Americans are always looking for the quickest, easiest way to promote weight loss. People are quick to find something that requires the least amount of effort and provides the most results. However, the law of "the path of least resistance" is not always the best choice. For weight loss, it is a simple formula: if you are overweight, you have taken in more calories than your body is able to burn. Weight loss, however is like many things in life, and is just not that simple.
If it were as easy as taking a pill to shed the unwanted pounds then none of us would be overweight. There are many factors that contribute to a person's inability to promote weight loss.
Why are people overweight?
This is a complex question but we can offer some interesting hypotheses. We live in an industrialized society. In order to get our food, we get into our cars (which hardly burns any calories) and drive to the nearest grocery store only to browse from aisle to aisle to pick out or food for the week. This is normal and commonplace for most people. In fact, most folks are so disconnected from their food that when children are asked where a certain food product comes from they will answer that it comes from the grocery store. This certainly has to change.
The fact is that ease and convenience have contributed to our inability to lose weight. If you had to work for your food by digging it up, cleaning it and then cooking it you would have burned a considerable amount of calories during that process. There should be a more profound relationship with where our food comes from and our health which affects our weight.
