Obesity and Rimonabant
Obesity… a word that has given nightmares to millions. Obesity affects almost three fourths of the world population and is associated with a plethora of life threatening diseases like heart problems and diabetes. Obesity saps away the confidence of an individual and gives rise to inferiority complex and frustration.
Obesity does not only affect the body but also invades the mind. Other diseases can be cured by medication but obesity needs patience, willpower and a lifestyle change. There are times when efforts seem to go unrewarded and one is at his wits end not knowing what to do. People resort to drastic measures like soup diets and fruit juice diet which takes a heavy toll on their body.
Sometimes, these fad diets lead to serious disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia. These disorders make a normal person believe that he is fat and make him averse to food. This causes the body’s metabolism to go haywire. Many celebrities like late Princess Diana have been known to be affected by these syndromes.
Obesity can be cured by a combination of sensible eating and right exercise. Another way of combating obesity is by what is known as the principle of “fletcherism”. This involves principles like chewing your food till it becomes liquid or pulpy and enjoying every morsel of your meal.
Fletcherism advocates that food should not be eaten unless hungry or if one is tired, angry, worried and at meal times no unpleasant thoughts should be entertained. Horace Fletcher, the father of fletcherism lost more than 60 pounds by this method. Hence eating meals should be a pleasurable and a relaxing experience instead of grabbing a bite here and there.
Pills like Rimonabant also help in combating obesity by reducing the desire to eat between meals. Rimonabant can also help in overcoming nicotine addiction and smoking. So if you want to slip back into that little black dress, buy Rimonabant and rule the world!
I have been on the Fletcherism diet for a little over 3 months and have lost 37 pounds. I chew eat bite 32 times and eat Lunch and supper only and have a mid afternoon snack about 3 pm. And another one at 8:30 at night. Be sure to chew eat bite at least 32 times. You will eat about 20-30 minutes and feel totally full and are eating a lot less calories by eating less food and you feel totally satisfied. Read Horace Fletcher’s book in Google books called How I Became Young at Sixty.
