While I was the gym this morning doing my cardio on an elliptical "The View" had a guest who is a trainer named Drew who has written a book "Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit" or something like that. Anyway, the guy went from a hard body at 190 something to about 265 lbs. by stopping training and eating a diet many Americans eat including a lot of starchy, fatty processed food such as macaroni and cheese, sugary foods and sodas and some fast food. He then dieted and trained back down to his previous condition. He says he wanted to see what his clients were dealing with in trying to lose weight and get into good physical condition. His personality changed for the worse according to his wife and he lost energy while fat.
As I understand it over 60% of Americans are now considerably overweight. The sugar, fats, excess salt and whitebread type carbohydrates are largely responsible along with a frequently stressful life which raises their cortisol levels and a sedentary lifestyle. Processed foods are loaded with salt. Restaurants frequently add sugar, butter and the like to make their food tasty. I thank the OP for pointing out we need to discover who is sponsoring a message before we choose to treat it as truthful and factual or not.
