What Makes People Fat? It's Not Us, It's Our Ancestors PDF Print E-mail

With 65% of the US population overweight and more than 25% obese, the problem of our increasing weight gain has becomes more and more critical.  It all stared 10,000 years ago when our hunting ancestors needed to store energy during times of lack of food. In our society today there are few lean times. Nevertheless, the systems that evolved to store energy in our belly fat continue to operate especially in the face of very pleasing, energy reach foods that surround us all day. Perhaps most disturbingly, childhood obesity is rapidly increasing in many countries. Strong correlations exist between weight gain and the development of diabetes, heart disease, gall bladder disease, osteoarthritis, sleep, and mental disorders.

Reducing your calorie intact by only 100 calories a day for a year will do it. Obviously the time can be reducing by uping the calorie reduction and adding some exercise.  Why is sexual activity so related to body weight?

Weight Loss: Recipes, Special Foods and Diet Plans: Why The World Does Not Need More PDF Print E-mail
Written by Dr Lipman   
Thursday, 16 April 2009 03:20

Diet plans have all stalled. After years of low carb, high protein, low fat, counting calories, carbs, fats or points it turns out they are all the same. Three major studies released earlier this year show that by 6 months, almost all dieters have returned to the foods they like--you simply cannot expect people to eat foods they don't like, have trouble making, are too expensive or hard to get for more than a few months at the most. Counting anything is no better.

What the world does not need is another "diet plan" requiring the dieter to give up a certain food, or weigh, measure or count anything. We have all seen enough failed plans and should know that they don't work. People trying to lose weight are caught up in information overload. They are literally paralyzed because there is so much "noise" out there. No one knows how to get started. When they find a new plan, they try it, only to fail and regain the weight.
