The story begins Charles Olanyk was a morbidly obese man who weighed in at 460 pounds in 2001 at the age of 51. He was a very big guy and as a result of his morbid obesity he had several health problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, lack of mobility and other problems you would imagine associated with someone being that large.

One day Charles Olanyk accidently stubbed his toe and subsequently decided to treat the injury himself with a heated pad, but probably due to his diabetes and the lack of sensation in his lower limbs, he somehow managed to inflict on himself, third degree burns.

He then as a result of his injury, visted his Doctor, Dr Bookwater who had been treating him for leg ulcers. On examining the injury Dr Bookwater gave Charles a tropical cream and some antibiotics and sent him home expecting the problem to heal.

Unfortunately for Charles Olanyk the injury became gangerous, because of the advanced state of diabetes and Charles’s lack of looking after himself properly (after all he was over 450 pounds), consequently Charles Olanyk had to have his leg removed below the knee.

All this is very sad but Charles is now $1.6 millon better off, as a jury awarded Olanyk damages stating that Doctor Bookwater should have referred him immediately to a burn doctor.

In reply to the judgement Dr Bookwater said ” In the end everybody’s health care costs will go up because this guy could not take care of himself”.

  Heck they even have massive multi level marketing networks dedicated to them.

 But the multi billion dollar weightloss and fitness industry nearly all have one thing they claim that all you have to do is follow their program of pills, or buy their fitness machines & your weightloss will be automatic & EASY.

 Trouble is we all want to believe their is an easy route to our success none of us want to take the hard option if all we need to do is pop a pill or jump on the new wonder machine for 10 minutes and let it do all the work.

 Nothing could be further from the truth. Let’s face it, weightloss is DIFFICULT.

  Remember, if it weren’t, then EVERYONE would be thin. Are they?

 Nope.

 So please don’t be naïve into believing that it’s a piece of cake and some super cure will take care of everything for you. Even if it existed do you really think it would be a one time thing …

 Of course not the reasons these companies make so much money is people keep coming back for more and more week after week month after month , even year after year.

 Now let me let you into a secret with few exceptions all of these products actually work while you take them or use them but then again so does anything else like walking,dieting, going to the gym, swimming that’s not the problem if you used the ab what ever or kept taking the fat cruncher pill you would lose weight (do you really want to be popping pills which even the manufacturers can’t be sure what will happen in years to come?)

 Truth is Weightloss is DIFFICULT and it will always be, however, once you conquer it & get to a healthy weight, the increase in self-esteem and confidence you’ll get will make you wonder why you hadn’t lost the weight earlier.

 If you need more help in getting to your weightloss goals and then sustaining them you need a program which can be easily maintained so make sure you sign up for the Dreambody News Letter at the top of the page which is packed every week with great weight and beauty tips.
