Australian Obesity

Obesity in Australia

Australia is the most obese country in the world.
Recent studies show that 47% of women and 63% of men are overweight or obese. Australians are at the point where it is almost more “normal” to have a weight problem than not.

Over the last decade as a nation, we have continued to gain weight. If the current trend continues, it is estimated that by 2011, 75% of Australians will be above their healthy weight range.

So why are we losing the battle of our waist lines and more importantly, how can we start to reverse this trend?

This website will hopefully inform and guide you through how to live a long and healthy life by maintaining a healthy weight. By educating people on the steps needed to have a healthy lifestyle, as a nation, we can get back to a healthy weight.

This website is also designed to motivate Australian’s by showing that living a healthy lifestyle does not have to be hard! You just need follow some rules, and maintain good habits.
