Overweight and obesity now affect a staggering 66 percent of Americans and is a major health concern in the US and many industrialized nations.

"The problem has been called an epidemic," says Dr. Arthur Rubinstein, Executive Vice President of the University of Pennsylvania for the Health System, and Dean of the School of Medicine, "and compared to the harmful effects of tobacco and alcohol in terms of the extent of its negative impact on the health of the population."

"It is estimated that overweight and obesity underlie approximately 90,000 deaths from cancer per year," he says, "an indication of how serious this epidemic is in terms of increasing the morbidity and mortality in the population."

And it is not just death from cancer. Compared to normal weight adults, overweight, and even more so obese, individuals, have a 50 to 100 percent increased risk of death from all causes, according to the National Institutes of Health. A moderately obese person should expect to live up to five years less than their normal weight counterpart, and almost 13 years less if morbidly obese.

Besides cancer, overweight and obesity have been repeatedly and consistently associated with several other diseases and conditions, such as:

• Hypertension.

• Hypercholesterolemia.

• Diabetes.

• Stroke.

• Heart attack.

• Osteoarthritis.

Overweight and obesity also increase the likelihood of developing sleep problems, breathing difficulties, and joint and back pain as well.

Yet, even modest weight losses can have a profound impact on reducing, and preventing, these medical problems. And the evidence from the studies is overwhelming, showing significant risk reductions and health improvements for losses as little as seven percent of the initial body weight, at any age.

Increasing the speed of the metabolic process - namely increasing your body's capacity to burn more calories faster is widely acknowledged by researchers and experts in the field as one of the most effective, and healthy, ways to lose weight easily and quickly.

Studies have demonstrated that speeding up the metabolism through simple changes in the way - and in what we eat, level of physical activity, and lifestyle, go a long way towards regaining, and maintaining, a healthy weight.

Despite the fact that much has been written on the key role of metabolism and metabolic changes to successfully lose weight and enjoy a longer life free from illness, little is available that brings together, in one source, information on this topic that is authoritative and yet of practical use.
