RE: Public health experts say that cutting 50 calories a day (to end obesity)...

What kind of lunacy is this?
There once was a fad including the 1980s book The 200 Calorie Solution ~ How to Burn an Extra 200 Calories a Day and Stop Dieting
By Martin Katahn. Problem is the body’s “set point” to maintain equilibrium made the metabolism accept the new lower calorie intake and adjust to it so it could gain weight as usual. Really disappointing to me.

I have tried all sorts of diets and weight reduction schemes but my thyroid does not permit me to have its permission to lose weight.

They just need to make the doors really narrow.

Obese shoppers can’t fit through to get food until they’re thin enough.

> Supermarkets will reportedly be required to make significant changes to their stores as part of a government crackdown on obesity. <

The instant I read that, I didn’t have to go any further. I knew the soft-fascist UK government would be involved.

I must be psychic.

Funny lawsuit a few years ago was brought to court by a woman who said she ate the food companies various “diet” items, “low fat” “low calorie” “Weight Watchers” “Dr. Praeger” “Jenny Craig” and “Atkins” type foods for years and years and did not lose weight.
The judge declared it was “not a serious matter” and dismissed the case.

If you think about it, she was right. Even with exercycles, jogging, weights and so on, and eating the “diet” foods, most people quickly gain back their old fat each time anyway.
The PBS special The Truth About Fat was terribly depressing. Even the famous Biggest Loser victors were interviews 2 or 3 years later and were dangerously obese.

The human body is trying to “help” us by saving our lives if there is an ice age again. The fat ancestors survived to have children in the old ice ages and we carry their genes.

If, as the article claims, three out of five people think this is a good idea, why don’t they regulate themselves?

When you get right down to it with they are saying is they want the government and the stores to tell them not to buy the stuff that they could voluntarily refrain from buying.

,,, now watch beef and other proteins face a demise in supermarkets, in line with the WEF agenda. It won’t be immediate but it’s in play.

Calorie restriction is not the answer, and 50 calorie deficit will likely only work on paper, not for most people, because it’s not the calories so much as they types of foods that make up the calories that matters with losing fat or weight.

Some people need to eat more calories of nutrient dense foods to get their chemicals back up to balance so that the body feels healthy enough/safe, to drop the fat.
