5 Signs Your Liver Is Toxic And Is Making You Gain Weight
"Poor liver function may increase your chances of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes. If the liver does not regulate fat metabolism efficiently, weight gain tends to occur around the abdominal area and a protuberant abdomen (pot belly) will develop." – Sandra Cabot, MD

Obesity Quadruples to Nearly One Billion in Developing World

Study Reveals That Eating ‘In Moderation’ Is A Fool’s Errand
"While [everything in moderation] sounds like wise advice for anyone who wants a low-key approach to healthy eating, the term is problematic because “moderation” is left up to each individual to define for themselves. This meaninglessness could harm people who are trying to maintain or lose weight, according to new research from scientists at the University of Georgia and Duke University."

Study Finds Plant-Based Diets Lead to Weight Loss
"The evidence continues to pile up in support of veggie-lovers, as yet another new study found that plant-based diets are a great way to lose weight.
Researchers published a study in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that discovered people put on a vegetarian or vegan diet lost more than seven pounds regardless of caloric intake or exercise regimens.
What this means is that ‘counting calories’ matters far less than the public is led to believe, and it’s not about moderation in diet so much as making healthy choices."

Eating For Health Not Weight
"Perhaps the biggest misconception is that as long as you lose weight, it doesn’t matter what you eat. But it does. Yet being thin and being healthy are not at all the same thing. Being overweight is not necessarily linked with disease or premature death. What you eat affects which diseases you may develop, regardless of whether you’re thin or fat. Some diets that may help you lose weight may be harmful to your health over time."

It is Time to Bust the Myth of Physical Inactivity and Obesity: You Cannot Outrun a Bad Diet
"A recent report from the UK's Academy of Medical Royal Colleges described ‘the miracle cure’ of performing 30 min of moderate exercise, five times a week, as more powerful than many drugs administered for chronic disease prevention and management. Regular physical activity reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, dementia and some cancers by at least 30%. However, physical activity does not promote weight loss."

Take Off that Fitbit. Exercise Alone Won’t Make You Lose Weight
"The idea that our obesity epidemic is caused by sedentary lifestyles has spread widely over the past few decades, spurring a multibillion-dollar industry that pitches gadgets and gimmicks promising to walk, run and kickbox you to a slim figure. But those pitches are based on a myth. Physical activity has a multitude of health benefits — it reduces the risk of heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and possibly even cancer — but weight loss is not one of them.
Curbing the global obesity problem will require changing what we eat, not selling more pedometers and exercise videos. The bottom line: You can’t outrun a bad diet."

Physical Activity Does Not Influence Obesity Risk: Time to Clarify the Public Health Message
"A comprehensive 2013 literature review by Amy Luke, a public health scholar at Loyola University of Chicago, concludes that “numerous trials have indicated that exercise plus calorie restriction achieves virtually the same result in weight loss as calorie restriction alone.
It’s calorie intake that is really fueling the obesity epidemic. But it’s not just the number of calories we’re eating as how we’re getting them."

Hunter-Gatherer Energetics and Human Obesity
In a study published in 2012, a group of anthropologists measured the daily physical activity, metabolic rates and energy expenditure of people in a hunter-gatherer tribe in Tanzania, and compared the results to the average Westerner. Though the Tanzanian subjects were more physically active than Westerners, their metabolic rates were similar. In other words, the researchers concluded, “active, ‘traditional’ lifestyles may not protect against obesity if diets change to promote increased caloric consumption.”

Why Calories Don’t Matter
“And the biggest lie of them all is this: All calories are created equal... Some calories are addictive, others healing, some fattening, some metabolism-boosting. That’s because food doesn’t just contain calories, it contains information. Every bite of food you eat broadcasts a set of coded instructions to your body—instructions that can create either health or disease.”
