A new study from the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) has found that over one-third of all adults across the world is overweight or suffers from obesity. The ODI report looks at how efforts to improve world hunger have been offset by poor dietary choices that are on the rise in newly developing countries. The effect has been an erosion in "traditional hunger," replaced by unhealthy diets consisting of fats, sugars and meats. One prime factor in the rise of fatty diets and obesity found by researchers is rising incomes and the sedentary, urban lifestyle that often comes with it. This trend is particularly evident in the US, where over one-third (35.7%) of adults are obese, and obesity-related conditions like heart disease and stroke remain leading causes of preventable death. As the trend toward obesity comes to affect more people, it brings into focus the important work of Dr. Feiz and his team. "There seems to be little will among the public and leaders to take the determined action that is needed to influence future diets, but that may change in the face of the serious health implications," write researchers in their report. While there may be truth to that on a large scale, Dr. Feiz and his team of medical and weight loss professionals are proof that there are certainly many people for whom safe, sustainable weight loss is very much a priority.
