I’ve often wondered if the data collected in these studies and extrapolated into the future is a reliable way to predict the future? The UK Government is now suggesting that by 2050 over half the UK population will be clinically obese. What does that really mean? Is it meant to scare us into action? Is it meant to absolve them of any responsibility? Is it designed to encourage the pharmaceutical lobby to come up with solutions? So many questions and so few answers.

lets get on thing straight. I think the figures are probably an underestimate. Just look at the number of children, as young as 2 and 3 years old, who are already obese. We have to get back to what are the root causes and deal with them from within the family - after all who trusts what the Government tells us anymore.

It is all about personal responsibility and family values. There is a gene defect that causes people to put on weight but it is over used as an excuse to be obese.

Some simple rules (ok suggestions):

1. don’t eat highly processed food at every meal.

2. take more exercise - 10 minute walk every day is a good start.

3. avoid simple starch like the plague it is. By the way alcohol is classified as simple carbohydrate and is a real killer.

Enough then to be going on with. Seriously implement the above 3 ideas and the weight will fall off slowly and you’ll get your health back. You might even get your life back.
