DR. ERIC SODICOFF

• Certified Internal Medicine specialist
• Also an Obesity Specialist!
• Agrees chiropractors are not real doctors

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 
• Grelin and leptin are the main factors of obesity, and controlled by what you eat

AMERICA

•  America is so fat compared to most countries
• We are stuffing people with processed crap!
• Sugar and grain is subsidized by the government
  • This is the problem with America!!!
• People with highest BMI are those who buy subsidized crap
• 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!
