Get on the elliptical machine for six days a week for an hour.\u00a0 Or if you are slow, two hours a day until you exercise off 750 calories. Do it for a few months.\u00a0 Watch what you eat and drink.\u00a0 And keep score of\u00a0 how many unnecessary calories you eat and drink.\u00a0 Then come back and tell me whether or not I’m\u00a0 right about curing obesity.<\/p>\n
Think I\u2019m off base? Consider that on February 21st, 2014 Sunday<\/p>\n
the New York Times stated: \u201cIn June 2013, millions of Americans contracted a disease.\u00a0 They developed it not because of some pathogen or illness, but thanks to the American Medical Association\u2019s decision to label obesity a \u201cmulti-metabolic and hormonal disease state.\u201d<\/h3>\n
Which means the AMA was telling fat Americans: \u201cAccept your being an overgrown hippopotamus because there is nothing you can do about it.\u201d There\u2019s a lot to the article, which is well worth reading. Where the editorial falls short is it doesn\u2019t provide any answers.\u00a0 It\u00a0 only poses the dilemma that it is difficult to make a choice between making people feel good about their obesity and inspiring them to actually do something about it.<\/p>\n
Americans today weigh 25 pounds more than they did in the 1960’s The reason is Pizzas and McDonalds, a sedentary lifestyle and unwillingness to exercise did it.\u00a0 And certainly not an incurable disease called obesity.<\/p>\n
I am currently visiting Japan and I can guarantee you that neither the bacterial form of obesity or virus carried mutation has made any serious inroads here. For the most part I\u2019m not seeing many fat people here in Japan.\u00a0 \u00a0 So it’s important to look at what the Japanese are doing about\u00a0 curing obesity.<\/p>\n
A few days ago I asked my Japanese friend, Takoi, why Japanese women weren\u2019t fat like American women. He replied: \u201cBecause Japanese women see thinness as the best way to be.\u201d<\/h3>\n
That was in Tokyo, but now that I\u2019m in Kyoto and have been here a few days longer, I must say that obviously the Japanese must be doing a lot of things right when it comes to being slender as opposed to the American approach advocated by the American Medical Association of \u201cDon\u2019t rock the boat. Feel good that you look like Jabba the Hut.\u201d<\/p>\n
The situation has gotten so bad that a good friend of mine who lives near me in Thailand told me, \u201cI never want to bang another white woman ever again.\u201d My friend is 71.<\/p>\n
The truth is that most people can do something about their elephantine figures.<\/p>\n
Here’s the Dr. Corbett secret.\u00a0 Americans must use their brains and have the will power to do what must be done.\u00a0 This is the only alternative to being ugly and fat for the rest of their lives.<\/h3>\n
Viewing themselves as victims of an incurable disease called Obesity as recommended by the AMA only serves to create an acceptance that being grotesquely fat and ugly is unavoidable.<\/p>\n
Once again, I\u2019m not the AMA, and I\u2019m not about to tell you to feel good about yourself. So let\u2019s just face the facts. Americans are not the same race of people they once were. Just keep in mind that<\/p>\n
the average American soldier during World War II weighed just 152 pounds and that today the average American male weighs 194.7 pounds according to Wikipedia<\/a>.<\/h3>\nWhereas American females weigh 74.7 kilograms or 164.7 pounds. Good God, I\u2019m 66 years old.\u00a0 I am five foot eleven, and I still weigh only 75 kilograms,.\u00a0 This is the same that I weighed in college.<\/p>\n
So there is no excuse for\u00a0 the rest of you.\u00a0 I\u2019m ashamed for my fellow Americans. The United States has become a hog farm for humans.\u00a0 And I\u2019m not afraid to say what the American Medical Association is either too gutless or too much into the profit motive to admit that\u00a0Curing obesity requires Americans to actually do something about it.<\/p>\n
Did I say profit motive?\u00a0 Damn right I did. It\u2019s either that or that\u00a0 the AMA is dim witted. It all boils down to this. Fat people have a lot more health problems than thin people do. To begin with the typical American male\u2019s heart was designed to support a body weight of 152 pounds.\u00a0 This is the typical body weight of a World War II soldier. The heart was not designed to pump blood for a 195 pound body.\u00a0 The human heart cannot keep supporting all those extra arteries,veins and tissue for nearly one third more body mass.<\/p>\n
So to begin with Americans can expect a lot more circulatory problems and that means more profits for the doctors.<\/h3>\n
On the other hand, perhaps doctors are not really that greedy.\u00a0 So then it\u2019s gross stupidity that causes the AMA to lull Americans into acceptance of their corpulent bodies. And if it\u2019s not stupidity, then it\u2019s simply that the AMA is too gutless to tell the truth.<\/p>\n
The truth is if you are American, chances are you are grossly overweight.\u00a0 So you now have two choices. Either accept the fact that you are destined to being a fatso for the rest of your life.\u00a0 Or\u00a0 decide that you are going to conquer what the AMA chooses to cause a practically incurable disease called Obesity.\u00a0 \u00a0No matter what it takes.<\/p>\n
The key to curing obesity is Americans must quantify how many calories they are putting into their bodies each day.\u00a0 And then make sure that they burn off more calories than they consume.<\/h3>\n
For example, one bottle of lite beer contains around 110 calories. To burn that off I need to run one mile.\u00a0 Or do eight minutes on the elliptical machine until the machine\u2019s digital readout gets to 110 calories.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alphapro.com\/octoberlooking11\/images\/centaramain.jpg?resize=474%2C315&quality=60\")
Centara Grand Mirage Hotel is where I have my fitness club membership. It costs a lot. But it’s got the best equipment and facility I know of. And if I am not exercising here, I am swimming for an hour a day or running 14 kilometers from Nakua Soi 16 to Walking Street and back.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nI exercise very hard for one hour a day six days a week. In that hour if I\u2019m on the elliptical machine I will burn off 750 calories which is good enough for 7\u00a0 bottles of lite beer.\u00a0 But if I\u2019m drinking a non lite beer, that\u2019ll come out to 160 calories so in that same hour I will burn off approximately 5 beers. Since I am undergoing so much pain during that hour, I favor drinking the lite beer over the higher calorie regular beer.\u00a0 This means I am getting a lot more out of my one hour\u2019s exercise.<\/p>\n![\"Curing](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alphapro.com\/octoberlooking11\/images\/centara22.jpg?resize=474%2C316&quality=60\")
It will set you back around $1000 a year and up for a fitness membership here. But figure it this way. My neighbors who play golf need a car to take them and their golf clubs way across Pattaya to the golf courses. And the fees they pay must run into the thousands. Many of my neighbors drink in the afternoons and they are going to pay a lot more for their drinks than I’ll ever pay here.\u00a0 Many of them are obese, but I suppose\u00a0Curing obesity is not relevant to them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSo what about one large piece of cheesecake? I\u2019m not sure on that one, but I\u2019ve read that an average size serving is 257 calories. This means 2.6 miles of running, fast walking, or over 20 minutes on the elliptical machine just for that single slice.<\/p>\n
So what about those 14 beers I had last night? Yeah, I know, I know. I’m quite the derelict. 14 beers if they are lite beers comes out to around 1400 calories.<\/h3>\n
So if I am burning off 750 calories during one hour’s exercise session, it’s going to take two days in a row to burn all that beer off, which comes out to 1500 calories.\u00a0 But only if these are lite beers. However I do not drink in the afternoons so a martini lunch is not in the cards.<\/p>\n
I’ll usually have one big night out a week. But suppose I have two big nights out when I get sloshed to the gills? This comes out to 3000 calories. So I must keep in mind that 3600 calories equals one pound. If I keep that pace up for a month I’ll be gaining 3000 times 4 or 12,000 calories in that month. That means I am apt to gain about 3.5 pounds a month on account of the beer alone. However, I am hitting the exercise hard six days a week so that must be put into the equation. Six times 750 calories is 4500 calories that I’ve burned off. So that has to be balanced off against the 2800 calorie gain from\u00a0 two nights beer drinking.<\/p>\n
What all this boils down to are two words, Quantify and brain. That is one must use one’s brain to constantly quantify how many calories are being consumed versus how many calories one is burning off.\u00a0 This is what it takes for curing obesity or at least to keep from becoming fat.<\/h3>\n
So what does it really take for\u00a0Curing obesity?<\/p>\n
A lot more than you think, and certainly a lot more than the doctors are telling you.\u00a0 Who are recommending three days a week of exercise.\u00a0 Which is complete\u00a0 bull. When I work out on the elliptical machine I maintain a pace that most 30 year-olds are unwilling or unable to attain.<\/p>\n
Perhaps I\u2019m lucky and have been blessed with much better than average genes. But if that\u2019s the case, there\u2019s still hope for you.\u00a0 Even if you think you have been victimized unfairly into suffering a lifetime of being fat and unsightly.<\/p>\n
A big man often exercises next to me at the health club. Once I\u2019ve done one hour\u2019s torment and pain he\u2019s just starting to hit his stride. The man will exercise for another hour. He\u2019s British and I suppose he weighs over 300 pounds. He travels incessantly all over Southeast Asia, but when he does, he chooses hotels that have exercise rooms.\u00a0 I\u2019ve heard he\u2019s lost at least 20 kilograms or over 50 pounds. And he\u2019s still losing weight. But he\u2019s got a long way to go still. His business keeps him working over 60 hours a week, yet he still manages to do two hour exercise programs.<\/p>\n
This man knows what it takes for curing obesity. He\u2019s an inspiration to me because I can tell you this….he\u2019s undergoing a lot more physical pain and challenge than I\u2019m having to overcome at just 75 kilograms. Compared to him I’m just another wimp.<\/p>\n
