Obesity is rampant, I've heard that Canton Ohio was voted the happiest place to live in America, but it also is the most unhealthiest through studies. It has a lot to do with the food, we have tons of restaraunts, fast food joints, of all varieties and cultures. Food makes people happy, but it also makes them unhealthy.

The low carb- high protein diet that SoliDuS keeps mentioning will work for those who have time to work out and actually do work out.

I'm 5'6" 145 pounds, once was pure muscle but it has all turned into 'flab'. SoLiDus, the problem with your technique is you have to work out forever for you to keep yourself in shape. Actually, it hurts you more in the end to do that. It's just as bad as being overweight, your joints become very tender and break easy, bones become brittle faster. Swimming has been the best exercise for me, it doesn't put stress on your joints one bit, and you still get the muscles you want. Unfortunatly, after I finished High School, I was no longer working out or swimming, and turned into flab.

People who get overweight CAN stop themselves, cut down on Pop, Fried foods, and pastas. When you do eat them, try to eat foods of the same type, because its easier for your stomach to break down the foods. The problem is, there is a myth that you should 'Eat all 5 food groups'. This is actually worse for you. Sure, you can eat all 5 food groups, and should, but not at one sitting.
