Dr. Ian Smith, the medical and diet expert on VH1's highly rated "Celebrity Fit Club" and State Farm's 50 Million Pound Challenge, provides commentary in the Special Features section and endorses the video as the perfect DVD for those in the plus-size market as it takes into account the advantages and challenges of exercising for those who are overweight. Dr. Smith recommends "Battle of the Bulge" as a tool that "will not only help you lose weight, but it will change your life."
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, data from two NHANES surveys show that among adults aged 20-74, the prevalence of obesity increased from 15.0% in the 1976-1980 survey to 32.9% in the 2003-2004 survey. Being overweight or obese increases the risks of many diseases and health conditions including hypertension, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, dyslipidemia (high cholesterol), gall bladder disease, some forms of cancer, and others. "Battle of the Bulge" is a tool that will help those who fall in the 32.9% category to lose weight and help eliminate or reduce the health risks associated with being overweight or obese.
"Battle of the Bulge" is currently available for purchase online and at
major retails outlets.
