It's Official, Australia has overtaken the U.S as the fattest country in the world!The report announced last week that 26% of adults in Australia (almost 4 million) are now considered obese.
With the U.S obesity rate at 25%, Australia now tops the world heavyweight rankings.
Alarmingly the obesity level has risen by an extra 1 million since it was last recorded in 1999.
The report calls for personal training and gym subsides plus a national weight loss strategy similar to skin cancer and smoking.
Maybe this will be a wake up call for district councils who have begun introducing extremely high fees (up to $1100 per year) for personal trainers and boot camp operators using parks and beaches.
This in turn will almost certainly drive up personal training rates making it even harder for the average Australian to lose weight.

Researchers have found that obesity is a rising risk among the people with one or more physical disability. The rate of obesity is alarmingly rising among the disabled population. The research particularly showed that adults who were in someway or the other disabled in the lower limbs faced the risk of getting obese by 2.5 times. http://www.phentermine-effects.com
