The number of obese Americans is on the rise once again, with obesity rates rising in 28 states over the past year.  This in despite of all the education campaigns about the obesity epidemic and the health risks associated with being overweight.

According to a report released Tuesday titled "F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America’s Future 2010," 38 states have obesity rates of more than 25 percent, and almost one-third of American children are considered obese

The annual "F as in Fat" report from the Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation included obesity rates by geographic area and race as well as studies on attitudes about obesity.

In 1991, no state in the country had obesity rates higher than 20 percent. Now, only one state — Colorado — has an adult obesity rate of less than 20 percent, barely sliding under the mark at 19.1 percent.

In the current report researchers found obesity rates in Louisiana, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Arkansas topped 30 percent of the population last year. Previously, only four other states had obesity rates as high as one in three adults obese — Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and West Virginia.

Campaigns to increase awareness have included first lady Michelle Obama’s "Let’s Move" initiative to reduce obesity within a generation, but no impact has been registered. Mrs. Obama’s spokesman did not return a request for comment.

Obesity is defined by body mass index (BMI), a measurement that relates a person’s weight to height. For adults, a BMI of 30 or above is considered obese. The definition varies for children according to age and sex, but a child is considered obese in the 95th percentile on the BMI chart.

"It tells us the degree to which we still have a problem," said Jeffrey Levi, executive director of the Trust for America’s Health, which writes the annual report with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

"This report shows that the country has taken bold steps to address the obesity crisis in recent years, but the nation’s response has yet to fully match the magnitude of the problem," Mr. Levi said. "Millions of Americans still face barriers — like the high cost of healthy foods and lack of access to safe places to be physically active — that make healthy choices challenging."

Losing weight can be a difficult task for most people.  Unfortunately, most of us weren’t born with amazing genetics and fast metabolisms.  The ongoing struggle to lose weight can be overwhelming and difficult to accomplish.

70% of weight loss depends on what you put in your mouth, so the first rule to abide by is to follow a calorie restricted diet and develop better eating habits.  If you add the following 8 tricks to your eating plan, you will be on your way to weight loss success!

• Wait 2 minutes.  Cravings will disappear after two minutes if you walk away and turn your attention elsewhere.
• Think about eating.  Don’t be distracted while eating or you will most likely consume more food.  Don’t watch TV, sit in front of the computer, drive etc.  Focus on what you are putting in your mouth and try to concentrate on nourishing your body.
• Don’t skip breakfast.  Start eating a filling breakfast, but one that’s lower in fat.  It will help you eat fewer calories throughout the day.Eat more fruits and veggies.  Fill most of your plate with fruit and vegetables for lunch and dinner.
• Drink more water.  A recent German study showed that drinking about two cups of cold water-no warmer than 72 degrees, uses up about 25 calories. Drink a liter a day and that’s five pounds a year.
• Go smaller.  Use a salad plate instead of a dinner plate.  Studies show that putting your portions on smaller dishes means you will end up eating less during a meal.
• Stop snacking.  Chew a strong flavored gum like cinnamon when you are more prone to grab a snack.  It will help curb your appetite.
• Increase your calcium.  Consuming 1,800 milligrams of calcium a day could block the absorption of about 80 calories.

Are you looking for some extra help to lose your unwanted weight and achieve the body you’ve always wanted?  Start losing weight this week with Corti-Thin, the best and most effective diet aid on the market.

Our all natural, ephedra-free supplement when used daily in conjunction with a sensible diet and moderate exercise program, works by attacking stress-induced cortisol production, reducing appetite, burning excess calories and boosting energy levels, thereby helping you to reduce belly fat, lose weight and create a more attractive, slimmer body.

Everyone, even “healthy” eaters, make mistakes. Here are the biggest dietary mistakes that people make (and still think they’re eating healthy).

1. Not eating breakfast (or other meals)- Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, as your body is literally breaking the “fast” you were in overnight. Your body needs nutrients in the morning to get going — and not giving them to it will leave you famished (and prone to overeating or binging on junk food) come lunchtime.
2. Drinking lots of fruit juice- Fruit juice does have some vitamins, however, it is also filled with sugar and a lot of extra calories. Some of the lower quality brands also contain artificial colors and flavors and even more added sugar. The healthier choice? Skip the juice and grab a piece of fruit instead, or prepare fresh juice from fruit at home.
3. Drinking Diet Sodas Excessively-Many people think that switching from regular to diet soda is a healthy choice. True, you are getting fewer calories and sugar, but even diet soda is unhealthy. Rather than putting a bunch of artificial sweeteners, flavors and colors (not to mention the caffeine) into your body, you’re much better off with plain water or herbal tea.
4. Overloading the Pasta- Pasta got a bad rap during the “low-carb” craze, but there’s still a large group of people who swear by it. Pasta, particularly the kind made from whole grains (not refined white flour), can be part of a healthy diet. The trick is to eat it in moderation, as the carbs can raise your blood sugar and lead to a surge of insulin in your body otherwise.
5. Too Many Energy Bars or Sports Drinks- Energy bars, though marketed as health foods, are often little more than over-priced candy bars. Some do have added nutrients, but most have some form of sugar and a lot of calories. Sport’s drinks, similarly, are often loaded with sugar (and artificial flavors and colors) and — unless you’re literally running marathons — you probably don’t need those extra calories.
6. Cutting Out All Fat From Your Diet- All fat is not your enemy. In fact, fat is vital for your body to function properly (or at all). The important thing is to know which fats are healthy and which are not. Fats to definitely avoid include trans fats (found in commercial baked goods, margarine, doughnuts, French fries and other snack foods).Note that monounsaturated fats, the kind found in avocados, olive oil, and nuts, and omega-3 fats, the kind found in fish, are exceptionally healthy and should definitely be included in your diet.
7. Focusing Your Diet on Frozen “Healthy” Dinners- These meals may give you some vegetables and protein, and certain varieties will help you to stay trim by limiting your portion size (if that’s all you eat), but they are not especially healthy. Many are lacking nutrients and contain preservatives and other unwanted ingredients.

If you are eating a healthy diet or find snacking and overeating is causing you to hold on to extra pounds read about Hoodia, the most exciting natural weight loss discovery in years. Find out why everyone is talking about Hoodia.

Your physical fitness is more important than your weight in protecting your health, according to a new study conducted by researchers at the University of South Carolina and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Researchers followed 2,600 people over the age of 59 for 12 years, monitoring their physical fitness, obesity and mortality. Participants were ranked for fitness based on how long they could walk on a treadmill as the incline increased. Measures of obesity taken included body mass index, waist circumference and body fat percentage.

Participants were divided into fifths based on how well they scored on the treadmill test. Those in the lowest fifth were four times more likely to die during the study period as those in the top fifth.

“Being fit provides protection against mortality in these men and women 60 and older, whether they’re normal weight, overweight or obese,” said researcher Stephen Blair.

Even a small difference in fitness translated into a large difference in mortality — even when compared only with the next highest group, those in the lowest fitness group were still twice as likely to die. Blair said this showed that overweight people should not be discouraged from exercising, even if they are out of shape and can only manage a little at first.

“If you’re overweight or obese and you’re sedentary and unfit and you start taking three 10-minute walks a day and you do that at least five days a week, you’re not going to lose an enormous amount of weight,” Blair said. “You’re going to still be heavy. But you’re going to be much healthier if you do that.”

Blair noted that it is still important to maintain a healthy weight and eat a good diet, particularly one high in fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

“But what happens all too often is we focus nearly exclusively on obesity and forget the activity and fitness part.”

When it comes to nutritional value, berries have a great reputation.  Not only are they packed with antioxidants, called anthocyanins that may help sharpen your memory as you age, they may be beneficial in inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and are a good source of fiber, a nutrient important for a healthy digestive system.  If that isn’t enough to make you want to dive in to a bowl of berries, studies suggest that berries may be also good for your heart and bones.

In a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 72 middle aged people who consumed just under a cup of mixed berries daily, had increased levels of “good” HDL cholesterol and lowered blood pressure, two positives when it comes to heart health.

As we age, estrogen levels decrease in our bodies and bone breakdown outpaces bone formation resulting in bone loss, a risk factor for osteoporosis. In one study conducted by scientists at Florida University, rats were fed blueberries every day for three months.  The scientist discovered these rats had significantly increased their bone density. “We believe that polyphenols in the berries slowed the rate [of bone turnover], ultimately saving bone,” says Bahram Arjmandi, Ph.D., R.D., the study’s lead author and professor and chair of the department of nutrition, food and exercise sciences at FSU.

More research is needed to know whether the benefits translate to humans, but the studies suggest that eating even a small amount of berries each day could be healthy for your bones.

The bottom line is that there are numerous reasons to add a bowl of berries to your daily diet. The best way to eat berries is in their raw, natural state, as heating or freezing can damage the antioxidants.

You can also get several of the health benefits of berries by taking a daily complex. Our Acai Advantage is a highly potent complex which combines the extracts of eleven fruits and berries.

Festive atmospheres, fun themes, rich tempting menus, and large portions can make healthy eating a difficult task. Splurging once in awhile is okay, but you’ll begin to pack on pounds if you make it a habit. Be smart when you eat out.

Choose restaurants wisely. Restaurants offering a variety of foods are a good choice. Try going Asian or vegetarian. They will give you a lot of tasty options. Make fewer visits to the all-you-can-eat buffets and dessert-cart places.

Weight Friendly Tips:

• Pass or limit your bread and butter.
• Drink water or herbal tea.
• As an appetizer, order soup made with broth rather than cream.
• Avoid gravies and rich sauces, instead choose salsas for flavoring.
• Order salad dressing on the side.
• Order steamed, poached, broiled, baked, grilled, roasted, or stir-fried foods.
• If the restaurant servings are large, order one or two appetizers instead. If you want to order an entree, split it or immediately doggy-bag half your meal for the next day.
• Try herbal tea or decaffeinated coffee for dessert. If you absolutely can’t resist the dessert tray, split your sweets with at least one other diner.
• Consider ordering a la carte. It might cost more, but your portions are likely to be smaller and you’ll have a better chance at getting just what you want, the way you want it.

Starting to feel like dining out is no fun? Don’t get overwhelmed by taking on these tips all at once. Instead, every time you visit a restaurant, pick one or two of these suggestions and enjoy your meal. If you do it often enough, before you know it, these changes will become healthy habits, and you won’t even have to think about it.

As we grow older the weight seems to be harder to take off.  Many people tend to blame their metabolism as the culprit for their increasing weight gain. So does metabolism really slow with age?

What is metabolism?

Most of us think of metabolism as the rate at which we burn calories. “Metabolism is the breakdown of metabolic fuels we have in the diet,” explains Christopher Newgard, director of the Sarah W. Stedman Nutrition and Metabolism Center at Duke University Medical School. “The primary nutrients in food can be classified as fats, proteins or carbohydrates. I think of metabolism as the way the cells, organs and tissues in our bodies handle those kinds of fuels.” In other words, it’s not just about burning up the food we eat, but about how the various nutrients from that food help us maintain a healthy body.

So does the metabolism slow down or do we slow down?

Both. As we age, our metabolism does slow down. The primary thing that seems to occur is that mitochondria in the cells slow down with age. Also, as we age, we are subject to sarcopenia which is muscle wasting. Since muscle burns more energy than fat, this means the metabolic load goes down and metabolism reflects that. Therefore, if you do nothing about your loss of muscle with age, it will take you longer to burn off a donut at age 60 than at 20.
In addition, most of us become less active as we get older, which results in increased weight gain.

What can you do?

• Exercise
  Exercise is No. 1. It actually increases the number of mitochondria, increases your metabolic activity and burns calories.
• Eat balanced meals
  Each of the primary foods in a balanced diet has important individual contributions to make to the whole metabolic scheme function properly. Fatty acids are important in the synthesis of cell membranes. Carbs are a quick energy source and used for a whole plethora of biochemical reactions, including building DNA. Amino acids build protein—the structural basis of our cells. Again, all of this is part of metabolism—converting and using nutrients to maintain healthy cells, organs and tissues. Diets that eliminate an entire food group will take a toll on the body in the long run.
• Drink water
  Every process in the body takes place in water and drinking water helps with digestion and metabolism efficiency.  In addition, when you are dehydrated, you feel lethargic and you move less.

In the end, age will slow us down. But by staying active and eating well, you can slow the effects of a slowing metabolism. If you are struggling to lose weight and are looking for a natural way to boost your metabolism, we suggest Healthy Choice Naturals Acai Heat, a breakthrough weight loss formula that combines the power of Acai Berries in combination with 7 highly effective, all natural ingredients to help you lose weight.
