What the Diet, Drug Industry Doesnt Want You to Know About Weight Loss
Best Way to Lose Weight is to Flip Your Biological Switch, Expert Says
Obesity has become such an epidemic in the United States, the FDA is considering approving a new prescription weight-loss drug despite safety concerns about it.
It seems the health effects of being overweight override officials concerns about Qnexa, a drug the FDA rejected two years ago.
That shocks weight-loss expert Don Ochs, who says neither diets nor drugs are effective, long-lasting solutions.
When you understand the biology behind burning off fat versus packing it on, the whole notion of starving yourself on a low-calorie diet is absurd, says Ochs, developer of the physician-recommended Mobanu Integrated Weight Loss Solution (www.mobanu.com). And certainly taking a drug that can damage your heart is out of the question.
Heres what people should know about biology and weight loss, Ochs says.
Your body was designed to temporarily store fat because food was not consistently available to our ancestors. They relied on that stored fat to get them through famines, winters and dry seasons. That worked very well until we made huge advances in agriculture and food supplies became abundant and consistently available.
When food is plentiful, your body will quickly burn fat deposits those bulges you want to get rid of for energy. When food is scarce, it burns fat more slowly, to help ensure your survival. Thats why simply eating less is not the best way to lose weight. A low-calorie diet actually tells your body to store fat because food is in short supply.
You can control whether or not your body stores fat for survival or dumps it for an upcoming time of plenty by sending it the right signals. The types of food you eat, and how much you eat of them, send biologically ingrained messages to your body about whether to store fat or burn it just like flipping a switch.
