Are you one of the 58 million morbidly obese people in America today? Chances are, you've been on a diet after diet and failed miserably. But you should lay the blame where it belongs. You didn't fail the diet, nor did the diet fail you. Instead, look a little deeper and start to recognize that even if you could shed some excess pounds, the truth of the matter is that less than 1% of you will keep it off according to recent studies published by the National Institute of Health. The theory that obesity is not your fault is not exactly new. Many morbidly obese people are not eating two, three or four times the amount of food for their bodies to grow and store "that much" excess fat. Genetic research is showing that the cause for obesity is not gluttony. Many morbidly obese people lead very active lives despite the physical limitations and challenges brought about by carrying an extra hundred pounds or more. Everything from Leptin to Dopamine receptors are being offered as real scientific evidence to show that obesity is not your fault. Many people have blamed themselves for so long that the thought that obesity may not be your fault is often dismissed. While you may not "eat right" or "exercise regularly", there are millions of normal size people who are not suffering with morbid obesity and they eat worse and their exercise habits are no better than that of many morbidly obese people. Everybody knows somebody who seems to “eat and not gain”. Despite the closely held societal view that obesity is a matter of lack of self-control or lack of willpower, many people are beating themselves up for what is not their fault at all. In the newly published book on Weight Loss Surgery: Understanding & Overcoming Morbid Obesity, author and registered nurse Michelle Boasten offers a theory of obesity that helps the morbidly obese reader to understand and overcome morbid obesity through weight loss surgery. Boasten explains that obesity may be the result of a broken down communication system in the body...

There are currently 54 million people on a diet in the United States. The Gravity of Weight: A Clinical Guide to Weight Loss and Maintenance is perhaps the first comprehensive integration of the psychological and physiological aspects of the mind, brain, and body to explain why weight control seems so daunting for so many people. In The Gravity of Weight, authors Sylvia R. Karasu, M.D., and T. Byram Karasu, M.D., review more than 900 published reports, from some of the early classical papers to the most recent research, to synthesize information regarding the methodological issues involved in obesity research, the controversies regarding obesity as a disease with morbidity and mortality, discrimination against the obese, and the fat acceptance movement. The authors distinguish between weight loss and weight loss maintenance and detail the extraordinary metabolic complexities, from adipose tissue to set point, involved in weight control. They explore the importance of genetics and psychological predisposition, as well as the contribution of the environment in sabotaging weight loss efforts, the importance of exercise and sleep, and the relevance of circadian rhythms to weight. They also review some of the most popular diets, including the significance of calories, as well as the psychotherapeutic, pharmacological, and surgical options that are currently available for the overweight and obese.

Includes a bonus CD-ROM with recipes and more A provocative look at how eliminating wheat from our diets can help us lose weight, shrink unsightly bulges, and reverse a broad spectrum of health problems--from acne to diabetes and serious digestive disorders. Since the introduction of dietary guidelines calling for reduced fat intake in the 1970s, a strange phenomenon has occurred: Americans have steadily, inexorably become heavier, less healthy, and more prone to diabetes than ever before. After putting more than two thousand of his at-risk patients on a wheat-free regimen and seeing extraordinary results, cardiologist William Davis has come to the disturbing conclusion that it is not fat, not sugar, not our sedentary lifestyle that is causing America's obesity epidemic--it is wheat. How this once-benign grain--now genetically modified almost beyond recognition and found in virtually every course of every meal--has come to have such a profound and deleterious effect on our collective well-being is one of the great untold health stories of our generation. In Wheat Belly, Dr. Davis exposes the truth about modern-day wheat, deconstructing its historical role in the human diet and the agricultural evolutions that have created a hybrid grain that has a greater impact on blood sugar levels than pure cane sugar and many of the addictive characteristics of a narcotic. He sheds light on wheat's connection to weight gain as well as to a host of other adverse effects from diabetes to heart disease to immunologic and neurologic disorders like celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and dementia. Finally, to help listeners dependent on wheat products make the move to a wheat-free diet, he presents a clear-cut action plan packed with food and lifestyle tips, meal plans, and recipes. Informed by decades of clinical research and backed by case studies of men and women who have experienced life-changing transformations in their health after waving good-bye to wheat, Wheat Belly is an illuminating look at a familiar food as w...
