by food activists, those militant, vegetable-eating terrorists. Oh my!
These are the same companies that espouse the wonders of pesticides and oppose bans on smoking in public places. The group defines its mission as fighting against “a growing cabal of food cops, health care enforcers, militant activists, meddling bureaucrats, and violent radicals who think they know what’s best for you, [who] are pushing against our basic freedoms.”
“Don’t believe your eyes,” implies the Center for Consumer Freedom. The Center maintains that contrary to all the observable data, we are
not
a fat nation. It’s just all those food fascists confusing us, including food and nutrition experts from Yale, Harvard, and similar second-rate institutions. What’s scariest is that this industry front group has more than 100,000 Facebook likes.
What’s the group’s advice? “Instead of focusing solely on food, focuson physical activity.” Really? Remember, you have to run for four miles every single day for one week to burn off just one supersize fast-food meal. But of course
that
doesn’t show up anywhere in the Center’s report.
My counsel is this: Don’t believe the sensational headline hype, and don’t take health advice from industry front groups. Do pay attention to the toll that excess weight is taking on your vitality. Because what a huge body of scientific literature really shows us is that obesity comes with a whole set of metabolic changes and imbalances that create a smoldering fire of pre-disease that often leads to full-blown disease.
There are a very few people who can be overweight and metabolically healthy, but they are anomalies. Most have dangerous inflamed belly fat, abnormal small cholesterol particles (the ones that cause heart attacks), high blood pressure, and high levels of insulin, causing both insulin and leptin resistance. Their sex hormones are messed up, causing sexual dysfunction in men, and infertility, hair loss on the head, facial hair, abnormal menstrual cycles, and acne in women. Their blood is inflamed and more likely to clot and cause heart attacks and strokes. Their risks of breast, colon, prostate, pancreatic, liver, and kidney cancer are increased. Their excess weight overloads their joints, causing arthritis and mobility issues. And many have depression, memory problems, and “pre-dementia,” all caused by hormones and biochemistry disrupted by belly fat. In fact, Alzheimer’s is now being called type 3 diabetes.
So no, it is not wise to kick back and think you are fine if you are a bit overweight. Get your biomarkers tested and really find out. The basic tests you need are listed here .

MYTH #5: EXERCISE IS THE KEY TO WEIGHT LOSS
If you think you can exercise your way to weight loss, I am sorry to say you are in for a big disappointment. Do you treat yourself to a post-workout sugar-laden smoothie, muffin, or other “healthy” snack? Suckback some Gatorade to quench your thirst after your thirty minutes on the treadmill? While some after-sports snacks can help enhance repair and recovery, for most of us, unless you are an endurance athlete or run around like Kobe Bryant for forty-eight minutes on the basketball court at full speed, they are causing more harm than good. In fact, using exercise to lose weight without changing your diet is asking for failure. You can change your diet and lose weight, but if you exercise and keep your diet the same, you may gain some muscle, improve endurance, and be healthier overall, but you won’t shed many pounds.
Remember, if you consume one twenty-ounce soda, you have to walk four and a half miles to burn it off. If you consume one supersize fast-food meal, you have to run four miles a day for one whole week to burn it off. If you eat that every day, you have to run a marathon every single day
