Between diet and lifestyle changes in the last 50 years, America has become a very unhealthy and overweight place. When people and public services address this subject, they generally mention that roughly one-third of Americans are obese, and that obesity is one of the deadliest killers in the United States. What they sometimes fail to mention is that an estimated 16% of children are obese, some 70% of those kids will grow up and remain obese and one in 15 children are so bad-off today that they need medical intervention such as gastric bypass to recover from their condition.
Though it may initially seem unrelated, this has had an interesting effect on the business world. In much the same way that America’s weight problem (and sudden societal awareness of it) has prompted fast food restaurants to begin offering healthier alternatives to standard menu items; the nation’s new health consciousness has changed the way we look at kids, even in the franchise business world. Our newest concern is child fitness. If you have a knack for working with kids and a passion for healthy living, then there are business opportunities perfect for you, and here are just a few of them.

You are dedicated, you are sincere and you are being set up for failure. The fact is that in diets do work and they can help you lose weight – that is IF they are set up correctly and IF you can keep these dangerous components out of the mix.
Killer #1 – Black Listed Foods
Have you ever been told that you cannot have something? Perhaps when you were a kid you were told that you cannot have the toy that is sitting within arms reach. If so, wasn’t that exactly what you thought of?
This is human nature, nothing becomes so desirable as that which is forbidden. And there is where out first diet killer comes on the scene. When you are told that you cannot have a particular food or food type you will of course want that food like never before. No sugar, candy becomes your equivalent of crack. No fat, all you see are visions of juicy steaks dancing in your head. Or worse yet, you are confined to only one food, say cabbage, all you see are steaks, and candy and ice cream.
Killer #2 – Slow And Steady Wins The Race
This is the conventional wisdom that has held people up for years. And it is a diet killer because when someone is finally ready to begin the battle with obesity the last thing they want to be told is that it will take years for them to get to where they want. The fact is that when obesity is a factor then losing weight rapidly is not only easy it is practically essential, both for health and motivation. Of course doctor supervision is advised, but there is no need to suffer through a measly pound or two of weight loss when far more is available for far less effort than the old eat less diets.
Killer #2 – No Pain No Gain
As if forbidden foods and slow progress weren’t enough to make a person stop dieting add to them the malady of suffering with hunger pangs.
This is a real nail in the coffin for most diets. The fact is that going on any diet is a change, and as you know well, our minds resist change. Throw in this stomach gurgling discomfort with a relentless barrage of hunger pangs and rest assured you will be visiting your local quickie mart for all things fattening and sweet. So in your quest for diets that lose weight the the last enemy is to avoid the specter of hunger.
