Nearly 30 percent of American adults are overweight and another 30 percent are obese, according to University of Minnesota researchers. Obesity is usually described as a weight 20 percent greater than persons desirable weight.

A study by Obstetrics and Gynecology department at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle revealed that 60% of overweight women, and 70% of obese women, are likely to become pregnant while taking pill. The researchers suggest that a higher metabolism is reason, causing medication to be effective for a shorter length of time. Or, that drug interacts with body's hormones in a way that drug becomes trapped in body fat instead of circulating in bloodstream.

Studies with obese pregnant women show they are 50% more likely to die during pregnancy than those of normal weight. Complications such as miscarriage, gestational diabetes, hypertension, pre-eclampsia, pre-term labor, and stillbirth are also more common. Preliminary evidence shows that babies are also adversely affected, and are more likely to be obese themselves in later life.

Fast foods: Studies show that people who frequent fast food outlets twice a week or more gained 36 pounds over course of 15 years compared to 26 pounds for those that frequented them once a week or less.

A major factor for obesity crisis is a sedentary lifestyle, not enough exercise, and eating of high calorie fast foods in place of nutritious natural food products.

Fast food is designed to promote consumption of maximum number of calories in minimum amount of time. This upsets body's normal metabolism. One solution is to eat smaller, more nutritious, meals more frequently throughout day.

Physical activity reduces effects of being overweight, but healthy eating habits have to be followed to prevent disease associated with poor nutrition according to an expert of nutrition and epidemiology at Harvard School of Public Health.

The new diet guidelines set by Health and Human Services and U.S. Department of Agriculture is basically a balanced diet and good old fashioned exercise. They stress more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and limit fats, sugar, alcohol, and salt.

Many supermarkets are open 24 hours a day making a choice of healthy food available at all times.
