I dug out the UK BMI stats 2005-2011 inclusive, out of interest....

Read what an Aussie doctor has to say about obesity.

Interesting stuff. The latest figures I could find for Australia were 2008 and gave 24% as obese and 37% overweight. So quite similar to UK.

Interesting! I wonder what happened in 2009/2010? Was there a big diet craze then? Atkins was back in 2004-ish I think.

Weight at start: 105 kg; dress size UK 20
Target, 65 kg, reached 15 May 2014 - 18 months after my first fast
Current weight: 66.4 kg; dress size UK 8-10
Maintenance weight range: 64-67 kg
My method: 8 months of 5:2, remainder and maintenance 16:8 + low carbs

In the U.S. it is much more gloomy. According to the CDC in 2009-2010 35.7% of the adult population was obese.
