I Recently a very strong new trend appeared in the health market. It is called obesity as a health
problem. Fatness is not perceived as consequence of lifestyle abnormality anymore. Extra pounds
are rather treated as a disease, like let’s say heart disease or diabetes. If there is a disease, there
should be a cure. Many “instant cures” for overweight appeared on the market, and it might seem
quite overwhelming to choose between different approaches and formulas. “Try this, try that”.
Weight loss became a big industry and a great source of income. Many businesses thrive on mak-
ing fat reduction surgeries, selling herbal teas, creating diet and exercise programs. However,
concerns about their effectiveness and safety are only one side of the coin. The second part of this
trend is formation of a new mentality – weight looser. These are some concepts of this new
mental body and weight perception:

1. Being overweight is shameful, ugly, and highly undesirable, and everyone should fight with it vigorously.

2. Slim, sexy posture with perfect proportions is an etalon of beauty and everyone should have it.

3. Those who are not able to get rid of extra weight or those who gain it back are cowards, gluttons, lazy bones and lacking
will power.

4. Once saved is forever saved. The right “cure” or pill will help you to lose weight fast, effortlessly and permanently.

5. Focus is on magic pills rather than on lifestyle changes. The most avoided word in many weight loss programs is CHANGES. I read on
a weight loss product: “It will change your life, even if you don’t.” Sounds seductive, but how in the world can that happen?

What are the consequences of the new body and beauty philosophy?

These are much more significant that one might think at first.

1. A very low self-esteem in overweight people and not only. Those who do not look exactly like super slim models (even thought
people having such looks are not necessarily healthy) are not popular and not beautiful enough. However, too skinny people often have
little energy, are hypoglycemic, hypotonic and malnourished, feel very cold in winter time and even might have difficulty to sit on the chair
(because of lack of fat it feels painful or uncomfortable).
 2. Eating disorders, such as bulimia and anorexia become more widespread, as many try to fight shameful fatness and are teared
apart by guilt. I met a lady who would not make a green smoothie, because she did not want to add 2 apples to it: “Too many calories“,
she said.

3. A calorie calculation obsession. Many people are not aware that

amount of calories a person consumes has nothing to do with weight. I
was serving a diet of almost 2000 kcalories per day to hundreds of people,
and they were not only not gaining weight, they were able to lose up to 21
lb in 10 days. If you juice several carrots, you will get a lot of calories. But
will you get fat from a cup of juice?

Following this and other nutritional misconceptions, for example, that all
fats are bad, can lead to malnutrition, serious health problems, eating dis-
orders, being very harsh with oneself, as well as constant obsession with
calorie calculation.

4. Women stop being in charge of their health. They hope for cure instead of being ready and motivated to change their lifestyles.
Deep in heart no one is willing to change. However, if you continue doing what you have been doing you will get the same results that
you are getting.

Be in charge of your own health and destiny. Do not let an image created by society to form your self image. Trust yourself and love yourself as you are. Set a
reasonable goal and go for it. Do you remember a fairy-tale about tortoise and hare? “Slow and steady wins”. Do not look for magic, live a magical life. Do not
dream about fairy that will transform the poor Cinderella into a princess, be your own fairy and transform your life and the life of others for the better.
