Obesity

I always thought I could tell if someone was obese just by looking at them. YOU CAN’T!

We’ve been led to believe, wrongly, that obesity means being overweight. IT DOESN’T!

In fact obesity can reveal itself as heart disease, anxiety, depression, lethargy, addiction, fatty liver disease, metabolic syndrome and on and on.

When I turned 55, I was becoming increasingly lethargic … physically and cognitively, and I was not only obese, I was dangerously obese, and after seeing this picture I vowed to shed my excess fat.

So what did I do? I did what we all do, I went on a diet.

One month later my waist had budged an inch and for the first time in my life I began to appreciate the challenges of weight loss.

So like the ardent researcher I am, I was determined to understand overweight and obesity and the more I researched the more I realized that eating too much “food” had nothing to do with my obesity problem.

Once I realized the true cause of my obesity, I was finally able to shed my excess fat and dramatically increase my energy levels … physically and cognitively and I did it without ever having to go on some idiotic diet.

I wrote this book to share with you the true cause of our obesity epidemic, because once you know its root cause you will know its cure, and when you know the cure you will know how you can slow the process of aging, how you can lose that excess dangerous fat, how you can increase your energy levels physically and cognitively,  basically, you’ll know how you can maximize your overall health and you can do that without drugs, dieting, counting calories or food restriction of any kind.

We are living amid the absurd paradox of being overfed and undernourished, which means at the cellular level – where it really matters – we’re virtually starving, that’s why dieting and “food” restriction is literally making us fatter and sicker.

As you’ll see, to lose unwanted fat and to maximize your health, there is nothing you need to buy nor any non-sensical diet you need to follow.

For our health and the future health of our children, we must understand this most serious crisis, and the good news is that with this understanding, the cure to obesity is remarkably easy.

Editorial Reviews

Lovely words from reviewers

Blueink Review

"Although the author has no medical credentials, intense research cited in the text, plus practical knowledge and first-hand applications, convinced him that worldwide obesity is a result of typical Western-style diets. Writing with a thriller’s “what happens next” flair, Fast pulls in the reader, starting with the first packaged breakfast cereals, which replaced the eggs/bacon/porridge of decades ago."

Kirkus Reviews

"While Big Food’s dastardly tactics have, of course, been well covered elsewhere, the author offers an engaging, eye-opening tour through suspicious or misleading propaganda and scientifically valid findings. Best of all, his book provides support and vision regarding the “surprisingly simple way” that Fast himself lost 30 pounds and regained vitality and health. "

"Fast does something unique compared to a lot of books in this area: he analyzes every stage of the process with a lot of care. This is very important because a lot of books only focus on the solution while this author creates a lot of context, which can help a lot of people to understand their current state of affairs.  The solutions are interesting and simple."

"OBESITY … it’s NOT what YOU THINK it is!  is a fascinating and highly informative look at how to get healthy and stay that way by making wise choices about what we eat and why we eat it. It also explores how we got ourselves into an obesity predicament and more importantly, how we can get out."

Booklife Reviews

"In this straightforward, eye-opening guide to eating healthy, Fast offers an informative and honest exploration of rising obesity rates—and what can be done about it.” The cure for obesity is not to focus on weight; it’s to focus on health,”  A no-holds-barred look into the rising obesity rates and ways to get healthy."

BookTrib

"Fast can hardly ignore the matter of food and its effects. In fact, he opens his chock-full-of-info book with the line, “Our relationship with food is broken. Consequently, so is our health.” And that’s the essence of this most unique work, in its engaging tone, mountains of advice, and observations about how savvy marketing and an avalanche of media misinformation have led us astray."
