Q & A Session

Q: How did they try losing weight?

A: The “old school way” – by eating less, exercising more and switching to a more healthful diet.

Q: Why Did So Many People Fail to Lose Weight?

A: Eating less and exercising more doesn’t work! It has been the “solution” for weight loss for, at least, the past 50 years and the rate of obesity and being overweight is growing – almost exponentially – for adults and children, alike.  And, it sets up the Yo Yo Dieting affect!

Q: Why Was the Study Limited to Short Term Weight Loss?

A:  People “… switched to a more healthful diet, at least, in the short term”  – then, they stopped when the study concluded.  That’s the Yo Yo Dieting Affect – in a nutshell!

You can probably guess what happened, after the study. People returned to their old habits of eating “stuff”, instead of “things”.  That choice is what dooms people to a fate of being fat, tired and sick.  They lose weight gain it back.  That’s called the Yo-You Affect.

Q: What’s the difference between “Stuff” and “Things”?

A. “Things” are food that have a proper name. Tomato, for example, is a thing. Home cooked meals – things.
“Stuff” is a food brand or vernacular name. Kethup, for example, is stuff. Take out, fast food and freezer food – stuff.

Q: How to recognize the difference between Things and Stuff?

A: Stuff is:

Packaged in flashy:

Boxes
Bags
Cans

Advertised in:

Various media, depending on the target audience
Feature some sort of mascot, model or spokesperson

Occupy

Most of the shelves in the Supermarkets, Gas Stations, Convenience Stores & Vending Machines

Contain

White flour
table salt,
Sugar (table and of course: high fructose fruit juice, tropical fruit and corn syrup)
Preservatives, color & taste enhancing chemicals

A (continued):  Things – DON’T CONTAIN ANY OF THE STUFF LISTED ABOVE

Here are the “take aways” from this report:

  1. The Yo Yo Dieting Affect is:  Lose weight gain it back.  Eating mostly “things” will produce weight loss and health. Eating mostly “stuff” will produce weight gain and unhealth (Is that even a word?).
  2. Regardless of what you hear or read, or what the label on the factory food you’re consuming says – “stuff” is not a “thing”.
  3. If your objective to Avoid the Yo Yo Dieting Affect and to lose weight and/or to protect or improve your health, you need to be consuming more “things” than “stuff”.
  4. Many, if not most, of the weight and health challenges you will face can be traced back to one diagnosis:
    “Hand to Mouth Disease”.
  5. Use Professional-grade supplements to fill any gaps in your diet that your life dictates.  « learn more  »
