Now the Bad News!
• When it comes to Dieting and Weight loss in the US, We are confused
• Our current weight problem is not a result of lack of effort by the American Public.
• With over 6000 diets available and the contradictory “scientific evidence”, it would be a miracle if Americans were not confused
• Following the wrong plan, no matter how hard you try, will get poor results.

Causes of Diabetes & Obesity
• Unhealthy Eating Habits
• Excessive Weight (Abdominal Fat)
• Lack of Adequate Nutrients
• Lack of Exercise
www.WellesleyMD.com
Changes in Our Eating Habits
Sugar intake 1900, 2-4 lbs. of
Sugar/person/year
Sugar intake 1999, 158 lbs./person/year
Refined Grain intake from late 1970’s thru
2000 has increased by 60 lbs. per year
www.WellesleyMD.com
French vs American Diet
Late 20th Century French Diet was
higher in fat, had equal amounts of
meat and fish, 4X's as much butter
and cheese, and they had 60% less
Heart Disease than the US.

More About Fats

From 1910 to 1970, Heart Disease escalated from almost non-existent to # 1 cause of death. During this time the intake of Animal & Butter fat significantly decreased, dietary cholesterol did not increase, while sugar intake increased dramatically

How do we Gain FAT?
Let’s look at the common scenario of fat
gaining that takes place, slowly but surely
over time, from too many carbs, too many
“empty calories”.
www.WellesleyMD.com
When blood sugar exceeds a certain level
the body converts it to fat and stores it.

Insulin and GlucagonInsulin
• lowers elevated blood sugar.
• shifts our metabolism into storage mode
• removes dietary fat from blood and transports it into fat cells.
• Increases body's production of cholesterol
• causes the kidneys to retain fluid
• stimulates the release of eicosanoids. (proinflammatorySignaling Molecules)
Glucagon
• shifts metabolism into burning
mode
• turns fat into blood sugar for
energy use.
• Decreases body’s production
of cholesterol
• causes the kidneys to release
excess fluid.
• stimulates the release of
eicosanoids. (antiinflammatory
signaling molecules)
www.WellesleyMD.com
The Eicosanoids
Insulin• Promotes platelet
aggregation
• Promotes vasoconstriction
• Depresses Immune Response
• Is Pro-Inflammatory
• Increases Pain Transmission
Glucagon• Inhibits platelet
aggregation
• Promotes vessel opening
• Stimulates Immune Response
• is Anti-Inflammatory
• Decreases Pain Transmission

So, How do We
Solve this Problem?
The Bad News is:
There is No Magic Pill to solve
this problem.
www.WellesleyMD.com
What Does not Work• Natural Stimulants”, i.e. Ephedra and the
many other “Fat Blockers”, “Carb Blockers”, “sleep your way to weight Loss, dont change your lifestyle” products.
• Prescription Medications for Weight Loss, remember Fen, Phen?
• Lastly,“it is not the fault of your Genes”. When we take care of the body in the way it is designed to be cared for, it performs wonderfully and loses weight steadily.

Excess body weight in combination with
physical inactivity is a major determinant
for the development of insulin resistance
with associated hyperglycaemia and
hyperinsulinaemia and further leads to
tumour development.”

Conclusion
Have 4-6 small meals a day. You can
not eat large amounts of food and
your meals will not last as long as they
did before, so eat more frequently.
Drink at least 64 ounces of water daily.
Drink at least 30 minutes before eating.
This "water loading" will make you feel
fuller before you eat.
www.WellesleyMD.com
Simple Action Steps
Chew your food very well- 20 times before swallowing. It
slows down your eating and also breaks down the food to
allow the food to go down easier
Keep a food diary and plan your meals. If you fail to plan,
you plan to fail.
Don't rely on what is nearby for food. Fast food will slow
you down. Never skip breakfast. Eat like a queen for
breakfast, princess for lunch and pauper for dinner.
www.WellesleyMD.com
Simple Actions
Avoid foods high in sugar (more than 20
grams per serving) or high in fat (more 30%).
Bread does not grow on Trees! So Avoid Carbohydrates as much as possible
Be careful with liquids like juices, smoothies, or lattes. These
have calories and you will not have the feedback or solids
telling you that you are full.
Avoid snacking. Grazing on food will add weight. Stick to your
set meal times.
Concluding Remarks
Don't give up. Weight loss and weight maintenance is a life long process. If you over indulge one day, make up for it the next day. Keep working to make yourself better each in every day in each and every way.
Find time for yourself. If you are stressed at work or home your body will know it and not like it. Take care of yourself or you can't take care of others.
