Alan, why are we becoming more overweight?
It's a combination of several things.
So the way that I see it, it is a gradual shift towards sedentary living.
And this has been facilitated by labor-saving devices and even electronic and digital means to not even have to get up off the couch to prepare food.
You just make a call and then wait for it to show up at the door and that's it.
In addition to that, there's a fundamental misunderstanding of how to maintain healthy body weight.
And people simply don't know or are unaware that fundamentally, in order to lose weight, you have to impose a net caloric deficit over a period of time.
And so when people are not aware of that, then they easily believe that there are magic foods that, for example, burn belly fat or magic foods that burn fat and then
other foods that you should completely vilify or avoid.
And that's where a lot of the confusion comes in.
And in addition to that, I would say that in the present time, people have a greater tendency to use food
to, I guess, medicate or entertain themselves just from general work, stress, interpersonal stress, anxiety.
And so food ends up being kind of used as that sort of tool.
I think that the combination of those things is at least some of the factors underlying the obesity phenomenon that has basically started in the early-ish 80s and continued on to today.
Okay, so not everybody is ready to go on a program where they transform their body.
Okay, let's say somebody thinks they're ready.
I would start with, let's see your sleeping cycle.
How much sleep are you getting?
Do you feel it's enough?
And what is your history with regard to that?
