Document Summary

Not only are getting more overweight, we"re getting more sedentary. Women: 166 lbs: the perception of how much the weight is going up isn"t parallel to reality, diabetes is increasing parallel to the increase in weight. Greater weight = greater insulin resistance: hippocrates. Even back then, there were concerns of weight gain. "those desiring to lose weight should perform hard work before food. They should take their meals after exertion and while still panting from fatigue. They should, moreover, eat only once a day and take no baths and sleep on a hard bed and walk naked as long as possible. : dr. robert atkins 1930-2003. Think of something you would like to eat. Thinking of it is satisfying enough to curb your appetite. Wet a cotton ball with orange juice or another juice and swallow it. When you get ice in the body, it melts using energy stored in the body. The idea is we would be losing calories.
