Fat Report: Florida Gets Fatter for 3rd Year in a Row
For the third year in a row, Florida got fatter and joins 15 other states who also saw a rise in adult obesity over last year reports Marni Jameson in The Orlando Sentinel.
In spite of all the free nutritional and weight loss advice online, tons of local weight loss programs like Calla Slimspa Medical Weight Loss Center, perfect sunny outdoor workout weather and weight loss inspiring shows like The Biggest Loser, Florida still got fatter. Even with bikini inciting weather year round, Florida got rounder. And we’re not the only ones, not one state in the country got thinner this year states the annual fat report.
But what is considered obese?
A BMI of 30 or above.
Overall, Florida ranks about 29th in the race for the fattest state in the nation. We’re about midway between the fattest state, Mississippi, and thinnest state, Colorado. Our obese population comprises 26.1% of the state and if you factor in overweight individuals as well then our combined score soars to 62.6%. As Jameson states “that means about two out of every three adults is obese or overweight (with a BMI of 25 to 29).”
If you need a visual of the change in our fat levels, check out the graphic below which illustrates the adult obesity rates per county in Florida from 2004 and 2008. And that graphic is over 3 years old. Since then we have only gotten fatter as a state.
From these statistics, it appears that South Beach is the only region in Florida that can claim hard bodies and beautiful people.
“Twenty years ago, no state had an obesity rate above 15%. Today, more than two out of three states, 38 total, have obesity rates over 25%, and just one has a rate lower than 20%,” states the report from Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Here are some of the other findings that Jameson lists on her article:
- 12 states have obesity rates over 30%. Four years ago, only 1 did.
- In Florida, the obesity rate has gone up 80% in 15 years. In 1995, it was 14.3%.
- Colorado, the thinnest state with a rate of 19.8%, would have been ranked as the fattest state in 1995. That year the fattest state was Mississippi, which had an obesity rate of 19.4%.
“The fact that America’s weight problem has mushroomed over the last 20 years is not a problem society can afford to ignore, the report emphasized. Obesity is related to more than 13 chronic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension, and is the biggest reason the nation’s health-care costs keep rising,” write Jameson.
But why has our weight mushroomed so exponentially?
“Our genes haven’t changed that much in thousands of years, but we have seen a rapid change in the environment, and that has interacted with our genetic propensity toward obesity,” said Dr. Steve Smith, an obesity expert and scientific director of the Florida Hospital Sanford Burnham Translational Research Institute, in Orlando.
Don’t be an obese statistic. Calla Slimspa’s medical weight loss program can help you achieve your weight loss goals while boosting your overall health, confidence and quality of life. Plus, we’ll also provide you with the knowledge to maintain your weight loss for the rest of your life!
But don’t take our word for it. Check out our patient testimonials to see what our actual patients have to say about the diet program.

Calla Slimspa: 2011 XL 106.7 Baby DJ Drop-Off Location
For the 2nd year in a row, Calla Slimspa Medical Weight Loss is proud to be a Baby DJ Drop-Off Location.
Help spread joy this holiday season by helping out parents in need. Parents who wish to make this holiday season joyful, merry and full of wonder gifts and holiday cheer. You can help these parents by picking up a few extra toys on your holiday shopping sprees and dropping them off at the Baby DJ box inside our office. We will make sure these gifts get to XL 106.7’s Baby DJ toy center so we can all help needy families celebrate the holidays with their children.
The founding program of Baby DJ, our holiday program has served thousands of needy families throughout Central Florida. The Baby DJ Christmas Fund allows children from economically disadvantaged families to experience the magic of Christmas. Since the implementation of our flagship program, we have been fortunate to be able to branch out into many other areas of service to our community. Each year, with the help of many dedicated volunteers from the community, Baby DJ touches the lives of thousands of Central Floridians.
About Baby DJ
The Baby DJ program began over 18 years ago when its founder “Johnny Magic” was inspired to provide assistance to families of economic disadvantage in the Central Florida area. As the host of Central Florida’s top rated morning radio show, Johnny has had the opportunity to spend a great deal of time working throughout the community and witnessed firsthand the struggle that many families experienced in providing their children with necessities, especially during the holiday season.
In past years, Baby DJ has worked in collaboration with other charitable organizations, lending our marketing resources, community connections, and sweat equity to make each campaign with which we have partnered a success. As we have grown, we have realized that our Baby DJ program has become more than just a campaign that operates in collaboration with other nonprofits. During the 2009 holiday season the number of requests for participation in the Christmas program was more than substantial, and a decision was made that this would be the last holiday season in which we operated under an established entity. It became apparent that Baby DJ had a life of its own, and that recruitment of a board of directors and incorporation as a distinct entity was necessary. Thus, in July of 2010 Baby DJ, Inc. was established as a Florida nonprofit corporation.
If you’d like to help local families in our community celebrate the joys of the holidays and spread holiday cheer throughout their family by providing their children with amazing holiday experiences, drop off a toy or two at our office in Winter Park.

Biggest Loser Coach Cara Castronuova: Tips for a Knockout Body
Fiesty female fighter, Cara Castronuova shook up the trainer mix in the 10th season of “The Biggest Loser” as one of new weight loss trainers. Cara, who has used boxing to get her through many of life’s road blocks, has the training philosophy of “make training a lifestyle.” Cara says “I have a ‘warrior mentality’ when it comes to training. It is necessary to live a good life and you have to do it, no matter what and who you are. Period.”
Cara offers the following tips for a knockout body:
- Add 3 set of 12 push-ups to every morning to your “getting ready” routine.
- Choose white lean protein before red meat.
- Accept your unfixable flaws and move on.
- Try a boxing class.
- Fill half of your plate with fresh veggies.
- Add intervals to your cardio routine.
- Eat fewer carbs at night.
- Wean yourself off of sugar and any sugary drinks.
- Do not starve yourself.
- Take classes at the gym for variety.
- Push yourself to new limits with every workout.
- Buy a “goal outfit” in the size you aspire to be and hang it where you can see it every day for inspiration.
- Do not eat foods that are full of preservatives and sodium. You will retain water and feel sluggish during your workouts.
- Cook for a few days and store food in portion-control sized containers and Ziploc bags so you are prepared when you are hungry.
- Attempt to understand what triggers you to overeat and fix it with ways besides eating.
- Make new workout goals for yourself constantly.
- Leave a set of hand weights near you TV so you can do a quick arm routine as you watch you favorite TV show. You may be compelled to throw in a few sets of squats and sit-ups.
- Aim for your best body, not someone elses.
- Buy a nick workout outfit or two to motivate you to workout.
- Don’t waste calories on drinks like lattes and soda. It isn’t worth it! Learn to love water.
