Rinse and repeat and the cycle continues. These sobering high figures of dieter's shows us that we are all well aware that we need to lose some weight yet each year we continue to get fatter than the year before. Diets actually make you gain weight in the long term and that is becoming ever more evident in the obesity epidemic that is plaguing this fast food, minimal exercise generation. Did you know that stadium seats have to be widened to accommodate the increase in peoples expanding, ahem...girth? It shows that we are becoming a larger nation (and not in a good way) of people than we ever have before and this is in the past 20 years alone. Our children are suffering from obesity related conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. A group of 70 obese American children from the ages of 6 to 19 were subjected to a battery of tests to examine the effect that a diet high in fat had on their young body's. The results were eye opening. All suffered from high cholesterol and all were within the high risk categ
ory of having cardiovascular disease and heart failure of which some subjects were already exhibiting symptoms of. Among some of the tests was the measurement of plaque buildup of the carotid arteries. These are the arteries that are located on either side of the neck which supply precious blood and oxygen to the face and brain. The shocking discovery is that these youngsters had the artery age of a person in their 40's. That means that their arteries and internal age was more than twice that of their chronological age, as doctors say "you're only as young as your arteries".

Frightening isn't it? Children are literally being robbed of a long, healthy life simply by what they are eating. Because children learn what they eat from their parents it's vitally important that we teach them good eating habits based upon our example. So, I'm glad you are here, but let's make this the last program you do. Get off the dieting treadmill that has kept you overweight and under fit for too long. Stay away from the pills, powders and potions that go against your body's natural balance and get back to basics. Look at it this way, if we get back to basics and eat and move like our slimmer ancestors did, the better off we all will be. My purpose is that by the end of this book you will have gained a greater understanding of how your body works. How and why you gained the weight and what you can do to drop pounds for good this time because believe it or not, why we gained the weight in the first place goes far beyond just overeating. Most programs throw a program at you addressing only the issue o
f the weight itself while we are going to delve a little deeper to get to the core of your weight gain. If you don't properly address and correct this issue from the start you will always be wondering why you can't lose weight and keep it off for good. Not anymore. My aim is to arm you with all the knowledge and tools you will need to drop the weight once and for all. I thank you for taking this journey. If you apply what you learn here you have no choice but to lose weight. But like with anything in life, you only get out what you put in.

I know you can do it. So let's get started. Why Do You Want To Lose Weight? Seems like an obvious question doesn't it? Scratch beneath the surface and you will find your true motivation that will keep you dedicated until you achieve your goal. What do you hope to get out of this program? Why do you want to lose weight? Is it simply because it was on your New Year's resolution list of goals to achieve? Is it for a reunion you'll be attending? Is it for a holiday? Is it to fit into your old clothes or perhaps a slinky little outfit you want to get into? I know it's difficult but these days it seems that you can't turn a magazine page or change a channel without seeing an emaciated, skinny teenager touted as being the image we should all aspire to. The media images we are fed are false ideals, this is certainly not how regular people look neither should we be forced into a mould to achieve it.
