Drug companies know that if they can make an effective, safe diet pill, there will be massive demand and huge profits.
Many of the 73% of Americans who are overweight or obese would flock to a genuine solution to their weight problems.
But history is littered with disastrous diet drugs.
One of the first was dinitrophenol, sold in the 1930s. It boosted metabolism and burned body fat.
The numbers, just like America’s waistlines, keep growing…
Earlier this year, a Harvard University study concluded that nearly half of adults in the U.S. will be obese by 2030.
Obesity is a true health scourge. It’s strongly linked to diabetes, cancer, fatty liver, heart disease, stroke, and osteoarthritis.[1]
The problem is so bad that it even threatens national security. According to the CDC, if we had a major war, we may not have enough soldiers to fight it because one in four young adults is now too heavy to serve in the military.
If you have weight issues, you may have joked that you get heavier merely by looking at food. Of course, that’s impossible.
But a new study shows that simply breathing can actually cause you to pack on weight.[1]
The study was published in the journal Environment International. It found that breathing a certain kind of pollution can trigger obesity.
We all know that olive oil is good for us. Especially the more expensive extra virgin kind.
Studies have found that it leads to healthy aging, prevents heart disease, wards off Alzheimer’s, cuts the risk of diabetes, fights arthritis, and contributes to a healthy body weight.[1]
Despite extra virgin olive oil’s status as a superfood, it has always had one drawback.
It seems like the Holy Grail for dieters…
Increase the number of calories you burn without exercising or changing what you eat.
This metabolic acceleration would allow you to lose weight far easier than going on a traditional diet that forces you to eat less and go hungry. Nor would you have to exercise yourself into exhaustion.
This isn’t just a fantasy.
Professor Neil Alexander of the University of Leeds was a world-renowned pioneer in the study of biomechanics. This is the science of how living things move.
He noted that humans are the only mammals who walk on two legs (some apes do it for short periods of time).[1] [2] [3]
“Walking,” he said, “is the exercise man is naturally meant to do.”
