever, other people try it and really miss their potatoes, pasta and bread. So is there a way to have both? or dare I say, have your cake and eat it too--and still lose weight?

I think so! The FDA recently gave Phase 2, a white bean extract product the nod for weight loss effectiveness---now let me stress this is NOT a license to go hog wild at the buffet and eat carbs w/ reckless abandon, but if you take Phase 2 and eat a potato, have some pasta or enjoy the dinner roll--you can do knowing that your body will then be able to digest roughly 40% of those carbs as fiber rather than sugar--and for weight loss purposes, that's a very good thing! Think of it as nuetralizing some of the carbs you consume. Just remember, moderation is the key and most importantly making the changes that you create last you for the rest of, and best of your life!

Detox Diet: Not a Good Idea!

Experts warn of detox diet dangers--Fasting programs are getting more popular, but watch out for the risks!

Popular detox diets promise to flush poisons from your body, purge pounds of excess fat, clear your complexion and bolster your immune system.

But experts say there's little evidence that extreme regimens such as the Master Cleanse or Fruit Flush do anything more than lead to unpleasant, unhealthy side effects.

Still, these super-restrictive eating plans are hotter than ever, thanks to being linked to lanky celebrities including Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie. Beyonce Knowles attributed her 20-pound weight loss for the movie "Dreamgirls" to the Master Cleanse — a starvation diet whose adherents swallow nothing but a concoction of lemon juice mixed with maple syrup, water and cayenne pepper, as well as salt water and a laxative tea for 10 days.

The idea of detoxifying or purifying the body of harmful substances has been around for centuries and cycles back into popularity now and again. There are no hard numbers on how many people have tried the latest fashionable plans, much less stuck with them, but dozens of new do-it-yourself fasting books are glutting bookstore shelves.

Really, all these detox diets are is fasting,which may be beneficial for health purposes for a day or two are NOT a good idea or effective when it comes to lasting weight loss. Sure, you may drop a pound or few, but will you KEEP it off? That should be anyone's goal when going "on" any weight loss plan--to keep it off, not just to lose it but to keep it off!

So, now we know why Beyonce seems to go up and down so frequently in her weight, she is going "on" and "off" of something rather than changing her habits long term and adopting a more healthful lifestyle forever!

A better idea would be to eat a healthful diet, abstain from your "vices" or junk food habits, drink 1/2 your body weight in fluid ounces of water, get daily exercise and every few months do a cleansing program in addition to your healthful actions, not in place of them!

Diet Coke Plus; still a Minus!

Will Diet Coke Be the Same … With Vitamins?

It's the one addiction people will admit to. But will Diet Coke—now 25 years old—be the same if it comes with vitamins?

For most of the last century vice was defined by critic Alexander Woollcott's remark that everything he liked was "illegal, immoral or fattening." That, though, was before the invention of Diet Coke. "It's my one vice," says Amy Stensrud, a 46-year-old Seattle mother of two, who buys a 32-ounce container of Diet Coke at a 7-Eleven every morning, right after the gym. She has in effect defined vice upward as something "inconsistent with my values," which was never Woollcott's problem with bathtub gin.

But now her only sin is in danger of being transformed into a virtue, as Coke rolls out a new version of Diet Coke with added vitamins and minerals. Blue-capped bottles of Diet Coke Plus will begin showing up in stores this week, empty of calories but containing 10 to 15 percent of the daily requirement of niacin, zinc, magnesium and vitamins B6 and B12. It isn't meant to replace Diet Coke, now the third best-selling soft drink in America, after Coke Classic and Pepsi; it's just a part of Coke's plan to conquer the world by making so many kinds of soda that stores won't have room for anything else. Competition is especially fierce now in the $70 billion soft-drink market. For the first time in recent history, the amount of soda sold in the United States—more than 16 billion gallons—fell in 2005, and again in 2006. Diet Coke Plus, says John Sicher, publisher of Beverage Digest, stands at the convergence of two powerful trends: the rise of diet drinks (30 percent of the soda market, up from 25 percent in 2000) and the move toward "functional" products such as sports drinks. According to Coke spokesman Scott Williamson, Diet Coke Plus will be advertised with slogans that merely imply it's good for you ("Your best friend just got friendlier!") without making any health claims. To do otherwise, he said, "would reinforce the false notion that soft drinks are unhealthy to begin with."(Gosh, they wouldn't want to do that, would they? what? tell us the truth that soft drinks are unhealthy?!)

Diet Coke Plus grew out of what Williamson calls Coke's "ongoing dialogue" with its customers. The same process gave rise to the dozen or so permutations of Coke on the market, including Diet Coke in 1982, followed by Diet Cherry Coke and Diet Coke Cherry (the same thing), and Coca-Cola Zero, a no-cal drink for men who are put off by the feminine connotations of "diet." Diet Coke Plus tastes something like Diet Coke, but sweeter, because it contains both aspartame and a sweetener called acesulfame potassium. Its choice of added nutrients seems somewhat arbitrary and doesn't include the one substance that might arguably be useful, calcium. "What's the point of adding vitamins to a soft drink?" wonders nutritionist Marion Nestle of NYU. "You can take a multivitamin pill. You can even take it with a Diet Coke." (to learn about eating more fruits and vegetables click on the banner to your right that says recommended nutrition)

You might need to, if you're a Diet Coke fanatic like Victoria Beckham, the former Posh Spice, who drinks almost nothing else and claims to hate the taste of water. Diet Coke is the one addiction that public figures willingly own up to. It's the only beverage in the back of producer Harvey Weinstein's limo, and makes up one half the diet of Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden. The other half consists of peanuts. A 12-ounce can of Diet Coke, which may contain from a third to half the amount of caffeine in eight ounces of coffee, is the breakfast drink of choice for many college students. "I like that fake sugar taste," says Stanford sophomore Margot Markman, who usually has the first of four daily 16-ounce cups from her sorority's fountain at 8:15. It is one of the few things you can buy at a gas station that's also an object of connoisseurship. Kristen Scaletta, a senior at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., who recently cut back from about a gallon of Diet Coke a day to three quarts, drinks it only from cans, preferably at room temperature—a taste she formed as a child when she had to sneak it past her parents to drink in her bedroom. Other people insist on the flavor of Diet Coke from liter bottles, or McDonald's.

Taste aside, what makes Diet Coke so addictive? Caffeine produces physical dependence, as anyone who has suffered through the headaches of coffee withdrawal can testify. But addiction specialists pooh-pooh the idea that people can be "addicted" to soda, in the sense that it interferes with normal life. The other obvious point about it is that it has no calories. Not everyone who drinks it is trying to lose weight, but presumably none of them cares to subject her body to the 1,120 calories in eight cans a day of regular Coke. The role of diet sodas in weight loss is a contentious area of research. "Studies suggest that diet drinks can bump calories out of the diet short term," says Dr. David Katz, a public-health specialist at Yale, "but that people compensate over time by eating more sugar." An unpublished seven-year study by Sharon Fowler of the University of Texas found that the more diet sodas people drank, the more likely they were to be overweight—although that doesn't prove cause and effect. Fitness guru Richard Simmons estimates that 85 percent of the people who come to him to lose weight drink diet soda habitually.

People do worry about the health effects of diet soft drinks. There is some research to suggest that all colas, not diet ones in particular, may contribute to bone loss in women, but all the evidence isn't in yet. A new study found that the acid in sodas erodes tooth enamel (although full-sugar versions, and citrus flavors, are worse). As for artificial sweeteners, a study of the literature by Valerie Duffy of the University of Connecticut suggests they're safe. "They've all been through extensive testing," she says, "for acute toxicity, chronic toxicity, carcinogenic potential, effects on fertility, lactation, fetal development" and about six other things. To reach the FDA's "acceptable daily intake" of aspartame—which itself has a wide margin of safety—"you'd have to drink 18 cans of Diet Coke every day of your life," says Hud Englehart, a spokesman for aspartame's manufacturer, NutraSweet. (The actual figure, Duffy points out, varies with the person's weight.) "It's pretty hard to drink that much."

Mr. Englehart, meet Rich Underkofler, a 47-year-old from Euclid, Ohio. "I drink this stuff like crazy," Underkofler says. "I don't even go to restaurants that don't serve Diet Coke." Checking his refrigerator one night last week, he found two 12-packs. That would last him, he figured, a little more than a day.

Ok, it's a free country and Coca-Cola can come up with Diet Coke Plus, Diet Coke Junk, Diet Coke Aspartame Punch or any other flavor or mix they want but here's the real thing: It's unhealthy!

You may think that because it says "diet" on the can or in the ads that it will make you thinner, but if you think that you are wrong! One of my readers recently gave up her SIX diet soft drinks a day, replaced them with water, started eating a healthy breakfast instead of skipping it and having a diet soft drink--and she is down 24 pounds in only 4 weeks! NO other changes!

And for the record Mr. Williamson simply adding vitamins to it doesn't make it any less UNHEALTHY!

And, one other thought, your body is not lacking the lab created synthetic vitamins that Coca-Cola is lacing their aspartame punch (i.e. Diet Coke) with, your body is lacking apples, oranges, kiwi, peppers, tomato, spinach, kale--you know; real nutrition!

Diet shocker: More fruits & veggies=healthier teens!

Washington, May 7: When it comes to not piling on all those extra pounds, it seems that what helps teens stay slim and trim is eating more fruits and veggies, as well as spending less time in from of the idiot box.

Analyzing data of 4,414 children 12 to 19 years old from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted between 1999 and 2002, Dr Jennifer Foltz and her co-authors found that only 0.4 percent of adolescents meet all four obesity prevention objectives.

These four key Obesity Prevention behaviors are - eating five fruits and vegetables, spending less than two hours in front of the TV or computer, at least one hour of exercise and no sugar-sweetened drinks.

"Adolescence is when we start forming lifelong habits, so these results are not encouraging. Even still, small changes can completely reverse these data and adolescents can develop healthier lifelong habits that could prevent obesity," said Foltz, a pediatric fellow and an attending physician at the University of Rochester Medical Center.

On a more individual basis, the researchers found that 9 percent ate five or more daily servings of fruits and vegetables, 27 percent spent two or fewer hours in front of the TV or computer every day, 32 percent had an hour or more of daily physical activity, 14 percent of the teens had no sweetened beverages

Most importantly, 41 percent of the adolescents did not meet any of the prevention goals.

The majority (56 percent) of 4,414 adolescents in the survey ate one or less fruit or vegetable a day. Over time, they could add in an apple for a snack or have a salad in addition to a vegetable at dinner, and that would make a big difference, the researchers found.

Similarly, if the 22 percent of teens who spend five or more hours in front of a TV or computer traded some of that time for a walk or if the 43 percent who drink three or more servings of sweetened beverages switched to water, the lifelong impact could be huge.

"Clinicians and community leaders need to focus on these four, simple goals to get the message across to adolescents and families that small changes can reap lifelong benefits," Foltz said.

"Doctors should be talking to their patients about nutrition, physical activity and screen time, and the public health community should be promoting and increasing the availability of fruits and vegetables while decreasing consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages," she added.

This article is certainly interesting and right on the money. The Vice Busting Diet book, the ONLY book to be endorsed by both of Oprah's doctors--Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. David L. Katz, accurately names the biggest diet vices which are causing the Obesity Pandemic; Soft Drinks, Fast Food and TV!

Now it's just up to Americans to listen and solve the problem! (to learn about eating more fruits and vegetables click on the banner to your right that says recommended nutrition)

Shrek: He’s big, green and promoting junk food ---Advocacy group says ogre should be dropped from anti-obesity campaign

The Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood says the soon-to-open “Shrek the Third” has too many promotional ties with unhealthy foods to justify using Shrek as a health advocate.

Rarely do I meet an overweight person who hasn't been on one diet or another virtually their entire adult life--but regardless of that fact; they are overweight and still trying to solve the problem and lose the weight.

“There is an inherent conflict of interest between marketing junk food and promoting public health,” Susan Linn, the group’s director, wrote in a letter sent Wednesday to HHS Secretary Michael Leavitt.

You think?

“Surely Health and Human Services can find a better spokesperson for healthy living than a character who is a walking advertisement for McDonald’s, sugary cereals, cookies and candy,” said Linn, an instructor in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

HHS spokesman Bill Hall said the department had no intention of halting the public service ads, which were launched in February.

The ad campaign — which seeks to curtail childhood obesity — is a joint project of HHS, the Ad Council’s Coalition for Healthy Children (I will get to them in a minute!) and DreamWorks Animation SKG, creator of the three Shrek movies. It features ads in which Shrek, a stout and often clumsy ogre, and his fellow characters urge children to exercise at least an hour a day.

Let's face it, Shrek is certainly overweight and most likely would be considered morbidly obese if he were actually a living being. Shrek is also loyal, kind, protective, heroic--certainly these are qualities that we want in a campaign that will influence our children's behaviors but for this particular discussion we should keep in mind that we are talking about an "Anti-Obesity" campaign! To name Shrek as the spokesperson would sort of be like naming Rosie O'Donnell to the job, wouldn't it? She is funny, she is likeable (to some, some not so) but if we are considering who to have as the face of an "Anti-Obesity" campaign, it really doesn't make sense to have an Obese person OR cartoon character, or does it?

It makes perfect sense IF you are the Ad Council! To get the logic and reasoning behind having an Obese dude with ties to "Big Food" and "Big Drink" you have to understand WHO the Ad Council is and what they do. I don't know everything about them, but I can tell you of my experience hearing one of their mouthpieces talk at the Obesity Congress. This guy was hell bent on making sure that his CLIENTS, those who RUN ADS TO INFLUENCE OUR BUYING CHOICES are NOT forced to change their tactics, so they create these altruistic sounding foundations such as http://healthychildren.adcouncil.org/filelibrary/CoalitionProjectSummary.pdf and make it APPEAR that they are on the side of ENDING Obesity when what they really are all about is not hindering their clients ability to market the very crap to us that got us Obese in the first place without any government mandated change.

Sort of like the American Beverage Ass saying that soft drink makers are "VOLUNTARILY" taking soft drinks out of schools and are therefore the good guys--even though they refuse to simply refill the machines the next time they get serviced with healthier choices rather than Coke and Pepsi--they are going to get around to it in THREE years by 2010! To me, that is too little and WAY too late!

Shrek is going to have the same effect on Obesity that a smoking parent has when they tell their kids not to smoke, or a drinking parent has when they say to "Just say NO". Kids do what their role models do and for the HHS, the Ad Council’s Coalition for Healthy Children and DreamWorks Animation SKG, to have a fat guy who eats Happy Meals and drinks Coke telling kids to be healthier? They are going to do exactly what he does! Eat, drink and be FAT!

Thanks for nothing Ad Council.

Unhealthy Vices

Original Air Date: April 25, 2007

TV talk show host legend Larry King had a heart attack 19 years ago that changed his life. Author Julia Havey weighed 290 pounds and binged on ice cream and other fatty foods daily before she decided to turn her life around 12 years ago. Dr. Oz talks with Larry and Julia about kicking their unhealthy vices and taking care of their bodies.

Larry says the day he had his heart attack, he thought he was going to die. After he pulled through and had bypass surgery, he says he changed his lifestyle. "I stopped smoking and changed everything about the way I lived," Larry says.

In the same way kicking his smoking habit helped Larry's health improve, Julia says eliminating certain "vice foods" from her diet changed her life. After an evening of overindulging, Julia decided to stop eating ice cream altogether and says she started losing weight. From there, Julia eliminated other high-calorie and high-fat foods from her diet—"vice foods" that she says she couldn't eat in moderation.

After successfully losing 130 pounds and becoming Mrs. Missouri in a statewide beauty pageant, Julia says she decided to share her vice-busting diet secrets with others in her book The Vice-Busting Diet: A 12-Week Plan to Break Your Worst Food Habits and Change Your Life Forever.

Here are some of Julia's vice-busting diet rules:

• Pinpoint one item in your diet that has the highest calorie/fat content and stop eating it.
• One by one, stop eating foods you know you can't eat in moderation.
• Replace high-sugar beverages with water to suppress your appetite and eliminate calories.
• Eat a small dinner—you will have more energy.
• Walk in place or use an exercise machine while watching TV—just 30 minutes of exercise a day will improve your health.

New research is strengthening evidence that following mom’s admonition to eat your vegetables may be some of the best health advice around.

A large study of 500,000 American retirees has found that just ONE serving of fruit or vegetables a day may reduce the risk of developing head and neck cancer. (to learn about eating more fruits and vegetables click on the banner to your right that says recommended nutrition)

Numerous studies have demonstrated that diet plays a role in cancer. Cancer experts now believe that up to two-thirds of all cancers come from lifestyle factors such as smoking, diet and lack of exercise.

“It may not sound like news that vegetables protect from cancer, but there is actually some controversy in the literature. It is important that we do these large studies,” said Dr. Alan Kristal, associate head of the cancer prevention program at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.

Researchers at the National Cancer Institute queried men and women aged 50 and older about their diets, then followed participants for five years to record all diagnoses of head and neck cancer, which is the sixth-leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide.

Tobacco and alcohol use increase the risk of head and neck cancers, which affect the mouth, nose, sinuses and throat.

The study found eating six servings of fruits and vegetables per day per 1,000 calories cut the risk of head and neck cancer by 29 percent compared to eating one and a half servings. (to learn about eating more fruits and vegetables click on the banner to your right that says recommended nutrition)

The typical adult should consume around 2,000 calories a day.

“Increasing consumption by just one serving of fruits and vegetables per 1,000 calories per day was associated with a 6 percent reduction in head and neck cancer risk, said Neal Freedman, cancer prevention fellow at the NCI.

A second study of food consumption in more than 183,000 residents of California and Hawaii found that a diet high in flavonols might help reduce pancreatic cancer risk, especially in smokers.

Flavonols are common in plant-based foods but are found in highest concentrations in onions, apples, berries, kale and broccoli.

The study found that people who ate the largest amounts of flavonols had a 23 percent reduced risk of developing pancreatic cancer compared to those who ate the least. (to learn about eating more fruits and vegetables click on the banner to your right that says recommended nutrition)

Breaking news: A major change in the national diet is under way: Heart-damaging trans fat is rapidly disappearing from grocery aisles and restaurant food, too. But are its replacements really healthier?

It’s a tricky time for consumers, because the answer depends on the food — and some are losing trans fat only to have another artery clogger take its place, that old nemesis saturated fat.

“Right now the public has to be very careful ... if something says ‘trans-fat free,’ what else is in it?” warns Dr. Robert Eckel, past president of the American Heart Association.

Trans fat has become the new fall guy for bad nutrition. Chain restaurants are struggling to get it off the menu after New York City and Philadelphia required restaurants to phase it out by next year. Bills to restrict or ban trans fat in restaurants or school cafeterias have been introduced in at least 20 states.

At grocery stores, the government began forcing food labels to disclose the amount of trans fat in packaged foods last year, and the race was on to see which manufacturers could eliminate it first.

The irony: Americans eat about five times more saturated fat than trans fat. And while gram for gram, trans fat is considered somewhat more harmful than its cousin, too much of either greatly increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other ailments.

Trans fat is created when companies add hydrogen to liquid cooking oils to harden them for baking or for a longer shelf life, turning them into “partially hydrogenated oils.”

Fat options
There is no single substitute. So food chemists and chefs are taste testing their way through different cooking oils and fats — both naturally occurring ones and chemically modified ones — to find replacements that don’t alter each food’s taste or texture.

What are the options? There are some heart-healthier oils, called monounsaturated and polyunsaturated oils — such as olive, canola or soybean oils. Unlike trans and saturated fats, these liquid oils don’t raise levels of so-called bad cholesterol, or LDL cholesterol.

Frying chicken in canola or soybean oil instead of partially hydrogenated shortening is an easy switch. But you can’t make, say, a pie crust with olive oil. Industry is finding that the toughest foods to rid of trans fat are baked goods, such as pastries, cookies and pizza crusts. Hey, here's a thought; those are teh very foods that we do not NEED in our diets in ANY way, shape or form--so rather than continue to try to replace the transfats in them BUST them for your diet and be healthier all around!

Substituting animal fats, such as butter or lard, or tropical oils such as palm or coconut oil may keep the taste, but they are really high in saturated fat.

“You need to find a replacement for a solid fat that doesn’t have the health implications, and that’s the tougher battle,” says Susan Borra of the International Food Information Council. “We are changing the entire fatty acid profile of the food supply, and we’re not sure we know what it’s going to look like at the other end.”

Calculate your fat
And that’s where the concern comes in. Merely substituting saturated fat for the trans doesn’t give the food more bad fat altogether than before, but it doesn’t make it a healthy choice either, Eckel explains.

So the heart association is beginning a major campaign to teach consumers about the different fats and how to tell what foods they’re in. (It’s partly funded by a 2005 court settlement in which McDonald’s was accused of being too slow to remove trans fat.)

How much fat is too much? Federal guidelines say between 25 percent and 35 percent of total daily calories should come from fats, but the bad fats should make up only a fraction of that. The heart association says less than 7 percent of total calories should be saturated fat — the average American gets about 11 percent now. Trans fat should be less than 1 percent of calories, half today’s average.

A centerpiece of the heart campaign is a Web-based calculator so consumers don’t have to do that math. It tallies just how many grams of fat people of different ages and exercise habits can fit into a day, with lists of foods that fit the bill.

Anyone who feels like letting Shelley Rosen, the Senior Director of Eat Smart. Be Active. @ McDonalds know that we aren't sheep and won't blindly follow them down the saturated fat paved road to an early death, email shelley.rosen@mcd.com

Poorly managed type 2 diabetes costs the U.S. health system an extra $22.9 billion a year in direct medical costs to treat heart, eye, kidney and other serious health problems associated with the disease, diabetes groups reported on Tuesday.

Annual health costs for a type 2 diabetic are three times that of the average American without diagnosed diabetes, according to a new report called State of Diabetes Complications in America.

"It is a pretty significant wake-up call for people, or should be. It really points out the importance of managing the disease," said Willard Manning, a health economist at the University of Chicago who worked on the report.

About 20.8 million Americans have diabetes, which causes about 5 percent of all deaths globally each year.

Most have type 2, or adult-onset diabetes, in which the body loses its ability to use insulin.

Obesity and lack of exercise are linked with type 2 diabetes, which can cause blindness, heart disease, stroke, chronic kidney disease and foot problems that can require amputations.

OK, did you get that tiny little fact; that Obesity is linked to type 2 diabetes?! So much so that Diabesity is now a word in the English language. "Hand in hand with the obesity rates is a rocketing rate of diabetes. In America, they are even coining a new word for it: diabesity."[Guardian, 10 May 2003]

So much so that overweight kids are getting it and that is why we call it type 2; it used to be known as "adult onset" diabetes.

So much so that the problem can't be ignored. (to learn about eating more fruits and vegetables click on the banner to your right that says recommended nutrition)

When I have fresh and useful product, I get apple with my convenient and inexpensive meal, juice of one many way but only one way to add more fruits and vegetables to add more nutrition to your Dr Oz diet, and the sugar and water are removed through a drying process that leaves you with the healthy nutrients you need!

I can't think of a diet plans that I hadn't tried during the many years that I spent living in an Obese body. To be honest, you have probably tried most of them too! Rarely do I meet an overweight person who hasn't been on one diet or another virtually their entire adult life--but regardless of that fact; they are overweight and still trying to solve the problem and lose the weight.

They found the proportion of the severely obese was 50 percent higher in 2005 than it had been in 2000 — a startling rate of growth.

“The proportion of people at the high end of the weight scale continues to increase at a brisk rate despite increased public attention on the risks of obesity and the increased use of drastic weight loss strategies such as bariatric surgery,” said Roland Sturm, an economist at Rand Corporation, a nonprofit research institute.

“The explosion in the use of bariatric (weight-loss) surgery has made no noticeable dent in the trend of morbid obesity,” Sturm added in a statement.

The researchers found that based on self-reported height and weight, which tends to underestimate the weight part, 3 percent of Americans are already severely obese — defined as having a body mass index of 40 or higher.

Body mass index is calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by the square of a person’s height in meters. The researchers, whose report will be published later this year in the journal Public Health, found that the proportion of Americans with a BMI of 30 or more increased by 24 percent between 2000 and 2005.

The proportion of people with a BMI of 40 or more increased by 50 percent and the proportion of Americans with a BMI of 50 or more increased by 75 percent.

The number of bariatric procedures, which include stomach stapling and stomach bypass surgery, rose to an estimated 200,000 in 2006 from 13,000 in 1998.

The increase in stapling and bypass surgery is alarming for many reasons, perhaps most concerning is the fact that it doesn't actually SOLVE the Obesity crisis!

I received an email recently from a woman who had undergone bypass surgery a few weeks prior, in it she said "Please help me, I do not think that my gastric bypass surgery is going to work; I can't keep my Dairy Queen Blizzard down!"

Clearly, or at least it is clear to me, that her problem was and is NOT that her "stomach was staple deficient", but rather that her diet routinely includes eating Blizzards! I am going on the record as saying she did NOT need Gastric Bypass but rather needed (and needs) to BUST her VICE of consuming Dairy Queen Blizzards or DQ ANYTHING for that matter!

If Obesity rates continue to soar at the 50% rate that we realized in the past two years, it will not be long until Morbid Obesity is the norm and fighting it bankrupts our already fragile economy.

With that said, I have been cyber-fighting with a person via email. They are arguing very passionately that I am an idiot, that soft drinks, fast food and other junk are NOT why our nation/world is facing this pandemic of Obesity but rather lazy, undisiplined people who won't take responsibility for their own actions.

I can't disagree strongly enough. I think when Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Kraft, Keebler, Pepsi, Rally's, Dairy Queen, Mars, coerce (to compel to an act or choice ) the unsuspecting population into buying and eating their products through BILLIONS of dollars of advertisments which do not depict the reality.
