TRANSCRIPT
A Global Battle Against Obesity
World Health Organization will decide whether to adopt an aggressive plan outlining ways nations can combat obesity. Suggestions include limiting food advertising aimed at children, offering tax breaks and subsidies to lower prices of healthful foods, improving food labels and trying to curb added sugars to just 10% of daily calories. The plan also calls on food and beverage companies to reduce the fat, salt and sugar content in their products.
The proposal has generated intense criticism from the U.S. government, and from the sugar industry, grocers, soft-drink makers and big food companies, claiming the proposal isn't supported by science. But if the World Health Organization approves the plan, consumers will see a world-wide push to help them improve their diets, including international efforts to regulate food marketing, pricing and production.

ADA’s What to Ask
Promise a quick fix? Encourage or require you to stop eating
certain foods, food groups or products? Rely on a single study as the basis for its
recommendations? Contradict recommendations of reputable
health organizations? Identify “good” and “bad” foods? Just sound too good to be true?
Appropriate Weight Loss Techniques A diet that is
individually planned to help create a deficit of 500 to 1,000 kcal/day should be an intregal part of any program
aimed at achieving a weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds per week.
Physical activity should be part of a comprehensive weight loss therapy and weight control program because it: modestly contributes to weight loss in overweight
and obese adults may decrease abdominal fat increases cardiorespiratory fitness may help with maintenance of weight loss.
Appropriate Weight Loss Techniques Physical activity as an integral part of weight
loss therapy and weight maintenance. Initially, moderate levels of physical activity for 30 to 45
minutes 3 to 5 days a week, should be encouraged accumulate at least 30 minutes or more of
moderate-intensity physical activity on most, and preferably all, days of the week.
Reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity is recommended since it produces weight loss that may result in lower abdominal fat and increases in cardiorespiratory fitness.
