Havens for the Heavy-- Which Are America's Fattest Cities?
The residents of Houston just won a dubious distinction that will hit them right at their waistlines.Among "fat cities," Houston ranks No. 1, followed by Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia and Dallas, according to results released on Good Morning America on January 3.
The survey looks at 16 different categories, such as how well city residents fare in nutrition, exercise and sports participation, and to what extent they embrace poor health choices, such as smoking, drinking and excessive TV watching.
To figure out each city's fat content, researchers tallied the number of fast food joints per city, checked out the average length of commutes (the longer the ride, the higher the chance of excess fat), examined air and water quality and explored parks and recreational facilities.
Medical experts say that America's rising obesity stems from a society that has grown increasingly automated, where fast food is cheap and easy.
But if you live in a "fat city," that doesn't mean your own destiny is high-density. In modern society, obesity is partially related to not having a lot of money, one doctor said.
"Part of it is that fatty food is cheap," said Paul Thompson, a cardiologist at Hartford Hospital, in Hartford, Conn. A couple of slices of pizza is cheaper and easier than what you'll find at the health food store.
Plus, for many of us, a natural exercise such as - walking to work - just isn't feasible.
Some experts have pointed out that while food has grown increasingly cheap, getting exercise can be costly.
"The whole concept of getting folks lean is to reverse the process," Thompson suggested. "Make exercise cheap and food more expensive."
Experts offer some simple weight loss tips to get the fattest city dwellers started on a healthier lifestyle.
Cut out one soft drink a day, instead drinking 6 to 8 glasses of water a day
Walk at least one block a day
Getting 30 minutes of exercise a day , walk up steps instead of taking the elevator.
Eat more vegetables and fruits
Sleeping 8 hours a night

Lose Pounds With Your Hound
Bear is 30 pounds overweight, and when the vet examined the dog, he felt an extra layer of jiggle where he should have felt ribs. Meanwhile, Neiland wants to drop 50 pounds.
"I tried Weight Watchers, I was doing some online thing and was able to stick to it for about two weeks and then just kind of fell off the wagon," Neiland said.
They're not the only pet and pet owner who have edged into a heavy zone.
Over 60 percent of adult Americans are now overweight or obese, and an estimated 60 million cats and dogs in the U.S. are overweight or obese. That is 50 percent of the pet population.
To try to combat the trend, the Wellness Institute at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago and Hill's Pet Nutrition have teamed up for a new research study, a 12-month weight management program for people and their pets. The nutrition and exercise program aimed at satisfying pet owners, their heavy hounds, and their chunky cats will be run in the Chicago area, and is called People and Pets Exercising Together (PPET).
Under the program, people and their pets eat together, exercise together, and weight in together, based on the theory that the buddy system will help pets and their owners lose weight. It calls for counting calories, and having pets and their owners exercise together for 30 minutes daily.
Now Neiland and Bear will work on achieving their weight loss goals as a pair.
"It will be something to entice me to get out and walk with him, and it's good for both him and myself," Neiland said.

Spotlight on obese kids
Children are getting so fat they may be the first generation to die before their parents, an expert claimed yesterday.Today's youngsters are already falling prey to potential killers such as diabetes because of their weight.
Fatty fast-food diets combined with sedentary lifestyles dominated by televisions and computers could mean kids will die tragically young, says Professor Andrew Prentice, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
At the the same time, the shape of the human body is going through a huge evolutionary shift because adults are getting so fat.
Here in Britain, latest research shows that the average waist size for a man is 36-38in and may be 42-44in by 2032. This compares with only 32.6in in 1972.
Women's waists have grown from an average of 22in in 1920 to 24 ins in the Fifties and 30in now.
One of the major reasons why children now are at greater risk is that we are getting fatter younger.
In the UK alone, more than one million under-16s are classed as overweight or obese - double the number in the mid-Eighties. One in ten four-year-olds are also medically classified as obese.
The obesity pandemic - an extensive epidemic - which started in the US, has now spread to Europe, Australasia, Central America and the Middle East.
Many nations now record more than 20 per cent of their population as clinically obese and well over half the population as overweight.
Prof Prentice said the change in our shape has been caused by a glut of easily available high-energy foods combined with a dramatic drop in the energy we use as a result of technology developments.
He is not alone in his concern. Only last week one medical journal revealed how obesity was fuelling a rise in cancer cases.
Obesity also increases the risk factor for strokes and heart disease as well as a diabetes.
An averagely obese person's lifespan is shortened by around nine years while a severely obese person by many more.
Prof Prentice said: "So will parents outlive their children, as claimed recently by an American obesity specialist?
"The answer is yes - and no. Yes, when the offspring become grossly obese. This is now becoming an alarmingly common occurrence in the US.
"Such children and adolescents have a greatly reduced quality of life in terms of both their physical and psychosocial health."
So say No to that doughnut and burger

Blame beer gut on genes
A Beer-gut gene that gives fellas flabby tummies has been discovered by scientists.
The medical breakthrough proves that guzzling ale is not the only reason why men develop saggy stomachs. They can also inherit from their parents a body make-up much more likely to run to fat.
The beer-gut gene was tracked down by Italian experts. They found that men with a particular variant of it called DD were twice as likely to get fat. And they are also significantly more likely to put on the pounds around their midriff.
Dr Carol Cooper said: "This sounds like a New Year's gift for all those guys who are tubby round the middle but aren't ready to give up the trips to the boozer. You're stuck with the genes you're born with, which could be just the excuse lardy lads who like a drink are looking for."
Dr Pasquale Strazzullo warned the findings might not apply to British men - because the research was based entirely on Italians.

Fat mice give clue to drug against obesity
A chemical switch that tells cells when to burn fat and when to store it has been discovered in mice, paving the way for new drugs that could one day be used to control obesity and cholesterol.
Scientists at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, have identified a receptor in mouse cells that supervises how fat is used in the body and influences the ease with which mice put on weight.
If a similar regulator exists in human beings, which is likely, it would be a promising target for drugs that stimulate the burning of fat to fight the developed world's growing obesity epidemic. Genes that carry the blueprint for receptor, PPARd, could also help to explain why some people seem to eat what they like and remain thin, while others find that every extra calorie goes straight on to the waistline.
Experiments revealed that when PPARd was stimulated, mice used up fat deposits and lost weight, while mice with low PPARd activity were prone to obesity.
Mice with a highly active version weighed about 20 per cent less than normal mice at birth, and 35 per cent less at the age of one. The active receptor also protected mice against obesity when fed a high-calorie and high-fat diet. The findings are published today in the journal Cell.
