Introduction
Welcome to Reality!
Perhaps youve struggled with weight issues your whole life. Or maybe youve found yourself steadily putting pounds on since middle age. Perhaps its leftover pregnancy weight that you just never got around to losing. Or maybe youve developed a habit of eating under stress. Whatever the reason, you realize that you need to lose weight and are looking for a diet that works.
But how do you choose? There are thousands of diet books out there, plus hundreds of other programs that claim astounding results. Is it really possible to lose thirty pounds in thirty days? Or to feel satisfied substituting meals with shakes? Or to lose ten pounds of belly fat in two weeks? Or to lose weight and improve your health without counting calories, worrying about portions, or even exercising? Beware the money-back guarantees and promises of effortless weight loss. The only guarantees in life are death and taxes.
If dieting were easy, we would be a nation of supermodels. Instead, 60 percent of American adults are currently overweight, and half of those are clinically obese. And this is in spite of how often we hear about the very serious health risks of obesity: heart disease, diabetes, cancer, depression, and infertility. Clearly, the weight-loss industry has not lived up to its promises.
Most of the fad diets out there are calorie restrictive. They dont tell you that because they want you to believe they know some special secret. Theres no miracle ingredient in their shakes or patented weight-loss ingredient in their prepared foods. By telling you certain foods are bad for you, theyre just forcing you to eat less by limiting your choices. Besides, is it realistic never to eat a potato, a piece of watermelon, a bunch of grapes, or a carrot stick again? Last time I checked, Bugs Bunny was very skinny. Are we that gullible as a society?
Im not a nutritionistIm a cardiologist. As president of one of South Floridas largest cardiology practices, I see patients every day who are experiencing the life-threatening effects of excess weight: diabetes, clogged arteries, hypertension, high cholesterol, heart attack, and stroke. I also see patients who are suffering side effects from fad dietsdizziness, irregular heartbeat, high cholesterol, even life-threatening cardiovascular events. You dont have to be an M.D. to realize that a diet of unlimited bacon, eggs, and heavy cream will clog your arteries. If I were in medicine purely for the money, Id be grateful to all these trendy weight-loss plans for sending so many sick patients my way. But Im notwhat gets me through my day is helping my patients live longer, healthier lives. Seeing more and more of them compromising their health when they honestly believed they were doing something good for themselves made me mad. So I hit the books, reading everything I could get my hands on about human nutrition, metabolism, and obesity.
