Some authors gave vague advice and not enough practical information. Others wrote in such excruciating detail that their plans were nearly impossible to follow. For example, just when people got the hang of counting calories or carbs, a slew of new books asked them to start tracking the glycemic index of foods. Most people don't need more numbers to calculate and another hoop to jump through! |

I don't advocate drinking any minimal amount of water above what you would drink normally based on your sense of thirst because I don't think there is evidence to support doing so. What I think is most important is replacing calorie-laden drinks with calorie-free water.

See book keywords and concepts |  But if blood sugar control is an issue for you, either because of stubborn weight problems or because of medical ones like diabetes, the glycemic impact of this delicious potato needs to be taken into account.
So let me be really clear: If you don't have blood sugar issues, sweet potatoes are a great food. And even if you do, eating them in reasonable amounts, as part of a mixed meal with some vegetables and some protein, is hardly the worst thing you could do. |

See book keywords and concepts | | In France, regardless of what you've heard about French women not getting fat, weight problems are common. Forty-two percent of French citizens are overweight or obese, and the percent goes up to 51 percent in some parts of the country.
Since the mid-1980s, the incidence of obesity has tripled in developing nations. As people gain weight, their risk of developing prediabetes and diabetes shoots up because these conditions result from the same dietary patterns. | | Eating foods that are high in sugar, refined carbohydrates, and trans fats induces endothelial dysfunction within minutes, and endothelial dysfunction is common in people with prediabetes, diabetes, and weight problems.
Inflammation is now regarded as the fundamental cause of coronary heart (artery) disease. Chronic low-grade inflammation damages the heart's major blood vessel walls, and the body deposits cholesterol in an effort to protect the arteries. Sustained inflammation weakens the cholesterol deposits, making them more likely to rupture and cause deadly clots in smaller blood vessels. |

See book keywords and concepts |  In the United States, 65 percent of the population is overweight or obese. weight problems usually occur first in the colon, and then in the other parts of the body. This waste accumulation may lead to a prolapsed transverse colon (illustration 9a), which in turn puts a great deal of pressure on the organs of the lower abdomen, including the urinary bladder, prostate or female organs. As a result, these organs may become dislocated, which causes them further structural and functional damage.

See book keywords and concepts |  Instead, we call this condition of rapidly fluctuating blood sugar "elevated glycemic volatility" and we have good reason to believe that elevated glycemic volatility is at the heart of most weight problems. What we have discovered is that rapidly fluctuating blood sugar levels are generally related to some degree of insulin resistance and made worse by wrong food choices (more than a moderate amount of high glycemic impact foods).

See book keywords and concepts | | There are quizzes to help you assess your risk of developing prediabetes or weight problems and a description of the most important medical tests for detecting prediabetes.
In the second and third chapters, we write about food addictions— why people just can't stop eating, and we tell you why some types of calories are worse than others in causing weight gain. We explain how food companies tempt people with practically irresistible foods and then accept no responsibility for contributing to prediabetes and overweight. |
Michael T. Murray and Michael R. Lyon
See book keywords and concepts | | People without weight problems benefit from a complex and properly working system of appetite control composed of compounds that circulate in the blood such as various hormones, peptides, neurotransmitters, and glucose, all of which are sensed and acted upon by the brain. People of normal weight don't tend to experience frequent and unhealthy food cravings, and they usually feel hungry at appropriate times. They are also inclined to feel satisfied when they have eaten modest-sized food portions that don't promote weight gain. |

See book keywords and concepts | | In one survey, nine out of ten Americans thought that most other people were overweight, but only about half of them acknowledged that they themselves had weight problems. Another study found that a majority of people didn't think being overweight was a serious issue except for extreme obesity, such as when someone weighed more than four hundred pounds.
Denial takes other forms, too. Wearing large-size clothes, such as baggy jeans, and sweatshirts, covers up embarrassing, overweight bodies. |

See book keywords and concepts |  You may even feel powerless to oppose their instructions and blame them for your weight problems, abandoning hope of ever gaining the upper hand. The good news is that you're wrong. Your genes are just following your current instructions and will follow new instructions that you'll learn shortly. In Part Two, you'll learn how to stop communicating these incorrect messages to your genes, as the first step to taking control of your health, your weight, and your life. | | You've been told repeatedly that our usual way of eating is terrible for you, and is the cause of all your health and weight problems, yet you're hooked on it, right? You're in good company. When Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, and Aleuts are exposed to the Western diet, they convert immediately. So do baboons, bears in Yellowstone Park, our dogs and cats, rats and monkeys, and other animals. By now, you understand that it's your genes, your programming, that make you want this stuff. But if it's so bad for you, why would your genes want you to eat it? | | With remarkable consistency, not only do their cholesterol problems disappear but also so do their weight problems, hypertension, diabetes, and arthritis. We've even established preventive and treatment programs at a local cancer center.
Most of what I've learned from the research on myself and thousands of volunteers flies in the face of what health professionals have been taught about health, diet, and chronic disease. It confirms, though, that we are genetically programmed to eat a diet that helps quickly reproduce our genes but is actually killing us-the body that houses them. |

See book keywords and concepts | | The key to reversing prediabetes and weight problems is simple in concept: cut back on the number of empty calories (mostly processed sugar and carbs) that you eat and drink, while increasing the amount of nutrient-dense foods that you consume. By following this approach, you'll get more "bang" for your nutritional "buck."
Eating habits can be especially difficult to change. They are shaped by our culture, our upbringing, peer pressure, our education, stress, our income, and the amount of time we have available to plan meals and cook. |

Michael T. Murray and Michael R. Lyon
See book keywords and concepts | | Research has shown that most people with weight problems eat quicker and swallow significantly more food in the same period of time as people with normal weight. The overweight person has a tendency to eat bite after bite of food in rapid succession, easily overeating before they even begin to feel that they have had enough. Certainly, one of the simplest and most effective strategies for losing weight is to practice eating slowly and learning to savor every bite. | | Helping to face weight problems head-on and giving the tools to solve them is what this book is all about.
OBESITY DEFINED
The simplest definition of obesity is an excessive amount of body fat. Obesity is not the same as being overweight, which refers to an excess of body weight relative to height. For example, a muscular athlete may be overweight, yet have a low body-fat percentage. With this distinction in mind, it is obvious that using body weight alone as an index of obesity is not entirely accurate. | | Most people with weight problems know that they have to change their eating habits, but they are fearful of losing the comfort and pleasure that food provides. Popular diets are appealing because they promise short-term solutions, but in reality, they don't address the real reasons why we are overweight—our eating habits.
Most people can occasionally muster up the courage to lose some weight through dieting. However, because diets don't reduce our appetite or help us change and improve our eating habits, we eventually gravitate back to our old habits again. |
Bottom Line Health
See book keywords and concepts | | Because it is very difficult to lose weight through diet and exercise, it's not surprising that more people are turning to bariatric, or gastric bypass, surgery to treat their weight problems.
But several new studies point out the risks that are associated with this procedure.
STUDY FINDINGS
One study conducted by researchers at the University of Chicago and the University of California, Irvine, found that the number of bariatric surgeries being performed in the United States have increased dramatically, from 13,365 in 1998 to an estimated 102,794 in 2003. |

See book keywords and concepts |  I was battling acne, weight problems, panic attacks—and I'm sure a few other things at the time—and realized I had to make some changes if I was ever to see sixteen. I was working at a health food store at the time but ironically had very little interest in trying any of the products to help myself (except for the "natural" candy, which had all of the sugar, fat, and calories as other candy bars). I bought breakfast, lunch, and sometimes dinner at the fast food establishment across the street and started smoking. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Food as a Drug
Unfortunately many people with weight problems use food as a drug, and many have food behaviors that can be properly classified as addictive behaviors—compulsive, self-destructive habits for which the addict has little control. You can't underestimate the potential potency of food as an addictive substance. Food stimulates powerful feelings of pleasure, feelings that are normal and healthy. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Indeed, for millions of years, we humans evolved with no hugely significant weight problems. In fact, only in the past 50 years has flab increased.
Until about 1980, obesity rates in this country hovered fairly consistently between 12 to 14 percent. But by 1980, the numbers dramatically rose, with 47 percent of U.S. adults aged 20 to 74 overweight and 15 percent of them obese. By 2002, those obesity statistics climbed even higher, with 65 percent of adult Americans now overweight or obese, as mentioned previously. |

See book keywords and concepts |  These are exactly the types of foods that, for the most part, are eaten in excess and that contribute to weight problems, heart disease, and many other insulin-associated conditions. Another problem is that the USDA sparingly recommends fats and oils. Any nutrition expert will tell you that essential fatty acids are crucial for good health, and most of the population is not consuming these fats. |
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts |  Obesity and weight problems, in particular, often have their origins in self image distortions formed during childhood without our conscious awareness. When we lack self esteem, we often turn to food to overcome feelings of despair, isolation or shame -- all of which might have been programmed into us by ignorant parents, teachers or siblings. Over time, the eating behavior stemming from these self image distortions leads to obesity and diabetes, and while conventional medicine says the treatment for obesity is a patented chemical, the real core of the problem is our self image. |
