CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION EXERPT: Why all the fuss about diet and exercise? The majority of adults in the United States are overweight or obese. The prevalence of overweight adults has increased from 31% to 64% in the last four decades. The prevalence of obesity has increased from 13% to 31% (JAMA 2002;288:1723-7). Adverse health consequences of obesity are well established and include increased risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, some types of cancer, and a reduced life expectancy. Our "current" modern diet is clearly maladaptive as cardiovascular disease (heart attacks and strokes) is the main cause of death in Western societies (41% of all fatalities) (J Am Coll Card 2000;35:66-80B). Diabetes is another epidemic in modern society. The lifetime risk of developing diabetes melitis for individuals born in 2000 is 32.8% for males and 38.5% for females AND a male who is diagnosed at age 40 years old will lose 11.6 life-years (14.3 if female) and 18.6 quality-adjusted life years (22 if female) (JAMA 2003;290:1884-90). Cancer it the cause of 25% of the deaths in our society and can clearly be linked to certain environmental risks (80%). Our cravings for sweets and fats gave us a survival advantage during times of famine. In modern times with an abundance of inexpensive, calorie-dense foods, these cravings are working against us.
