DR. ERIC SODICOFF

• Dr. Sodicoff is a Certified Internal Medicine specialist.
• He is also an Obesity Specialist!

GYMS & BRO SCIENCE

• Before big box gyms and bro science, people were thinner.
• Now, thin is not what it meant before.
• Fitness is considered the best way to lose weight — that is BS.
  • Eating badly = weight gain.
  • Going to a big fancy gym is no better than getting on the ground and doing crunches for the weight-loss goal.
• Europe does not have the same problem as us, largely because bro science and exercise are BS here.
  • It is ALL ABOUT FOOD in reality.

OBESITY MEDICINE

• Low fat does not work!
  • He had trouble answering the question at first about people’s weights.
    • He learned more about diets, and realized the SAD was so wrong. 
• Ghrelin and leptin are the main factors of obesity, and controlled by what you eat.

OBESITY IN AMERICA

•  America is so fat compared to most countries.
• We are stuffing people with processed crap!
  • The food pyramid and dietary guidelines make matters worse.
• Sugar and grain is subsidized by the government
  • This is the problem with America!
• People with highest BMI are those who buy subsidized crap.
• We need to work to make real, healthy food less expensive.
  • Some are pleasantly surprised that they can keep their grocery budget down when they stop buying the snack foods, the sugary drinks and the other sweets.
• In European countries, they eat some carbs, but they eat REAL food and in smaller portions than Americans, too.
• We subsidize wheat, corn, and sugar because it makes America money.
  • We need to put our national health first.
• Obesity kills people in the country, and it’s got to stop.
  • We will be crushed under the weight of our own weight, otherwise.
