A large part of the Spanish adults suffers from a serious weight gain problem, and most of it, as a more frequent solution, faces it with fast, severe, or miracle meals in which many health risks and those that, despite all their efforts, are running to a return to the exit box. This is the conclusion of a study conducted by the MAPFRE Foundation and the experts of the Spanish Academy of Nutrition and Nutrition, which they went through for 3,150 Spanish from all independent societies.
The report shows that the overweight problem is present and is widespread. Something more than half of the Spaniards, 52 %, have weight gain or are already in obesity classification. According to the respondents themselves, seven out of ten adults adopted in life a strategy for losing weight and on average has been set at least seven times. Of course, this statistical average is not completely real, because women admit that they have started meals at double times of men.
When treating weight loss, the majority, 53 %, has been on their own responsibility, after a kind of common abbreviation or miracle diet, the vast majority without any scientific support, which not only put their health in danger but did not serve them practically from anything. These types of strategies do what is popularly known as rubber. On average, the respondents indicate that they lost about six kilograms in each attempt, but in the short term they ended up recovering more than five.
