How can you as an individual and at the same time with the help of your government fight obesity?

Answer 1

I believe it's not up to the government to make people healthy. It is up to the individual to stop supporting these fast food chains that serve unhealthy food. We need to start cooking more often, eating less, and moving around more. The government can't help us with this. It is the individual who must make the changes. Of course, in order to make changes, one must acknowledge that there is a problem. A lot of people lack the motivation it takes to lose weight. Some people just don't care, until they fall to the ground because of a heart attack. Some people have food issues. There are lots of things that cause obesity. People need to take their health seriously.

Answer 2

It's not the government's fault I'm the weight I am. The government did not just force me to eat a bowl of raisin bran and toasted Os with soy milk. It is though, a poor oversight on my part that I purchased the raisin bran and did not read the ingredients, only to find out after I open it and have a bowl or two that it has high fructose corn syrup in it. (I should write the company and complain.)

I think it is, in part, the food companies' fault. They do things like imply that their products are fully healthy, but contain things like the aforementioned high fructose corn syrup, fully or partially hydrogenated oils, other artificial stuff. And they market it towards kids. Things like Quaker oatmeal bars. I will not buy them as they do contain those ingredients. Or Nutri-Grain bars, that also market themselves as "healthy" but contain those ingredients. Besides, I can get much cheaper, all-natural granola bars and fruit and grain bars at Trader Joe's (a chain of low cost health food stores) for under $2, as opposed to at lesat $3 for the ohter ones. Do companies not think that people are smart enough to read labels? Well, some may not be if they're still eating that stuff.

Ultimately, what I decide to put into my mouth and eat is MY decsion. These descisions were important to me before my pregancny, they're even more important now that I know my baby's health is at stake.

detox is the best way to loose excess fat from ur body for ever
These new habits help you keep the bloat off and lose more weight.
It’s well known that today’s secret of most men and women for successful weight loss and maintenance is the Medifast
weight loss program.The first and best way to burn fat is to modify your current diet. There are three simple ways
you can begin to modify: reduce calories, reduce sodium, and reduce fat. For example, by substituting a glass of
water for a carbonated beverage, you can cut approximately 150 calories or more, depending on how much is consumed.
Even if it were fruit juice instead of water, you would still reduce calories by approximately 50 - 100..
what causes these unwanted gains in weight and bodyfat? There are three possible reasons this can happen:
(1) Eat late at night (2) Exceed your normal caloric intake (3) Lack of exercise or physical activity.
best way to speed up the metabolism is by increasing meal frequency. Instead of eating 2 - 3
meals per day, try eating 4 - 5 small meals per day, or 3 meals and 2 healthy snack meals.
