Weight Loss In America

Fast food can be found around every corner in America, and over 500,000 fast food restaurants are located in the U.S.A. They are convenient and cheap, especially when in a hurry. However, most Americans do not care what are in the burgers

Throughout the years, many people have developed the desire to lose weight, and eat healthier. For a majority people, if you work out and stick to a healthy diet, you will lose the weight over a certain period of time. Unlike most, some people who are overweight or obese, struggle to lose weight. Along with the desire to lose weight, in America, a new show came to television. The show I am referring to is The Biggest Loser. The show made its way to television on October 19, 2004. The show is a competition for people who are obese, to get help from professional trainers. At the end of the season, the contestant that loses the most weight wins $250,000. In a particular season of The Biggest Loser, back in 2014, a young woman lost 260lbs and weighed in at 105lbs, by the end of the season. Many people started to make comments about her weight loss, saying, “She looks anorexic.” “She lost too much weight.”, “She took steroids.” Not long after the incident, an article was written about the debate, of how Rachel lost the weight.

When it comes to the diet exercise is neither encouraged or discouraged. It is prefered to go out for a walk and not do

A lot of today's obese American's are not obese because they eat too much, but because they move too little. Being physically active allows people to eat enough food to regain the nutrients they have used instead of putting more on top of that of what they have not used.

The meals served here are typical American fast foods like burgers, hotdogs, milkshakes, sandwiches, cheesy fries etc.

It's no surprise when you ask someone if they could change anything about themselves most people would say a physical trait like they wish they had a better nose, or bigger lips but, the vast majority of people say they wish they could lose some weight. Considering America is the most obese country in the world many people are trying to lose the weight in hopes of finally getting the “Spring break body” they've always aspired for. But there are two different ways to look at losing weight, a healthy way and an fast way.

"Typical fast food meals consist of hamburgers or cheeseburgers, french fries, and sugar-sweetened sodas. They are frequently 'super sized' at very little additional cost, encouraging children and

Long term weigh loss and maintenance is important. You want to lose weight and at the same time eating healthy foods. You also want to lose weight and maintain it. This should be your whole focus as a dieter. Any diet plan that is healthy must recommend exercising too. So don't forget to exercise and you don't have to go to the gym. You can do low intensity exercises in order to lose weight. For these reasons in this article, I recommend a different weight loss diet plan you can find on the link below. Personally, I don't recommend a high protein low carb diet

The nice thing about diet and exercise is that it isn't all or nothing. We all have lives. We all get incredibly busy from time to time, swamped with the responsibilities of life. And that is okay.

Exercise, or physical activity helps your body in many ways. For example, exercise helps control the weight of a human. It helps prevent people gaining unwanted weight and helps people who have unwanted weight to lose it. (mayoclinic.com) When we eat, we are taking in calories, and then when we exercise we burn off

There has been plenty of research done on why people are gaining weight and the most coming causes are food, high stress life, and lastly too sedentary lifestyle. We exercise 0-7 times a week, but we eat at least 20 times a week, then why majority of people focus on exercising first. Most of the people have their priorities mixed up and need to concentrate first on nutrition and healthy lifestyle and then exercising.

They do not want to go out and do anything because they do not have the energy for it and would rather just stay at home and continue to snack on food because that fast food never truly filled them up. What many people are unaware of is how easy it is to gain fat than it is to lose it. According to research, “A 155 pound man burns, on average, 1,800 calories and 132 pound woman burns, on average, 1,400 calories, this is before either of them does any type of activity” (Cutler, Glaeser, and Shapiro 99). One pound of fat is 3500 calories which some people can easily eat in one sitting, depending on how good their choice of food is and whether they can eat food in small proportions or not. A person's body burns calories all throughout the day and even while they are sleeping but depending on how many calories they take in during the day versus how many they burn throughout the day is the factor on whether or not their body beings to store all the extra calories. The body normally stores them as fat and over time that fat will continue to build if that person does not start burning those extra calories that they take in. The more fat a person has on them the more stress that their body has to deal with to function properly. First off, a person's joints in their lower body will compress due to the extra weight, this will begin to tighten surrounding muscles

The first argument as to why dieting is more effective for weight loss than exercise is that a good diet is better for overall weight control. A better diet quality has been associated with less weight gain over time and one study looked to compare changes in diet quality in overweight and obese adults during a weight loss intervention (O'brien et al. 2014). Groups consisting of a standard weight loss program, an enhanced version of the weight loss program, and a wait list control group were tested to see if their diet quality improved their weight loss. The results found that the basic weight loss program and the enhanced version of the weight loss program lost  significantly more

“Eat less, exercise more,” We’ve all heard the oversimplified motto of the health industry spouted off as a recipe for health and weight loss. Yet, for many that have attempted to follow this advice find that the results they experience don’t necessarily fall in line with what’s expected.

People are attracted to fast food restaurants because of convenience, cost, and company marketing techniques. “The average American makes about $24.57 per hour” (Campbell 1). The average Americans usually has to get gas or other things on their way home and $24.57 is not a lot to work with. “The average fast food meal is 5-7 dollars for a family sized portion” (AOL Savings Experiment Staff), which is affordable for the salary of the average person. “The average American works about 6.5 hours per day” (Isodore, Chris and Tami Luhby, CNN). With the average American working 6.5 hour per day at times it is difficult to get daily necessities done, so when a person is commuting home from work,
