Obesity Myth
August 25, 2008 | 2 Comments
From my mom’s review of The Obesity Myth:
- It is healthier (from a mortality standpoint) to be 75 pounds overweight than 5 pounds underweight, if you are moderately active. Moderately active translates to four or five brisk 1/2-hour walks per week.
- Two persons of the same weight and height can respond to the same food in entirely different ways.
- Dieting is the problem, not the solution. Persons who go on calorie-restricted diets lose weight, then regain it, and gain more. The more often they diet the more they ultimately gain. There are few exceptions.
- There is no difference in mortality between persons of average weight and persons of higher weight in terms of overall health, when you control for levels of activity and type of food they eat.
