Have You Changed Your Diet? What Motivated You?
Obesity rates in the United States continue to climb. According to America's Health Rankings, in another ten years we'll be spending about $343 billion dollars on obesity and obesity-related illness. If something doesn't change, about 40% of the adult population will be obese (a BMI of 30 or more). That's not good news at all.We know what we're doing wrong. In general, we're eating too much food that isn't healthy and not exercising enough. The tough part is figuring what what will motivate a large segment of the population to eat less, eat better and move more. Maybe it would help to know what motivated people who have successfully changed their diets. If you've lost weight or changed your diet for any reason, let us know what motivated you.
