Weight loss programs in Australia are featured in the media as
never before. Lost 6 kg in the first week! Still eat food that you
enjoy! 62% of Australians overweight! On radio and TV we are bombarded
with advertisements concerning weight loss and warnings from the
Australian Government about the health risks of being overweight or
obese. Australia is now one of the fattest nations in the world!
But this is all very confusing. On one hand we are so proud of our sporting heroes eg. Rod Laver in Tennis, Greg Norman in Golf, Cathy Freeman in Athletics, Ian Thorpe in Swimming, John Eales in Rugby Union, Don Bradman in Cricket. But on the other hand we are now one of the fattest nations in the world!
