How many other changes are there in life that you can make that will result in you looking better, feeling better, being more energetic, increase your life span, decrease your sickness and health problems to name just few of the many positive effects from losing weight and obtaining a lean healthy body. And yet there are so many detractors out there trying to convince people that they should not try to lose weight. Why in the world would anyone in their right mind try to convince people not to make such a positive change? Are such people crazy? Unfortunately no, they are not crazy, but much worse they are financially motivated to keep people overweight because of all the money that is made from the numerous health conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc, all related to people being overweight. The next time you see someone on television trying to convince you that you should not lose weight you will understand the real reason why they are talking so crazy. It is no coincidence that the same television station runs so many advertisements for hospitals, pharmaceuticals, and other health care industry products. There are literally billions and billions of dollars being made because so many people are overweight and the people making all the money will do ever thing that they possible can to make you believe it is somehow wrong to lose weight. Don’t believe their lies and don’t allow them to keep you from losing weight and being healthy because that is exactly what they want.
