Kung Fu Weight Loss
Kung fu is a Chinese term referring to any study, learning, or practice that requires patience, energy, and time to complete. Quite often, kung fu is used in the West to refer to Chinese martial arts, also known as Wushu. For our purposes, we are interested in its original meaning. Kung fu can refer to any skill achieved through hard work and practice, not just martial arts.
In Chinese, Kung fu is a compound of two words: Kung - meaning "accomplishment", "achievement," and fu - meaning "person." So you could roughly translate Kung Fu Weight Loss as achieving mastery of your weight and by extension, your health too.
We live in a world that is hostile to having a normal weight.
Losing weight has become an epic battle. More than 66% of Americans are carrying around extra pounds and a full 35.7% are obese. Obesity related issues cost the U.S. $190,200,000,000.00 a year (that’s 190 billion!). Weight loss has become an national obsession. Today, 81% of Americans think obesity is a very serious problem.
It seems the more we focus on weight, the fatter we become.
Despite all of the attention and focus, Americans are getting fatter, not slimmer. In 2001, the U.S. Surgeon General issued a Call to Action to Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity. By any measure the Surgeon Generals Weight Loss Kung Fu was terrible. When the program started, no state had more than 30% of its citizens overweight, but by 2010, 12 states smashed through the 30% marker.5 Epic fail, but why? You cannot defeat extra fat head on.
The forces against being slim are too strong. Simply cutting back on calories and exercising doesn’t work. If it did, we would all look great in a bathing suit. Just like Chinese monks had to learn martial arts to be able to defend themselves from bad guys, you have to learn to thrive in a hostile environment that is pushing you to become fat and stay fat. You need new skills. You need weight loss kung fu. As you develop your kung fu, you will learn to protect yourself from modern food, lifestyle and misinformation. As a result, you will lose weight, look good and feel better.
