Hello! Yes its been awhile but school, work, and now a wedding have kept my plate full. Eventhough I am a busy bee I am still doing some very interesting research. I am working on a research paper for school about the good and bad effects of a high protein diet and I can't wait to share the finished product. I have set a new goal for the spring yes I am going to start running thanks to a great trainer!! I think she is more excited about it than me at this point. New recipes are in the works and I will also share those. Recently I read an article titled "The Skinny Gene" in this article they discussed the growing rate of obesity in America. I knew it was bad but I was shocked to see the stats. The problem with obesity is continuing to grow and it is starting with our children. It really is sad to see. Obesity is a BMI of 30 or more factors to consider are height, weight, and fitness level. This study shows that in 1985 14% of the entire population of the United States was obese. In 2006 33.3 % of adult men, 35.5% of adult women, and 16.3% of adolescents between ages 2 and 19 were obese. That is a huge increase! Which means more and more people are suffering from disease. This is something to think about how can we change our increasing obesity rate and what can we do in our own family to prevent it!
