Glycaemic Index Cops

Hello,

Yeah it may be that you have heard enough about this.

 However, weight management and obesity is such a big thing. I walk around a shopping mall and the sights are extreme. Speaking of which, we had the pleasure last Sunday morning of driving past the Auckland marathon. It was a real eye opener. There were people taking part in this marathon that were distinctly overweight. Now if you are a nice person you are probably saying that was a good thing for these people. At least they were taking part. That is true! However it is the general issues I am thinking of…….. Twenty years ago the thought of overweight people appearing in a marathon just didn’t compute. Now we have a significant number of people who are seriously overweight running in a marathon.

 What gets me is that fatness and overweight is now acceptable. But what is the ultimate consequence of this? It is surgical removal of feet, legs, hands and vital organs and loss of sight. Yes Type 2 diabetes is a direct consequence of being overweight and this results in removal of body parts!! The truth is most people are at least slightly overweight. Slightly overweight converts to the above consequences.

  I am on a crusade to rectify this. It is easy and if you would like to know more about personally reducing weight effectively write me at summersn@ihug.co.nz

  Further comments of value will be posted here on a regular basis.
