Andrew Chung MD/PhD
A 2005 visit to an Atlanta cardiologist by the name of Andrew Chung put me on some serious reality
I wasnt just chubby or husky, I am what they often call morbidly obese….he explained that morbid obesity simply means that if something happened to me that could be attiributed to weight and I were to end up in the not breathing state
ok some call it DEAD
that a doctor could simply dismiss it as natural causes related to weight more or less.
Ive been told I was a chunky fella a couple times, maybe even fat….but not quite that harshly. Definitely made me think about a few things, as much as I dislike scare tactics when it comes to health.
Well in the midst of the shock treatment, he also had me come to a heart wellness seminar that he does on some Saturdays in Mableton.
Nice little get together, he has folks from the community come in and discuss Tai Chi, exercises, testimonials, all kinds of good stuff….
Then he shows the movie SUPERSIZE ME to set up the pitch for his 2PD Omer approach that he has his patients use to lose weight.
In a nutshell, in his view, HOW MUCH you eat is more of the issue than WHAT you eat – and portion is more important than any fat content or calories.
I agree with this. This is why I have always been more successful on more liquid diets (cabbage soup, slimfast, herbalife (tho dangerous)) than anything else. I wasnt eating the portions I was before that.
This is why eating out all the time fattens you up also (while thinning your wallet).
Anyway, he does a much better job of explaining it than I do, so here is his link
