In 2015 we can all go off our diets!

If Americans keep gaining weight at the current rate, fat will be the norm by 2015, with 75 per cent of US adults overweight and 41 percent obese, researchers have predicted.

"Obesity is a public health crisis. If the rate of obesity and overweight continues at this pace, by 2015, 75 per cent of adults and nearly 24 per cent of US children and adolescents will be overweight or obese," Dr. Youfa Wang, who led the study, said in a statement.

I certainly do hope that this does not turn out to be accurate. We don't have to all look like movie stars or fashion models, but neither should we simply eat ourselves to death.

Exercise and a good diet will enhance peoples lives to an amazing degree if they will simply do it with the right attitude and don't make it seem like being in a dungeon and punished on a daily basis. Living a healthy lifestyle has many perks that are not always obvious to those who are not used to it.

You sleep better, feel better, look better, and even have better sex. And when you do have a sugary treat it will taste much better. I promise.
