Becky Howard, 23, is desperate to lose weight. Like thousands of women across Britain this weekend, she is starting a calorie-counting weight loss programme to reach her goal of 8 stone(50.9 kilos). At just under nine stone(57.3 kilos)she could hardly be described as fat, but nevertheless is determined to achieve a slimmer, more desirable shape.
New food fashions, strict detox therapies, "healthy" cookery books, and the latest gym equipment are being marketed as never before, yet as a nation Britain is suffering from an epidemic of obesity. The illusory nature of quick-fix diets is revealed with the stark facts that more than half of all English women—and nearly two-thirds of all men—are overweight. A report last year suggests that one in five adults is now clinically obese—a condition leaving them at risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and osteoarthritis.
According to a survey of more than 1 ,000 respondents by the British Heart Foundation, nearly half the nation intends to lose more than five kilos in weight this month. Most people put on about 2 kilos over Christmas, with 6,000 Calories consumed on Christmas Day alone.
But men and women have different reasons for wanting to be slimmer and fitter as they begin a new year. A fifth of men, according to the BHF sirvey, say they diet to become more healthy, while nearly half want to boost their energy levels.
For women, it is pure vanity. They say that losing the kilos will boost their self-confidence, while nearly half the respondents admit they would feel a lot happier if they could wear a smaller size in clothes.
While the charity does not want to discourage weight loss—about one-third of all deaths from coronary heart disease are from an unhealthy diet—cardiac experts are keen to stress that what people should be doing is cutting saturated fat out of their meals, instead of cutting down drastically on all food. Their new approach, based on the fact that thousands of people are determined to shift the kilos, is to give them practical tips for losing weight, based on eating sensibly.
According to Dr. Ian Campbell, who works in general practice and at Nottingham’s university Hospital, keeping your motivation beyond January is very demanding. " We should be discouraging people from dieting as such, because they usually become miserable and despondent and find it doesn’t work. It has to be about a healthier lifestyle and they should feel able to talk to their doctor about the problems, because that can make a big difference to maintaining long-term motivation.
