People with Obesity Unlikely to Lose Weight - http://clapway.com/2015/07/17/people-with-obesity-unlikely-to-lose-weight697/

Losing weight is difficult for all of us, yet it’s harder for some than for others. A recent study shows that when it comes to obese people, this task is close to being impossible to achieve.

According to a new study, most people who are obese have extremely low chances to return to a normal weight. The scientist at King’s College, in London, affirmed that the results to their study showed there are very low chances for obese people to have a normal weight.

Obese People Have a 1 in 124 chance to Have a Normal Weight Again

The recent study was funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). There were 278,982 participants (129,194 men and 149,788 women). Their weight was tracked using electronic health records from 2004 to 2014.

The aim of the study was to find the probability of obese people to attain normal weight, or a 5% reduction in body weight. In order to estimate the weight change, the scientists used a minimum of three body mass index per patient.

Obese People Tend to Regain the lost Weight

All doctors recommend losing at least 5% to 10% body weight since it has been shown to have meaningful health benefits. However, according to the researchers’ results, most people don’t manage to lose weight at all.

It appears that the chance of losing between 5% and 10% weight is just one in 12 for men and one in 10 for women.

In addition, the scientists found out that, more than half of those who did manage 5% weight loss, regained it within the next 5 years.

These results show how difficult it is for people who have obesity to achieve and maintain even small amounts of weight loss.

Obesity Is a Serious Problem

Even if there is a high number of people who don’t seem to be taking this issue serious, obesity is an alarming problem.

All health officials warn people all over the world that obesity should be treated as a serious global public health epidemic.

According to the World Health Organization, the disease has more than doubled since 1980. In addition, it seems that almost 40 percent of adults measured were obese in 2014.

These are the reason why, in order to deal with this issue and to find treatment for obesity, new approaches are needed.

Restaurants as Unhealthy as Fast Food Places - http://clapway.com/2015/07/16/restaurants-as-unhealthy-as-fast-food-places543/

We are all aware of how unhealthy fast food is, but it seems that eating in a casual and fine dining restaurant is also far from being a good choice.

According to researchers, the healthiest option is eating at home. Cooking is the best way to control the calories, fat, sugar and other nutrients that we consume, according to experts. This is because when we prepare our meals, we know exactly what the food contains, and we choose all the ingredients.

Eating in Restaurants Is Not as Healthy as Many Believe

In accordance with research, choosing between a fast food place and a restaurant doesn’t make a big difference, since the food from both places is unhealthy. The food people eat when they go out usually has more calories, fat and sodium than the meals made at home.

The new study, published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey , which gathers health and dietary information from a representative sample of the U.S. population, on a regular basis.

Questions in regards to what they had eaten over a two-day period were answered by 18,000 people. A third of them said they had eaten fast food on one or even both days and one-quarter had eaten in a restaurant on at least one day.

When You Eat Out You End Up with 200 More Calories

As declared by the researchers, when going out to eat, people end up taking in 200 more calories than when eating at home. This is true even if they choose a fine restaurant, instead of a fast food place.

And this doesn’t seem to be all the research shows. Some restaurants might even be unhealthier than fast food. It appears that, even though you might be getting more healthy nutrients, such as vitamins or omega-3 fatty acids, you are probably consuming more cholesterol and sodium as well.

Obese People Prefer Restaurants, not Fast Food

Furthermore, the research also shows that people with a poor education are more likely to consume fast food while people in the middle-income range tend to eat more in other types of restaurants.

The surprise came from the obese people who seem to prefer eating in restaurants and not in fast food.

As a measure against unhealthy eating, the US Food and Drug Administration has required restaurants with more than 20 locations to provide their customers with information about the calories on the menu.
