Battle of the Diets Does your diet REALLY work? Clarifying the distortions and failures behind popular 'diet plans,' Jon reveals the real secret behind a long-term, healthy weight loss program. (15:55) |
| Letter from the Editor
In this issue of the newsletter, Jon discusses a recent article in the New England Journal of Medicine on obesity. As Jon says, "The article on solving the 'weight problem' is, to paraphrase Macbeth, 'Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.'" In fact, it offers no solutions other than more studies -- oh, and telling you it's not your fault. But in fact, as Jon points out, your weight is absolutely under your control -- and he gives you some clear steps you can take to reset the scales back to where they need to be to optimize both your health and self-image.

 Obesity - You're Still In Charge
by Jon Barron
Let's be clear, obesity is "today's" disease. It's hot, and it dominates the news when it comes to stories about health. Years ago it was heart disease and then cancer. Sure they're still the one and two killers in the developed world, but how old news they seem now! Cigarette smoking had its day in the sun too, but a couple of good law suits chased big tobacco overseas. Yes, billions of dollars of profits are still being earned -- but it's a third world problem now, if you don't count the domestic rise in the consumption of small cigars and pipe tobacco. AIDS was hot for awhile too, but once anti-retro-viral drugs came into common use, that also slipped from the front pages of the news…and from our terror radar. Diabetes had its moment in the sun -- and will again as the full scope of the epidemic hits home. But make no mistake, the disease of our time, at least today, is obesity! And everyone has an opinion on it.
On August 2nd, the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) published a lead "perspective" article on it entitled, "Are Americans Ready to Solve the Weight of the Nation?" This article touched on some absolutely crucial points, but missed some even more important ones. And as it represents the evolving mainstream medical point of view, I think it's worth examining point by point, with my commentary following each quote.
