A member asked:

How do i lose maximal weight in two months before a cruise?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Easy: When i stopped taking all forms of sugar i lost 11 pounds without thinking about it. Obesity, overweight and even inflammation is caused by a genetic mechanism in the hypothalamus (part of the brain) this mechanism is normally silent but the gene is turned on by excess calories, particularly sugar. See my blog "oxygen, the spark of life".
