Obesity is one of the main health problems of our Western world. The number of overweight people increases rapidly: About one in five Austrians is considered obese. But why are so many people overweight worldwide, with all the known consequences such as diabetes, heart attack, and osteoarthritis?
It’s simple: They eat too many carbohydrates (sweets, breads, cereals, potatoes, rice, pasta, etc.)! Everyone has – due to different activity of the endocrine glands and the digestive enzymes – an individual metabolism and can withstand different amounts of it, but most people already get overweight when eating relatively small amounts of carbohydrates.
Therefore any major weight loss requires, besides a check of the endocrine glands, a change in diet with significant reduction of starchy or even sugary food!
