The Skinny on Weight Loss

June 3, 2012 by tk

Did you know that if you have a couple extra pounds it is actually not your fault?

Your body has full control over your body fat and how much you do and do not have. Exercise and dieting is only a temporary solution and you cannot lose weight permanently with those strategies alone. Want to know why this is and what you can do about it?

Check out this series of videos. This is required viewing by all our nutrition clients and should be required viewing for every parent in America! It is by far the best I have found explaining our exploding weight and health concerns in America. It is called “The Skinny on Obesity” and was created by experts from UCSF. It discusses:

Is sugar a toxin that’s fueling the global obesity epidemic? That’s the argument UCSF’s Dr. Robert Lustig made in “Sugar: The Bitter Truth,” a 2009 UCTV video that’s since gone viral and sparked a national dialogue. In “The Skinny on Obesity,” a 7-part series from UCTV Prime, Dr. Lustig and two of his UCSF colleagues tease out the science behind this alarming claim and the dire threat it poses to global public health.

The Skinny on Obesity Part 1

What you will learn: Why you will cannot create permanent weight loss with diet and exercise. How we have created the perfect storm for obesity and chronic disease.

The Skinny on Obesity Part 2

What you will learn: You will learn that a calorie is not a calorie and why sugar is a problem for our body. How we have created a toxic food environment that is causing us to be sick.

The Skinny on Obesity Part 3

What you will learn: You will learn about the hormone that tells us to stop eating and to spontaneously want to exercise to maintain our body composition and why it has stopped working in the last 30 years. You will also learn about the hormone that triggers fat! Watch this one carefully. It will tell you exactly why (at a hormonal level) restricting calories will not work. Most importantly, that weight gain is a biochemical reaction created by the ‘type of calories” we consume that forces us to gain weight (we have no choice).

The Skinny on Obesity Part 4

What you will learn: You will learn about will power and why we cannot win over a biochemical reaction that is pushing us 24/7 to eat more and move less. Also, the stimulating effect on our brain’s reward center.

The Skinny on Obesity Part 5

What you will learn: This one really scares us and everyone needs to listen to this one carefully. You will learn that potential calibration for obesity is determined by the insulin levels in the baby before it is born. A baby’s insulin levels are determined by the mother’s health/diet even before conception. What this means is we need to focus on the young people before they start determining the next generation’s issues. The kids of today will determine the health of our future. Based on the health of our kids today, it does not leave a warm and fuzzy outlook. Right now, we are seeing for the first time in the history of the world, life span is going down.

The Skinny on Obesity Part 6

What you will learn: Stress plays an important role in our body composition. Find out what happens to body fat by just reducing stress levels.

The Skinny on Obesity Part 7

What you will learn: You will learn why all this matters to you, even if you are not overweight. It is money coming out of your pocket and it is the security of our country at risk. Public health care officials consider regulation when four criteria are met, find out what they are and if over-consumption of sugar meets those criteria.

This is important information that needs to be viewed by every parent in America. The parents of America need to be educated on this problem now. Our kids cannot wait for policy to be implemented — it will be too late for them!

You can help solve this problem! You have already taken the first step by educating yourself. Now is the most important part — you have to share this information with other parents that you know.

Go to the bottom of this post and share on Facebook (or social media of your choice) and help spread this important message.
