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.
