I Am an Expert in Weight Loss
How do you think that well-known experts became recognized as experts? They focused on something that was interesting to them; they mastered the literature; and they develop their own experience so that they could make their own contribution. The result is a self-reinforcing process. The more you see, the greater the experience and expertise, the more you see.
I know how to take it off and keep it off.
Two. Hundred. Pounds. I’ve kept the weight off for over forty years.
This makes me an expert.

The Silent Pandemic
There are no quick-fix solutions, as obesity is not an external problem. It is an internal metabolic issue.

All Work and No Play — Side Hustle Scrubs
If you’ve spent any amount of time reading this blog, you may be under the impression that side hustles are all about easy money with no downsides. Although I wish that were the truth, the reality is that there is no free lunch. Everything has its price, including lucrative side jobs. In the interest of […]

Good advice for all of us. Thanks Doc.
US Towns With the Shortest Life Expectancy

The Paradox
The National Center for Health Statistics narrowed its life expectancy data to census tracts of a few thousand people, which can be a small town, a large rural area or a neighborhood in a large city. Oklahoma’s least healthy areas are small towns and rural areas, but so are some of its healthiest, according to the life expectancy figures.
The highest life expectancy in Oklahoma — 89.4 years — is in a Caddo County census tract that surrounds, but doesn’t include, Anadarko. McCurtain County, in far southeast Oklahoma, is home to the second-highest life expectancy at 89 years. Sparsely populated parts of Pushmataha County, also in rural southeast Oklahoma, have an average life expectancy of 88 years.
Other long-living parts of Oklahoma include the area around Grand Lake State Park in Mayes County (86.7 years), southwest neighborhoods of Stillwater (86.6 years) and rural areas south of Kingfisher (86.1 years).
All of this bothers and intrigues me at the same time.

Vegetarian or ‘Flexitarian’ Diet Benefits Waistline and Pocket
Adopting a vegetarian or semi-vegetarian diet to lose weight and improve health may not be as onerous as is typically assumed, as people can experience health benefits even if they only partially switch to plant-based foods. In addition, the diets may cost less than other healthy diets, suggests new research presented here at the European Congress on Obesity (ECO) 2018.

To Weigh or Not to Weigh
The National Weight Control Registry has published several studies on the habits of those who have successfully achieved and maintained significant weight loss over 10 years (4, 5, 6, 7). Their findings are based on the tracking of over 10,000 individuals through detailed questionnaires and annual follow-up surveys designed to identify behavioral and psychological characteristics and strategies used to maintain weight loss. 75% weigh themselves at least once a week.
Here’s a short literature review on weighing habits in the processes of losing weight and maintaining weight loss. Read the source article here.
I completed my annual National Weight Control Registry survey this morning.
For the first time in a very long time I reported a weight loss since the last follow up.
When I tell people I’ve lost 200 pounds they are always surprised and ask how I did it.
Well, you’ll just have to buy the book when I finish writing it.
