Does obesity lead to inner truth or the inside of a hospital? It makes everything in life worse, yet misguided people are asking us to accept it. We cannot. New research shows that obesity promotes Alzheimer’s.
Smaller Seats for Health & Safety
There is growing pressure on the airline industry from consumer advocacy groups to make airline seats bigger due to safety concerns. The seats on airplanes have gotten a bit smaller but our bodies have gotten significantly bigger. The average weight of both men and women is 30 pounds greater than in the 1960s – and […]
Shopping at the Reality Store – 27 Years Dead
Does it hurt your feelings or your physiology? (Time to pick up some things from the Reality Store.) High sugar intake promotes obesity…and obesity promotes dementia. “There are no bad foods” & the idea that ‘obesity’ is stigmatizing…just the latest offerings from grievance junkies doing real harm while claiming to be helping people. Twenty-seven years ago today, obesity killed my father and we didn’t care what it was called.
One Dose of Reality = 40% Change
What a year… The forced changes to so many aspects of everyday life have resulted in an apparent weight change for everyone. Seemingly, no one has maintained weight or fitness.

Cinder-Block the Fat Cat creates some valuable and frank discussion about obesity.
Stext me, baby
We text a lot and sit too much. The fix? Stand up and text = “Stext.” Do it now with someone you love.
More Exercise, More Obesity, Twice the Guidelines!
More people than ever are obese. More people than ever are meeting government guidelines for exercise, and the government guidelines for physical activity just doubled from what they used to be. Confused? Frustrated? Confrustrated? When I read stories about health, fitness, and obesity in the media, I understand why many people throw their hands up […]
They Won’t Work.
Trendy at-home fitness equipment like The Mirror, Peleton, and Hydrow are terrific fitness options but won’t do much to change the numbers on obesity. Here’s why.
The Secret to Getting in Shape? You can’t
“I need to get in shape.” Good. I’ve got the secret for you. Stop trying. You can’t “get in shape.” Because you don’t care about getting in shape. To help you care, you don’t need an answer, but rather a question – or three. What does “get in shape” look like and feel like to […]
