Why Am I Fat?
Why am I fat? That is a question so many of us ask ourselves over and over again. It is the question that plagues most of us all the time! Maybe we should try and answer that question before we look at ways to get rid of all that fat. Let's all take the challenge and lose weight, get rid of that fat.
Why am I fat? I suppose the easiest answer is fast food, but the reasons for the problem extend out to so much more. While it is true that the prevalence of fast food restaurants certainly doesn’t help, the problem is bigger than that.
In the movie "Super Size Me" Morgan Spurlock showed us with painful reality that fast food menus offer us a heaping helping of fat, cholesterol, and calories. If you are asking the question "Why Am I Fat?" this movie is highly recommend watching. If you are addicted to fast food, this movie is for you. You may very well change your mind about fast food after you seeing it!
Good news though, is that many of these restaurants are now offering health-conscious choices including salads, potatoes instead of French fries, yogurt, and grilled meats instead of fried meats. So with these items now included on their menu, why aren’t we losing weight? The answer lies within our choices. Those choices extend to our home life, and the choices we make there, as well.
Many people lead insane busy lives and they more often than not opt for pre-packaged foods that contain high amounts of salt, fat, and other unhealthy components that contribute toward weight gain. Our modern lifestyle also tends to be a mostly sedentary lifestyle. We mostly choose to watch our favorite television program after dinner rather than going out for a walk like people used to do decades ago.
Unfortunately we also teach our children this unhealthy lifestyle. When we were young, we couldn’t wait to get through dinner so we can go and play outside before the sun went down. We rode our bikes everywhere and only watched television when “The Brady Bunch” or “The Partridge Family” was on. No couch potatoes there!
These days we mostly find kids on the computer or in front of the TV with a video game controller in their hands. Kids know more about the story line on Desperate Housewives than many of their housewife mothers. They can tell you about all of the new products being offered through commercials they see in between their programs. The awful fact is that the average child watches more than 15 hours of television each and every week.
Caution, television as such is not bad! In fact, some programs are very good and helpful in making kids smarter. What we’re saying is that kids need to get outside more instead of sitting in front of the TV eating crisps and drinking sugar rich soda.
Statistics shows us that this is true. Fifteen percent of all children and teens are overweight - a number that has tripled since a previous study done in 1980! A whole generation that is going to be plagued by the question "Why Am I Fat?"
"Why am I fat?" Some people blame their excessive weight gain on slow metabolisms. In some cases, this might actually be true. However, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) has confirmed what no one really wants to face: we’re overweight because we simply eat too much of the wrong foods.
The amazing thing is, losing weight is actually quite simple – eat less, exercise more. But we’re resistant to that message, we want "magic." Mainly, it’s because we’re looking for a quick fix – an easy, painless way to drop pounds without sacrifice. After all, losing weight is just not supposed to be easy, now can it?
No, unfortunately it isn’t. You have to consider portion control, food choice, exercise, how much exercise, what kind of exercise, etc. But worrying about all of the specifics will do you little good. You need to get the big picture in mind first before worrying about the specifics.
If you are asking the question, "why am I fat?" What you need to do is lose those extra pounds. And there are many, many ways to go about that. But do not wait around for the next miracle diet; try some of the tried and true methods we’ll show you. It’s far less complex than you may think!
Never ask the question "Why Am I Fat?" again. A good program such as Fat Loss 4 Idiots™ makes it easy. All the work is done by the diet generator and all you need to do is follow the menu!
