It is an uncomfortable experience to walk around and see that an average woman of today is an overweight person struggling to fit into a normal routine . It may not be the common European experience but most UK women look out of shape and out of breath carrying extra kilos that they can do without .. Ignorance or lack of education ? which one is to blame ?

Damian7 i think doctors and pharma companies are exaggerating a little bit dont you think so? A little bit overweight cannot be unhealthy ( i am not talking about fat people )

But you are true, especially in the UK and in the US you see really obese people, but over there ( I was in the states last year ) it is really hard to find health-food restaurants ( just so many fast food restaurants ).

People who tend to be fat survive better in times of famine; meanwhile people with higher rates of metabolism lead healthier lives!

However, even if a fat person has a lower metabolic rate than a skinny person it is still IMPOSSIBLE to put on weight unless you consume more calories that you use - therefore obesity is a self-inflicted illness!

Eat less and join Jacko on his morning gentle 6 kms power walk and you'll soon be considered anorexic by your friends!

Who doesn't have problems with weight??....my solution?...miss out a meal, ie eat twice a day only...and for those who really can't resist 3 meals and that bottle of wine on a daily basis (me)...just go to gym every night of your life...you'll never have to worry about those extra kilos again....professor

What about all the fat men?

Part of the problem too is that we are all sitting behind a computer instead of moving our bodies.

I'm gonna move my body right now.

Why you picking on women? .... just about every man has belly hanging Over his belt!

Did you know .... before the weight starts to show on men it has coated their innards in layers of lard, so what eventually shows is the Extra that has nowhere to go.

Women, on the other hand, store their fat just under their skin, sort of externally, so it`s actually easier to get rid of with a bit of excercise.... it is what gives us that nice rounded cuddly look.

Fatness comes from eating fat, and other things jammed into packets/tins/bottles. If it comes out of the ground, or off a tree or vine, it won`t make you fat.
