Don't super size it - or yourself!

I'm sure you've heard of the 2004 documentary Super Size Me starring Morgan Spurlock, an American filmmaker.  Spurlock's film follows a 30-day period during which he eats only McDonald's food.  As a result, the then-32-year-old Spurlock gained 24½ lbs., a 13% body mass increase, a cholesterol level of 230, and experienced  mood swings, sexual dysfunction and fat accumulation to his liver. It took him fourteen months to lose the weight gained from his experiment.  And that was just only 30 days.  Imagine what years of this would have done to his body. 

Is this to say that you should never eat fast food?  As with everything else, moderation is key.  However, if you find yourself eating fast food once a day, it's probably not going to get you the health and fitness results you want.  Like it or not, obesity truly is an epidemic in this country.  Two-thirds of U.S. adults are considered obese and twenty percent of our children are as well.  And the number keeps climbing year after year.  Adults who are obese are more likely to have children that are obese - over 80%.  It's no wonder more and more cases of type-2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, sleep deprivation, and depression are increasing.  Obesity is an epidemic that slowly kills.  It does not come on quick like cancer; it slowly builds and builds until one day it's too late. And even though you may not be considered obese, I guarantee a loved one close to you is. 

However, there is good news.  Unlike most diseases and illnesses, obesity does have a cure.  It's called proper nutrition and exercise.  And, to top it off, the cure can begin right now!  There's only one catch.  You have to decide to want the cure.  If you think you have time and decide to put off today what you can do tomorrow, or that you are immune to the effects of obesity, or even death, just ask yourself one question.  Who do you want to see go first, you or them?  Let the trend of obesity end with you - today.  Contact me at buckmanjeff@gmail.com.  Let's find a cure that works best for your time, money, and motivation.
