DR. ERIC SODICOFF

  • Certified Internal Medicine specialist
  • Also an Obesity Specialist!
  • Agrees chiropractors are not real doctors

GYMS & BRO SCIENCE

  • Before big box gyms and bro science, people were thinner
  • Now, thin is not what it meant before
  • Fitness is considered the best way to lose weight -- that is BS
    • Eating badly = weight gain
    • Going to a big fancy gym is no better than getting on the ground and doing crunches for the weight-loss goal
  • Europe does not have the same problem as us, largely because bro science and exercise are BS here 
    • It is ALL ABOUT FOOD in reality

OBESITY MEDICINE

  • Low fat does not work!
    • He had trouble answering the question at first about people's weights
      • He learned more about diets, and realized the SAD was so wrong 
  • Grelin and leptin are the main factors of obesity, and controlled by what you eat

AMERICA

  •  America is so fat compared to most countries
  • We are stuffing people with processed crap!
  • Sugar and grain is subsidized by the government
    • This is the problem with America!!!
  • People with highest BMI are those who buy subsidized crap
  • In European countries, they eat some carbs, but they eat REAL food and in smaller portions than Americans, too
  • We subsidize wheat, corn, and sugar because it makes America money!
