Obesity In Teenagers - More Prevalent Than Ever Before
You see it almost every day, new and info about the weight problems in our country
. No other country in the world has as many issues with weight than the US. It's not just older people, it's not just people with desk jobs, its everyone from teenagers to elders to even children under the age of 12. Its truly a national epidemic. The first question many people have is how in the world did we get where we are right now? The answer, while pretty broad, is actually pretty easy. Over the last thirty years, food nutritionists and the food industry as a whole have embraced the idea of lowering our fat intake.This was a particular outcome of the information released by the authorities that promoted less egg consumption because of the cholesterol found in eggs. After that particular piece of info, physicians began to discover that when we consume fat, we have broader relative incidences of cholesterin problems. The reasonable decision: fat must be bad for you. And so, an entire generation has grown up with fat-free foods. A whole generation grew up believing that fat was what made us fat, clogged our arteries, and broadly speaking induced ill-health. So what did "they" do? They turned up the carbs in foods to make up for loss of taste where the fat had been removed.
The first thing you learn in Culinary School is that fat = flavor. So many people assume that without the fat you need to inject it with something else to get the flavor. Frankly, as a Chef, I don't think this is true. You can make a good meal with no crap, no fat, and very minimal carbs and still make it good tasting. Now, we have an entire generation of inexperienced people, who have because of their high carbohydrate food choices, become a commonwealth of obese adults. Never before has a nation recorded the kind of obesity problems this nation is facing now. Never before have we ever had so much, to have so little. These young individuals are seeing low self-esteem, weight related health problems, and whole host of emotional problems, thanks to this obesity issue. How can we try to help them correct this problem?
One of the best ways you can go about fast weight loss it to retrain your brain and your mouth. Right now when you think about spinach or a cheeseburger - your mind automatically chooses the cheeseburger because its what its used to not because it's the healthier choice.
