California weight loss

<translate> California is a state in the United States that has significant proportion of the population dealing with being overweight or obese.

Population of California

Total Population as per census 2010 is 37,253,956

• Adults age 18 and over is 75.0% of the total population in 2010

• Youth under 18 years of age is 25.0% of the total population in 2010

Among California’s adults age 18 and over[[]]

• 60.7% of adults were overweight, with a Body Mass Index of 25 or greater
• 24.0% of adults were obese, with a Body Mass Index of 30 or greater

Adolescent Overweight and Obesity California

2009 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) adolescent obesity data is not available, as California’s overall response rate was below 60%, the minimum necessary for statewide reporting.

Child Overweight and Obesity California

Among California’s children aged 2 years to less than 5 years[[]]

• 16.0% were overweight (85th to <95th percentile BMI-for-Age)
• 17.2% were obese (>95th percentile BMI-for-Age)

• 26.8% of adults reported having consumed vegetables at the recommended level of 3 or more times per day. Physical Activity

• 46.0% of adults achieved at least 300 minutes a week of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity or 150 minutes a week of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity (or an equivalent combination).

• 22.1% of California’s adults reported that during the past month, they had not participated in any physical activity.

Rethinking Our Dietary Approach Shifting focus from individual blame to understanding the complexities of obesity is crucial. A key factor is insulin resistance, impacting up to 71% of the population, with 35% experiencing metabolic syndrome. Navigating Misinformation The overwhelming presence of over 20,000 books and mixed messages on obesity medicine calls for guidance from experts like Dr Prab R. Tumpati, MD, who can provide clarity on the science and practice of this field. The Downfall of the Food Guide Pyramid The outdated and ineffective food guide pyramid, promoting a low-fat but high-glycemic diet, significantly contributed to increased insulin resistance and, consequently, weight gain. Insulin resistance and weight gain Insulin resistance is a physiological condition where the body's cells become less responsive to the hormone insulin. As insulin not only controls the blood sugar, it also controls the weight! Reducing the overall carbohydrate load and insulin levels is a key underlying concept in many low carbohydrate diets such as the ketogenic diet.

The Blame Game in Obesity Understanding metabolic starvation Weight gain isn't typically intentional. It often stems from the paradox of metabolic starvation in the obese, driven by insulin resistance and resulting in heightened insulin levels. This leads to persistent hunger, cravings, and further weight gain. Stop blaming the victim for obesity!
