Sugar Cravings with The Atkins Diet

Obesity? Think Surgery
Posted by DarrenSome startling statistics emerged from a recent national survey which mentions that 55% of Americans are overweight, 22% are obese and as many as 8 million are morbidly obese. While these facts are extremely disturbing, morbid obesity is particularly dangerous. When a person’s body weight is 100 pounds more than the ideal body weight commensurate with his height, or, the body mass index (BMI) is 40 or higher – the person is considered morbidly obese. According to conventional theory, this was caused by overeating combined with lack of physical activity. But modern theory contributes morbid obesity to several factors including genetics, environmental, cultural, socioeconomic and psychological. With 400,000 annual deaths contributed to this reason alone, the vastness and seriousness of this problem can easily be fathomed. It can even result in a host of ailments including premature death.

There is quite sadly a surfeit of processed foods being consumed in the nation which have sugars present in them in various forms and carbohydrates that are processed to a high degree.
