CNN has a very interesting map showing the increase in Obesity rates across the nation. it’s an interactive map. So to see other years besides the one from my screen capture above, you will need to click the link to the CNN website. It’s amazing how fast our nation has put on the weight. Maybe it’s time for the old US to go on a diet.

Gaining weight while staying healthy
June 25th, 2007 — Fitness, Health, Weight Gain
For most people, gaining weight isn’t a problem. The problem they have is losing weight. But for some of us who have abnormally high metabolisms, gaining weight is a real challenge. I’ve always been skinny, no matter what I do. You would think, based on my lifestyle, that I wouldn’t have a problem gaining weight. I work a desk job, where I sit in front of a computer for 8 to 10 hours a day. I eat fast food for lunch most days, and snack on candy throughout the day. Dinner, if at home, usually consists of high fat TV dinners. Which of course, I eat in front of the TV. LOL If I eat out for dinner, it won’t be a salad or something healthy. It will be steak or chicken, with the loaded baked potatoes on the side. So I should have no problem gaining weight. But unfortunately I am still as skinny as I was in high school. In fact, I believe I weigh less now than I did through high school and college.
So that is why I was excited to find a fitness Blog with an entire post on how to gain weight. It has a whole list of things you can do and eat to gain weight in a healthy way.
