According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Obesity is now considered to be an epidemic in the U.S. This condition is putting millions of Americans at a higher risk for serious diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. According to the most recent statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a whopping 78 million adults—more than a third of the U.S. population—are obese.
Obesity is a label for a range of weight that is greater than what is generally considered healthy for a given height. American Physicians use body mass index (BMI)—the gold standard for diagnosing obesity. The BMI measurement was first devised in the 1830s, and it is a basic ratio of weight to height and any one with BMI of 30 or over is considered Obese.
No one wants to be “Obese”. And most of the time it is not in their control says Dr. Cestari MD at www.eaweightlosscenter.com. He also says that most of the people fall into the trap of advertizing by area “Gyms” “private trainers” “household nutritionists”
and now ever expanding “Diet Centers”.
In my interview for this article with Ann Rohan Cassidy, NP at www.mydietmds.com I was told that in life it is 10% exercise, 10% Dailey and 80% is quantity and quality of caloric intake after the medical reason of gaining weight have been rules out.
Most of the people join gyms, get bad diet advise and then go onto “Spent weeks chocking down pounds of salad, sweating till you drop”, and discover either the scale didn’t move or in few weeks the lost weight returns with few extra pounds.
Remember: Calories in – calories used = weight gain & 3500 calories = 1 Pound wt
It is the quality that matters as horse eats “hay (grass and legumes)” and an Obese eat high fatty sugary high calorie foods.
Weight Loss is a well needed service and is expanding at a fast pace and like any business brings in opportunists like “Dr. Mostafa of Commack out of business”. Yes to stop the epidemic of obesity, we need weight loss in a sensible way and not to get carried away like “The Harvard pediatrics professor and obesity expert David Ludwig in a controversial commentary published in one of the country’s most well-regarded medical journals suggesting that the main reason for childhood obesity is the lack of parent supervision and his prescription for a cure was to take away the kids and put them in the foster homes and like our president would say no one likes that.
Similarly if the adult Obesity keeps on going at is present pace and Obama Health Care when fully implemented there will could be fines for overweight individuals like airlines tried or some radical "think tanks" may suggested that the government should put Obese people in jails or "fat" camps as they have become burden on society.
Just because you eat extra calories unconsciously as a result of medical conditions including parental scare “not to leave table until you finish your plate or “stress eating fast and without chewing” you should be punished.
Childhood Obesity can easily be controlled by schools by simply introducing a healthy eating class after sex education and educating parent’s importance of portion control during PTA meetings.
Adult excessive eating can be controlled safely by the use of “appetite suppressants” also known as “Diet Pills” if used for short time under proper medical supervision. Overeating is a habit and like any other habit like smoking, drinking and ……. can be amended with behavior modification education, counseling and short term use of FDA approved diet pills which have been demonized by some as hey do for birth control pills.
A recent case just happened here on Long Island where Dr. Samir Mostafa of Commack had to close his practice permanently. Dr. Mostafa has been charged for gross negligence; gross incompetence; fraudulent practice; willfully or grossly negligently failing to comply with substantial laws governing the practice of medicine; failing to make records available to the Department of Health; failing to comply with a comprehensive medical review order; failing to maintain accurate patient records and engaging in moral unfitness.
The purpose of FDA is to approve drugs and give its charge to Physicians were they become the in charge of its use in their practice and some like Dr. Mostafa of Commack.
For some reasons only known to them abuse their powers till they lose their License. The details of the whole case are available at OPMC, NYS or attached herewith in PDF form.
People need the “appetite suppressants” “Diet Pills” to control their excessive eating habits and losing weight as some times self control is not enough.
