Losing Weight and Fighting the Obesity Epidemic

Today I want to talk about obesity.

Obesity is a pretty big problem right now. It’s not just some small blip on the radar, it is pretty bad as a matter of fact. Let’s talk about fight obesity and losing weight.

I am going to share facts with you about obesity and weight gain but it can be pretty simple to lose weight when you just eat clean, food in the most natural and unprocessed state.

Don’t believe me? Here are some shocking numbers

In the last 16 years, obesity has increased at alarming rates. 39 states have seen an increase in obesity of between 50- 80%. WOW!
My state of Nebraska has gone up 80%.
Since 1995, obesity rates in Oklahoma, Alabama, and Tennessee have gone up the fastest.
Washington, D.C., Colorado, and Connecticut have seen obesity rise the least.
Ten years ago there were no states with an obesity rate above 24%, now 43 states have higher obesity rates than the highest in 2000.
Diabetes rates have increased in ten states by 200% in the past 15 years.
Hypertension has increased from 22 – 26% in the last 15 years.
In 1980 less than 50% of Americans were overweight; today that number is more than 65% and growing.
1/3 of all children today will eventually suffer from diabetes.
It is estimated that by 2020, half of all Americans will have chronic disease.

What is wrong with us when…

80% of preventable disease risk factors are influenced by positive behaviors like:

Regular exercise
Good nutritional habits
Limit alcohol consumption
Quit smoking

How can something so simple be so devastating? Well, it is not easy BUT IT IS POSSIBLE. Start making changes now!

Share the statistics with your loved ones.

I am a kick-ass business coach for health and wellness professionals, who are sick and tired of having businesses that do not attract the ideal client or when they do, they do not have a system to teach them. I help them define niche, story, backstory, a system, and a leak-free business sales funnel. I had my own health struggles that lead me to be a health coach and then organically became a biz coach after my struggles and mastered my own leak free business funnel system. I went from making 13k to 6 figures by year 3 and now I am proud to say, I rock a business that feeds my soul, my spirit, and my family.
