Studies have stated, “The prevalence of obesity in Australia has more than doubled in the past 20 years” (Monash University Website, 2011).

Experts have said that if weight gain continues at the current levels, by 2020, 80% of all Australian adults and one third of children will be either overweight or obese (Monash University Website, 2011). . It has been shown that obesity has now overtaken smoking as the main cause of premature death and illness in Australia. The main problem area for overweight and obese humans is during the teenage years as shown in
