Yes.

It is kind of a drug for me. Go a few days without getting outside and feel like shite.

I concur. On Jan 1st 2018 I decided to walk 20,000,000 steps in 2,000 days. I am ahead of target and only need to average 8,500 steps to hit it. (by end June next year). Even when I cycle to the gym and then run on the dreadmill, I still need a walk outdoors…[Read more]

Anyone disagree with Bill Maher here?

I know of Doc F. diet. Have seen it work well short term. I do recall reading some long critique of it and it casting some doubt on the efficacy long term or was it the healthfulness?

I went from being a fit reasonably athletic kid to a twenty lbs overweight sendentary attorney. When i quit law i started a walking regimen. Just three miles out…[Read more]

this is also wrong autumn sorry, more lies and myths that have been circled in population for far too long.

Because most of the micronutrients we need are only needed in very small quantities and are readily present in available form commonly eaten foods with some exceptions or certain diet types.

I disagree. I think by not telling people the whole and honest to God truth, they don’t fully understand what’s happening to their body and they are not able to live their best lives.

That’s not a disagreement. I’m not advocating downplaying potential health impacts of obesity. Far fewer people are doing this than you might bel…[Read more]

Social media hate speech causes violence?

Well so what as long as cherished blah blah blah is preserved and mindless customs are sacrosanct.

Most people can get most of the micro nutrients they need without calculating daily values.

And you know this how? The truth is most people don’t get the micro nutrients they need. That’s why they over eat and constantly feel like they’re hungry when their body really does not need any more calories.

There are many necessary things from the body positive movement. It is a problem if the message downplays elevated health risks associated with obesity; however, a large part of the body positive movement exists to counteract harmful narratives. There is no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Unfortunately, this advice is often given to people who are overweight… And it’s wrong. There is so much wrong information out there it’s absolutely mind-boggling. No wonder nobody knows what to do!

It’s not really wrong; however, there is no one-size-fits-all approach.

I can’t really account for Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s work as I…[Read more]

….oh yah…one more thing: this whole “body positivity” movement – is also dangerous. Dr. Joel Fuhrman tells it like it is: “If you are carrying excess weight on your body, you are shortening your life span.” It’s a hard pill for people to swallow but it’s the truth! No matter who you are. Being “positive” about your body doesn’t mean that a…[Read more]

Rather than fixating on a particular diet one should look to a lifestyle change. Don’t see the desired weight as the target but rather seek to become as healthy as possible by combining any dietary changes with exercise.

The trick is not to wait to get to a target weight in order to start getting fit. Start the exercising first and good eating h…

One of the biggest dieting mistakes is to think there are easy fixes to be had. Rather than fixating on a particular diet one should look to a lifestyle change.

Do a significant number of doctors enable this?

I would expect so, just like they did in facilitating the opioid crisis with “pill mills” as what happened in various small towns in Virginia.  Example. With Hollywood slush funds involved, it would be no surprise.

In a debate about the pros and cons of GMO foods I was once told that “We should never eat them as they are made from inorganic chemicals that we really don’t know anything about and that we would be safer sticking with organically produced food instead.”
