Not chubby. Not carrying 10 extra pounds. Diabetes, heart disease, and cancer can result from a body mass index BMI —a measurement that compares height and weight—of more than 30, which is diagnostic for obesity. To make matters worse, our childhood obesity rates are startlingly bad: According to the Colorado Health Foundation, in the past handful of years our children have gone from the third leanest to the 23rd leanest in the nation.
Of course, that we are still comparatively trim is a good thing. Instead, organizations like LiveWell Colorado, the Tri-County Health Department, the Colorado Health Foundation, and the Colorado Department of Health and Environment are trying to find ways—through funding, policy changes, and legislation—to help Coloradans make healthier choices and to provide access to healthier food.
People moved away from cities. Walking to, well, anywhere became impossible. Add to that the proliferation of inexpensive, high-calorie, processed foods, and you have a recipe for a fat population. Now, experts say we have to swing back the other direction. We need to decrease our intake of processed foods, a step that involves more than just choosing a salad over a frozen dinner for many people.
People often end up shopping at the corner store, where the best thing they have is an old brown banana. But redesigning our environment to fit these specifications can and will take many years—years that some Coloradans in particular, and Americans in general, may not have in the fight to counteract obesity.
Which is why we wanted to find out how healthy Coloradans—the ones who seem to be keeping our obesity rates lower than normal—stay that way. Earlier this year, we partnered with Resolution Research, a Denver market research firm, to survey Coloradans about their health habits. We asked these Coloradans about everything from how much they exercise to what they snack on. We also administered a survey at The results were insightful, surprising, sometimes mystifying, and, we hope, ultimately helpful to anyone who needs a nudge in a healthier direction.
Hoping to delve into the mystery of why our state has stayed on the good end of skinny, we surveyed residents about their health habits. To participate in the survey, respondents had to consider themselves either moderately or very healthy; they must have never experienced obesity-related illnesses or obesity-related symptoms; and they had to agree that they exercised at least one time per week.

Most of the people at the gym I work out at have a lot of outdoor activities that supplement their gym regimens.
Biking, hiking, running, skiing, kayaking, etc. And in my case, polo on horseback. All very athletic endeavors. Even those who feel that they are past the age for the extremeness of mountain biking or skiing, at least walk every day. Anyplace good in Colorado is most likely uphill!
LOL This adds to the burning of excess calories. A shining example is last weekends "Pikes Peak Ascent and Marathon. I believe it sold out in under 3 days this year! I'll race ya! Most of my associates tend to eat more nutritiously than in other parts of the country that I have lived. I haven't met a lot of vegans, and only a few vegetarians, as most people tend to eat meals that are in balance.
Even, not too large, portions of protiens, carbs and fiber-rich foods that can be quickly assimilated, burned off and digested. In addition, due to the inherently, and sometimes excessively, dry climate, we drink A LOT of water! This also helps to flush excess fats and retained toxins from our bodies and keeps us effectively hydrated which also helps to keep everything in balance as well as filling us up with zero-calorie fluid. I don't really believe that everyone in Colorado is necessarily focused on being "the fittest" or "the skinniest" state, we just love to be outside, doing fun things, and don't over eat because we filled up on water!
IMO, of course! Originally Posted by bluescreen In most states, an 8. Even the out-of-state visitors get caught up in it. In Colorado, an 8.
