"The number of people whose deaths are directly related to obesity has leapt by 35 per cent since 2003, according to new figures obtained by The Independent on Sunday...True.
Experts warn that these figures are the tip of the iceberg, as the majority of obesity-related deaths are not being recorded on death certificates...
Professor Alan Maryon-Davies, president of the UK's Faculty of Public Health, said: 'These figures add to the growing evidence that obesity is increasing at an alarming rate and is associated with a whole range of fatal conditions. While the numbers may partly reflect a growing awareness among doctors about obesity and its effects, I'm in no doubt that they also represent a real increase in obesity-related deaths. Obesity is not something to joke about; it is a huge public health problem, a burden on the NHS, and it shortens people's lives.'"
And until weight loss advice changes for the better, i.e., making weight loss possible, there will be no hope of succeeding.
And as long as we continue to pay for rescuing the calorically irresponsible, there will be no hope of succeeding.
Make weight loss possible.
Allow the overweight/obese to be responsible for the consequences of their actions.
Then there will be success.
