Picture yourself on a white sandy beach. A slight sea breeze sprays a mist of salt water across your face and over the crowded beach. You're at the mecca for the area's best bikini contest, Coconuts on the Beach, Cocoa Beach, Florida. It's 10 a.m. and like a Thanksgiving turkey, you've planned to baste your day away in the heat of the sun.

Being overweight isn't the only fringe "benefit' of watching too much television. The results of a study published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise suggests that young adults who view television two hours or more each day have poor muscular fitness, too.

Most often, when someone decides that they want to lose weight they begin a “diet." Dieting of any kind never works properly when taken to extreme measures. Generally, people who are desperate to lose weight approach dieting with that same desperation. In most cases, it doesn't work and it's not healthy. Any diet under 1,000 calories a day is starvation. You can't stay on it long term and not only is it not good for you, it's ultimately not safe.
