According to Paul Zimmet "This insidious, creeping pandemic of obesity is now engulfing the entire world. It's as big a threat as global warming and bird flu." This statement was recently made at the International Congress on Obesity which is held once every four years.Paul Zimmet is Foundation Director of the International Diabetes Institute, and Professor of Diabetes at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, at Deakin University, Victoria, Australia, and at the Graduate School of Public Health of the University of Pittsburgh, USA. He is also co-Chair of the IDF Task Force on Epidemiology.Acording to the World Health Organization, more than 1 billion adults are overweight with 300 million of them are obese.People have been getting fatter and fatter every year for the past 25 years.

The following are some nutritional guidelines you can use to make the mirror's reflection more to your liking: -This in NOT a diet plan! These ideas are ways to modify your every day eating habits. The effect is to, over time, change your body composition. This is NOT a quick fix. These are moderate, livable ways to feed yourself, and your family to optimize energy and a feeling of well being. It requires thoughtful planning and a general knowledge of the logic behind the nutrition.-Set a realistic goal in terms of weight loss/gain with your own body type in mind.-Weight loss/gain is not always a reliable indicator of progress.-Body fat/lean muscle mass analysis is helpful in setting realistic goals and assessing progress.-Your goal in the gym is to increase lean muscle mass (active tissue) while maintaining or reducing fat. Cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise is needed for overall fitness. For fat loss, cardio is best done in the morning on an empty stomach or last thing in the evening (not eating afterward). Cardio should be done at...more
