smoking #1 health nemesis, obesity?

[Guest guest]

Obesity/overweight is not the cause of these health problems. It is only one

more symptom. Many people that are obese, that change eating habits, especially

when switching to a low carb diet, feel the benefits rather quickly although

they are still quite overweight.

There are many people that are overweight according to weight charts and BMI

that are very healthy and have none of the " symptoms " that supposedly afflict

obese people. Football players, bodybuilders and people of higher bone density

and heavy musculature are naturally going to weigh more and are considered

" overweight " .

If being overweight was the sole source of these afflictions then, thinner

people wouldn't also get them which of course they do.
