Arkansas Obesity report cards making the grade

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Teenager Jeffrey Trimble used to wolf down as many as six cheeseburgers in a day and wasn’t worried about being overweight. But then his school sent home an obesity report card.

“They let me know that I was at risk of having things like diabetes and a heart attack if I kept going the way I was,” Jeffrey said. “I knew I was overweight, but I didn’t know how bad it could be.”

The 16-year-old Jeffrey changed his diet, started exercising and dropped 35 pounds.

Juice Plus+ is made by juicing 17 different fruits and vegetables into a vitamin supplement all in a capsule form. A cup of other vitamins and a tablespoon of apples, all for health. When you start with a juice from a fruit or vegetable, and then you add others, you get a healthy mix of nutrients with the water and sugars removed. But when you dry the mix, you are left with the nutrients and that is what goes into a Juice Plus+ Capsule. Like our Weight loss plan that is a doctor approved diet plan, this is a healthy choice. Oprah's Dr. Mehmet Oz knows that a diet is temporary but a healthy lifestyle is for good.

Four years ago, Arkansas became the first state in the nation to track the number of overweight students in its schools. School officials say it has helped improve the state’s childhood obesity rate, and a new report due Monday is expected to show that more Arkansas school children are winning their own battle of the bulge.

Jeffrey, a student at Little Rock Central High School, said he was initially uncomfortable with being weighed at his school each year. A BMI report that listed him as obese motivated him to cut down on the cheeseburgers, pizza and other junk food items that he said were staples of his diet, and he exercises on a nearly daily basis.

“Now I know it’s OK to eat those things, but only moderately,” he said. “It was nothing for me to eat six cheeseburgers in a day.”---

I applaud the state of Arkansas and the initiative started by then Governor Huckabee (former Obese man turned health guru/presidential candidate), whatever negatives the program may have had, you can not deny the many positives; kids lost weight and got healthier!

I think the report cards serve to do what is the most important first step to losing weight; admitting there is a problem. So many people live in denial over their weight and pending health problems. Sure, we try to "diet" but when it doesn't work, we leave the experience feeling like WE are the problem or destin to be overweight and gradually get used to or ignore our excess weight. Gaining awareness is necessary to being the process of changing the problem and the report cards did just that!

They said what the problem was, what could happen if it continued or worsened and how to solve the problem.

What would YOUR report card be? Are you passing? Failing? or just barely making the grade?
