Put on a few pounds, lately? You’re not alone. One third of adult Americans are clinically obese. Another third are overweight. And that’s not all! Obesity is now so common among American children that physicians have come up with a nickname for an alarming new syndrome: Diabesity. It’s combination of childhood obesity and Type 2 Diabetes (formerly known as Adult Onset Diabetes). This syndrome results in obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other “older adult” ailments as early as childhood and it’s life threatening. Doctors estimate that one out of every two American children born in year 2000, will develop Diabesity. In some minorities it’s two out of three! According to recent statistics, if current trend continues, every American will be fat by year 2032!

1. Used your computer, recently? If you’re like most Americans, you’re finding all kinds of tasks are much easier and faster to do on your computer. Everything from paying bills online, to shopping for clothes, to researching a paper are all easier than going to post office, shopping mall and library. And that’s good! But, as convenient as all those things used to be a decade or so ago, they still required more effort, more steps and more calories to perform and if you haven’t cut back on your eating in equal measure, then that means more fat on your body.

2. Does lady of house have a job? If so, then family probably eats out more. Americans eat away from home or get delivery far more than they did a few decades ago, because most folks don’t have time to cook, these days. Restaurants and fast food joints tend to prepare tasty high-calorie meals. Those extra calories mean more fat on you.

3. Did your parents grow up in Depression? Then you probably were taught to “clean your plate, because children in _______ are starving.” Waste not, want not, is a great motto to live by, unless what you’ve got is way too much, already. If you’re eating everything in sight, then that means more fat on you.

4. Been super sized, lately? Restaurants and fast-food places discovered a couple of decades ago that they can make higher profits by selling larger portions. Everybody likes a bargain and anyway you need a 42 oz. soda to wash down that wheel-barrel sized tub of popcorn, right? Trouble is, that and fast food meal you had for dinner add up to two or three times number of calories you can afford in a day and guess where those extra calories are going?
