Best Diet Plan to Lose Weight - Learn the Secrets to Success - Part 1

Why do so many people try to lose weight and fail? It seems like such a simple question, but if anyone had the absolute answer as to why and the solution to the answer, they'd be a billionaire! On my way to work this morning, a heard a staggering statistic that the annual cost of obesity and related health problems in California is over $40 billion. That's right, billion with a "B". Those of you that are aware of the current problems the California legislation is having trying to pass a budget, would know that by magically eliminating obesity overnight would solve the problem of balancing the budget without cutting anymore programs. If fact, you'd have plenty left over for education, after all the budget deficit is only $26 billion. The budget mess in California is a totally different topic, I only bring it up here to emphasize the magnitude of the obesity problem in California alone without even considering the rest of the USA or westernized cultures. It's a huge, huge problem (no pun intended)!

I'm going to do my best to answer this question and propose a solution in this multipart series of articles. As I see it, the problem has two major components. One is education and the other is motivation, the latter being the most important. Obviously, education is important because people have to know what to do before they can act on it. However, the motivation to do what you know you should is more important. If education was the only problem, then over weight and obesity would not exist in the health care profession or for anyone else with the knowledge of what to do, including this author! I confess I'm overweight and I'm just starting to do something about it now. However, I've known for a long time what I should do.

I'm going to attack the problem logically based upon several well established, scientific facts. It involves some very basic math, but it's easy to understand even for those math challenged individuals. If you're weight is remaining constant, then your Calories Eaten = Calories Used. If you're gaining weight, then your Calories Eaten > Calories Used. Finally, if you're losing weight, then your Calories Eaten

We started to learn about the "Calories Eaten" part of the equation using Bob as an example. We'll continue on with Bob and the "Calories Eaten" part of the equation in "Best Diet Plan to Lose Weight-Learn the Secrets to Success - Part 2". Until next time...
