Ten thousand years ago our ancestors roamed the planet looking for food; they hunted animals and gathered a variety of foods such as veggies, fruits, nuts and berries -all a great source of vitamins, antioxidants, essential trace elements and calories for energy. However back then there was not enough food. The people that survived ate when food was available, and tended to over eat. This allowed them to endure the lean times such as cold hard winters. Historically, however, it is hard to find depictions of people who are overweight.

SOMETHING HAS CHANGED! Today obesity is replacing starvation as a leading health crisis.

A Weight Loss Story – Off Insulin in 5 Days

I started CardioMender, MD Weight Loss Specialists to help people take back control of their health and reverse their disease. Last week was a particularly gratifying one.

As always this time of year, many of our patients returned from going on a cruise or vacation. I heard story after story of those who were thrilled because they lost weight. This stands in stark contrast to the average American who goes on a 1-week cruise and gains 7-10 pounds! These results are extremely gratifying because we emphasize to all of our patients, in order to lose the weight and keep it off, “you’ve got to live it!”^TM
