Americans are getting fatter!

2/3 of Americans are overweight or obese.  The Average American is 23 pounds heavier than their ideal body weight.

Obesity has climbed dramatically in the last 20 years.

1/3 of Adults are obese today.  The amount of obese Americans was 23% in the late 1980's.  At the predicted rate, unless Americans change their eating habits the rate of obese Americans could be 50% by the 2030's.

Eating low carb/primal

Since I have changed my diet, I have heard from friends that low carb isn't healthy for you.  They also say you can't maintain this diet for long term. You can't give up those items for good.

Is being overweight or obese good for you?  I think that may be what people need to consider.  It is difficult to stay away from carbs.  We are pre-disposed to like sugar, and with all the added sugar in processed foods, there are food cravings that are hard to get away from.  I hope it is possible to maintain the low carb/primal lifestyle forever.

I truly think that if we can give up processed foods entirely we can become a much healthier nation and we can change the trend of obesity.
