The Esslestyns'

Caldwell Esselstyn co-stars with T. Colin Campbell in the movie, "Forks Over Knives".  It's the #1 documentary on Amazon, 2+ years running.  Among the many benefits, I'm most intrigued with the evidence that plaque builup on the arterial walls, is reversable.  Esselstyns' son Rip, of Engine 2 Diet, is also pioneering the "vegan / no oil" movement.  See the movie, or delve into the many YouTube videos.

Body Mass Index

Snapshot of today, woke up at 317.5 lbs, and a BMI of 41.3, which designates me as being Class 3 Obese.  One Word: Embarassing.

Ah-Ha moment #1.

Robert Lustig's YouTube video, "Sugar, The Bitter Truth", was my 1st Ah-Ha moment. This riveting video details the detriments of High Fructose Corn Syrup. It's cheap, engineered food, that's not natural to our bodies. This was a huge breakthrough but not enough to fully understand the cause of my obesity.
