Alarming increase in obese and overweight middle aged women

Women age 20-34 are the fastest growing overweight part of the population.

Comparing studies researchers found that in 40 years the BMI range of 25-30 (considered overweight) for the 20-34 population increased an alarming 31%. 

Some of this may be due to the addicting like properties that obesity/overweight people have.  It appears that some people may become anxious and their brains shows increased levels of stress when they are not able to eat a high fat meal. 

Then answer to this is to cut back and not cut out. 

As the author of the Dress Size Reduction Diet I teach behavior modification and everything in moderation.  I don't expect someone to go from eating fast food 2 times a day to eating orange roughy and broccoli.  It takes time to change behaviors and you can eat anything you want as long as the quantity and number of times it is eaten is controlled. 

You want that cake.  Go ahead and have a piece.  Just don't eat a piece of cake every day for a month.

Does that make sense?

Remember if you want to not be one of these statistics for the every growing obese market then start making changes 1 day at a time and build on your successes.  This means that you can still have your cake and eat it to.  Just not every day

Yours in health!
