Obesity has now overtaken smoking as the world’s number one cause of avoidable sickness and premature death. Doctors predict that by the year 2030 half the British population will be seriously overweight. This menace cannot be overcome by crash dieting, for repeated medical studies have shown that after two years at least 95% of people regain every pound they’ve lost through their stringent, calorie-controlled dieting. Others become victims of the yo-yo syndrome, gaining more weight than they had before they adopted their Spartan regimes. Every year seems to bring a new slimming fad. One moment the craze is for the Hollywood diet; the next for the Atkins diet or Grapefruit-only diet. These regimes have only one thing in common – they don’t work. The only sure way to fitness, vitality and natural life time weight control is to adopt a healthy life style. This is best done by making a series of simple habit changes.
