Obese People Friends

Here at the Center for Consumer Freedom, we've seen researchers twist themselves into pretzels to avoid admitting that personal responsibility is key to avoiding obesity. But today's example from USA Today just might take the cake (so to speak):

The more obese friends you have, the more likely you are to become obese, a new study suggests. This confirms previous research that gaining weight may be socially contagious.

The research also shows that if nothing changes significantly in the environment and culture in the USA, about 42% of adults will be obese in about 40 years and then the obesity rate will level off. ...

"We find that having four obese friends doubled people's chance of becoming obese compared to people with no obese friends," says Alison Hill, the study's lead author and a Harvard researcher.

Yes, Harvard University is now pushing the canard that obesity is contagious, like pink eye or the flu. Incredibly, a previous Harvard study published in 2007 found the exact same "results."

The ludicrous idea of obesity as a social contagion, of course, lends support to the notion that we should treat it as a “disease.” Does this mean we have an obesity plague? Should we quarantine obese people? Divide restaurants into "obese" and "non-obese" sections? Let people take "fat days" off from work? We're just spitballing here.

One of the study's researchers admits: "Of course, other lifestyle factors, such as diet and physical activity, have a huge impact on weight gain." But those factors could have easily been figured out by people who don't have access to huge research grants. Common sense doesn’t require a Ph.D.

Overweight Increase Sense of Smell

Hey dieters — if your weight-loss plan doesn’t seem to be working out, perhaps it is time to invest in some clothespins for your nose.

A new study published in the journal Chemical Senses has found that a heightened sense of smell is linked to being overweight, and researchers speculate this is because it makes food seem more appealing, which encourages people to eat more.

According to the Telegraph, the scientists set out to determine if feeling hungry or full had an impact on how our sense of smell works. The study found that people were more sensitive to the smell of food when they were full, instead of when they were famished. But when it came for other smells — the opposite was true. More research found that people with higher BMIs were more sensitive to food-related smells than participants with lower BMIs.

Dr Lorenzo Stafford, who works in the University of Portsmouth’s Department of Psychology, tested 64 participants between the ages of 18 and 49. He used the smell of cooking herbs and gradually diluted the odour until the participants were unable to detect the scent.

Dr. Stafford told the Telegraph that they have yet to figure out why people with higher BMIs have such a keen sense of food-related smell.

Reason for Obesity

Let me tell you about the current obesity rates in the UK. It is unexpectedly high as more than 30% of children are categorized as obese (having BMI>30), 24% of adults are near to being obese and 23% of women are obese. In this country more than 50% of people are overweight. Health analysts in the UK are advising for obesity control measures before it goes out of control.

A single person needs around 1500-2200kcal/day to remain fit and but an obese person can eat more than 3000kcal/day. This is the minimum energy intake by any obese adult. Let’s make more simple analysis on overweight people in the UK. The estimated total population of UK is 60,975,000 out of which about 30-35% population approximately is under overweight scanner, so total overweight population including children is 18,292,500(min). The total extra amount of kcal/day consumed by UK overweight people would be 18,292,500 x 1500 kcal = 27,438,750,000 kcal/day.

Guess what does it mean? There were 923 million hungry people in the world in 2007, an increase of 80 million since 1990, despite the fact that the world already produces enough food to feed everyone - 6 billion people - and could feed double - 12 billion people. Where is the extra amount of food? We are consuming, and overweight people are consuming. So, there is a strong need to make our population healthy, free from overweight and obesity problems.
I have listed some important weight loss tips below:

• Xenical (orlistat) - Xenical is an FDA approved prescription medicine for obesity treatment. It works in the digestive system of the body and reduces the fat adsorption there.

• Reduce eating habit –eating food at a fixed time daily is considered good for health, but it’s also better to eat when you are hungry. Eat when hunger will make you more depend on stomach rather than mind.

• Lifestyle habits- Going to your office by car, going school by bus and playing indoor games never help you lose weight. Minimize the use of luxury, as it plays an important role in boosting obesity. You should instead exercise daily for about 15-30 min. Obesity is considered more of a lifestyle problem than any medical condition. If you modify your lifestyle habits, obesity can easily go away.

• Eat healthy food instead of snacks like chocolates, biscuits and cake that contain huge amount of unsaturated fats. You should instead eat natural food like fruits, vegetables and milk. Avoid eating meat in large quantity, as it can increase your body fat content. You can take in minimum quantity.
