So we looked at the first problem of obesity. Here’s the second problem:

Problem #2: Thinking too little

Yes, I know what you’re thinking. If the first problem was thinking too much, then how is it that the second problem is thinking too little? If doctors and scientists and health professionals are over thinking the problem, then the average consumer is doing just the opposite: they’re not even thinking about it.

Why do you think supplement companies make so much money off of them? Christmas rolls around and they stuff themselves silly. Then realize that they’re fat and try to lose the weight by stuffing themselves with even more fat burners and what not, promising extreme and effective weight loss. Then they realize that shoving fat burners down their throats doesn’t work and dieting is too hard and they’re too lazy to go to the gym, so they just start binge eating again. The cycle continues.

The problem lies in the lack of research. If these people were to just sit down in front of their computer on a Sunday afternoon and do some research on exercise and nutrition, they’d understand the following things:

1. You can not achieve long-term success with weight loss if you do not lift weights

2. You can not achieve long-term success with weight loss if you are chronically limit your caloric intake

3. You can not achieve long-term success with weight loss with aerobic exercise alone

4. Weight loss is a long-term process, and success to which depends on the type of lifestyle changes you make.

Fat people are just like other people: they’re self-conscious individuals who don’t want to look the way they want. But the constant butchering of their intelligence by so-called experts in the field has left them with no other choice but to accept their condition. But people should realize that you should never accept your condition. Why settle for a life you hate? Why just be going through the motions when you can dig deep inside of you and bring out that change on your own through consistency, determination, and a lot of hard work?

I want to give you guys an update on the YJA (Young Jain Association) Convention: I’m going to the convention. I’ll tell you why on my next post. I also want to start sharing a story about this desire I have of helping someone out. Let me first make sure this situation materializes. I need to ask him if he wants to workout first. Then we’ll take it from there.
