Why are so many Americans over weight?

Average weight of an American is over weight by 17 pounds but there is so many more people that are still over weight by much more. Some people think they are over weight because their traits, but anyone that is over weight can lose weight, they say it's because their traits for an excuse so that they don't have to exercise.

There are many reasons Americans are over weight.One reason someone can be over weight is they eat when their board, or when they don't have anything to do. Also when you are around allot of food like a thanks giving dinner just because you can eat allot doesn't mean you have to. People eat lot of junk food this can cause overweight allot; therefore, before you eat something look at the labels on the packing and see how much fat is in the food saturated fat is the worst for you.

Many Americans are over weight because they don't get enough exercise. People might not get exercise because they might be lazy; therefore, people would probably sit at home and play video games or watch T.V. Others may have a lack of motivation, which they don't have the right mental attitude. Over weight people may also have a busy schedule; as a result of a busy schedule people might have a long job or a family to worry about. A way you could get exercise is go to the Y.M.C.A, or a gym just for like half an hour and run on a treadmill after or before work if you have a job, and if you have kids to worry about take them with you they could play in the gym or somewhere to.Once you start a regular workout routine you should start a healthy diet.

Exercise is very good for the body and if we did it more the average overweight American would drop. Keep eating healthy and going to the gym allot.
