41. What Makes A Fat Man Fat?

    Extractions: Eat Fat And Grow Slim by Richard MacKarness, M.B., B.S (1958) . What Makes A Fat Man Fat? PEOPLE CAN be divided into two groups according to the way they deal with the excess food when they eat more than they require for their daily expenditure of energy. In 1950 at the Royal Society of Medicine in London, Professor Sir Charles Dodds, who is in charge of the Courtauld Institute of Biochemistry at the Middlesex Hospital, described an experiment he had carried out. He took people whose weights had been constant for many years and persuaded them to eat double or treble their normal amount of food. They did not put on weight. He showed that this was not due to a failure to digest or assimilate the extra food and suggested that they responded to over-eating by increasing their metabolic rate (rate of food using) and thus burned up the extra calories. He then over-fed people whose weights had not remained constant in the past and found that they showed no increase in metabolism but became fat. So two people of the same size, doing the same work and eating the same food will react quite differently when they overeat. One will stay the same weight and the other will gain. We all know that this is true even without scientific proof and yet the fact has not been taken into account or explained by any of the experts who write popular books and articles about slimming.

    Extractions: By Laura Lane (WebMD) The fat mice have done it again: They rapidly lost weight after receiving injections of a hormone produced by the brain, a new study suggests. This isn't the first time researchers have reported results that could lead to a new medication to treat obesity. But these scientists, who published their findings in this week's international journal Nature Medicine, are saying that this time the approach is different. In addition to curbing appetites, the hormone, called alpha-MSH, may encourage the body to store less fat, says co-principal investigator Dr. Ute Hochgeschwender of the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation in Oklahoma City.

Foods provide us with the nutrients we need for healthy bodies and the calories we need for energy. If we eat too much, however, the extra food turns to fat and is stored in our bodies. If we overeat regularly, we gain weight, and if we continue to gain weight, we may become obese. Obesity means accumulation of excess fat on the body. Obesity is considered a chronic (long-term) disease, like high blood pressure or diabetes. It has many serious long-term consequences for your health, and it is the second leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States (tobacco is the first). Each year, Americans spend billions of dollars on dieting, diet foods, diet books, diet pills, and the like. Another $45 billion is spent on treating the diseases associated with obesity. Furthermore, businesses suffer an estimated $20 billion loss in productivity each year from absence due to illness caused by obesity.
