The purpose of this podcast
Why is weight loss important?
- Vanity?
- Health
- Longevity
CDC stats on obesity:
- In the early 80’s every state in the US had less than 15% obesity
- Now, every state has more than 20% obesity rate.
- Many are over 30%!
The first thing you should do when you decide to start losing weight- Measure your starting point:
- weight
- body composition (Tanita Ironman- body fat, muscle, water, bone mass, metabolic age, visceral fat)
- waist to hip ratio. Men below 1, women below .8 for cardiovascular health
- skin caliper on love handles
- mirror
- fit of your clothes
- Take Initial Pictures
- Metabolic testing
Monitor your progress by taking these same measurements periodically- weekly, monthly, etc.
