“XL Factor”

London’s Fat Loss Expert, opens competition to find 8 morbidly obese people to lose 16 stone in 8 weeks. To highlight how simple it is to halt this global epidemic, the free fat fighting bootcamp will show that you can get radical results fast.

Obesity has become a major epidemic. The latest figures from the Department of Health survey , reveal 67% of men and 56% women are overweight or obese. For the first time in human history, the number of overweight people rivals the number of underweight people .

When you consider being overweight is linked to such diseases as coronary heart disease, type II diabetes, osteoarthritis and some cancers; you wonder why we are so carelessly signing our own death warrant with the junk food we throw into our bodies on a daily basis.

In an effort to stem this fatal disease, fat loss experts are asking Brits to consider what sacrifices they’ll make to their health in the name of convenience. In this busy modern life the convenience and appeal of ready meals, take-aways and eating on the fly means that we don’t always care what’s in it, as long as it looks ok, tastes nice and is quick and easy.

Unfortunately most don’t think about what’s going on inside and tend to concentrate on what they look like. So in an effort to make the outer beauty more appealing Brits are turning in their droves to magic miracle cures, diet pills and potions which promise to burn fat, increase your muscle tone and transform your figure in days.

Now, alarmingly, more hardcore methods are becoming widely accepted; botox in your break, filler in your free 5 minutes and lipo in your lunch hour. Over 16,000 cosmetic procedures were carried out in 2004 with the astounding year on year increase of 18% .

Nisha Obaidullah, a fat loss expert at Dax Moy Personal Training Studios, said, “Quick fix methods don’t solve epidemics. We need a societal approach rather than individual action and it requires change on a massive scale. Rather like global warming, it requires politics, science, business and civil partnership to attack such a global giant.”

In an attempt to start the ball rolling, Nisha is inviting applications from obese individuals who are seriously at risk of obesity related disease, to attend a 12 week course of fat fighting strategies, psychology and motivation tools, nutrition and exercise, designed specifically to help break habits, re-educate on a conscious and sub-conscious level and most importantly, get results fast!

The candidates will be chosen via a selection day held at the Islington studios on Tuesday 1st April. Those interested in applying should call the studios on 0207 354 3550, or email: info@daxmoy.co.uk. There are only 8 free places available so if you think it sounds right for you then be quick!
