Thanks to the failed food pyramid, the obesity rate steadily increased over the last few decades. Affecting up to 70 percent of the population of the United States, overweight status, obesity put significant drag on both the society and an individual with enormous economic, and health related costs.
Why blaming the victim does not help for obesity?[edit | edit source]
Although most people consciously or subconsciously tend to judge and blame the obese, in most situations, there are factors beyond the immediate control of the individual that cause weight gain such as [[insulin resistance.
What went wrong with our diet?Instead of blaming the victim for obesity, or yourself for obesity, it is important to understand what drives the weight gain, such as insulin resistance that affects up to 71 percent of the entire population out of which 35 percent already have metabolic syndrome. Confusing choices With over 20,000 books written on this topic with so much misleading information, let a trained practicing weight loss physician, Dr Prab R. Tumpati,MD educate you on the true science and art of obesity medicine. Why the food pyramid failed? The now withdrawn and failed food guide pyramid was a disaster as it advocated a low fat, but glycemic diet that leads to increased risk of insulin resistance which in turn causes weight gain. Metabolic starvation in the obese Most people that gain weight are not on a mission to gain weight intentionally. It is the paradoxical metabolic starvation that happens in the obese due to insulin resistance with a compensatory increase in the anabolic hormone called insulin that drives weight gain, hunger and metabolic starvation leading to food cravings, and weight gain! |
