Obesity is the plague of the new millenium. Since the beginning of the 20th century, obesity has claimed more lives than all wars, violent events and dictatorships combined, including World War I, World War II, genocides, civil wars, man-made famines and communism. The vast majority of our modern day diseases such as type-2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer, arthritis and many others are closely related to obesity. The common feature of these ailments is that they are all lifestyle diseases and in many cases they can be prevented by simply adopting a healthy lifestyle.
Have you ever wondered why there are fat doctors? Physicians treat all sorts of diseases; they are the experts on the physiology of the human body. However, despite their expertise, they can be just as obese as the rest of us. Did you ever think we might have been given the wrong advice? How does mainstream medicine treat obesity? What kind of guidance were we given? Eat less, exercise more. Avoid fat, eat more fruits and vegetables. Count calories. Drink four glasses of milk every day. Eat six meals a day. Snack between meals. Take multivitamins and mineral supplements. It’s the perfect recipe for disaster, as people are just getting more and more obese every year.
This is not just a regular diet book, but a comprehensive study on the causes of and treatments for obesity. Personally, I do not believe in dieting at all. Diets simply fail in the long run, all of them. Once the program is over, within a few months or a year, the pounds will gradually come back. In order to achieve long-lasting results, you need to completely change your lifestyle; a temporary fix is not enough. In this book, I will share with you the secret of permanent weight loss. Obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and many modern day ailments have the same underlying cause: an unhealthy lifestyle. If you treat the root of these conditions, you will not only get rid of the extra pounds, but you will also prevent most of our modern day lifestyle diseases.
