Healthy Weight Loss Challenged

There is one serious opponent of healthy weight loss in the United States, and most of the rest of the world for that matter. This opponent is the entertainment industry. I’ve heard far too many stories of people who were forced to lose a ridiculous amount of weight in a small amount of time just for a little photo shoot. I know these photos are important as we are a shallow bunch of entertainment lovers, but really…

Don’t even get me started on people who are already very thin and forced to lose even more weight. This practice of unhealthy weight loss is ruining lives. It is making people miserable and threatening their long term health. When will the entertainment industry start really caring about the people that make them millions of dollars? When will they learn what healthy weight loss is? When will they become human?

I don’t know that I’ll see it in my lifetime, but I’d like to think that it’s possible. Healthy weight loss is a real thing and it can be very effective. There are a lot of qualified professionals out there ready to offer sound advice to those who want to lose weight in a healthy manner. Unfortunately, the entertainment industry does not listen to these people. Instead they think they know it all. One day maybe their tune will change.

One can only hope…
