Musculoskeletal Profile of Normal Weight and Obese People - (abstract) - Excessive weight gain (overweight, and obesity) is a symptom of adverse musculoskeletal changes and poor walking and running gait. Adverse musculoskeletal changes are symptoms of poor posture (standing, walking and sitting posture) and poor walking and running gait. ... (Read the full text of the research article.)
Neck Length, Neck Circumference, Head Circumference, and Body Weight - (abstract) - The decrease in the length of the neck causes increases in the neck circumferences, and at the same time, it causes weight gain in the neck, face area, upper back and upper chest. ... The short neck is not caused by obesity. .... (Read the full text of the research article.)
The Circumference of the Head and Body Weight - (abstract) - An increase in excessive upper body weight goes together with an increase in head circumferences. Increases in the upper body weight don't cause an increase in the head circumferences, but both conditions are caused by poor posture and poor walking and running skills. ... (Read the full text of the research article.)
Positive Musculoskeletal Changes and Body Weight and Shape - (abstract) - The physiological process (productive physiological process) of weight loss caused by improved postural control and locomotor skills is hugely different from the physiological process (destructive physiological process) of weight loss caused by a medical condition like starvation, cancer, AIDS, etc., ... (Read the full text of the research article.)
Occupational Obesity - Sumo Wrestlers, Housewives, Nurses and Manuel Workers - (abstract) - Occupational physical occupation activity is the main reason for obesity in sumo wrestlers. The man-made environment (modern upholstered sitting furniture) is a contributing factor. ... There is no ground to think that adverse musculoskeletal changes are caused by eating too much or by eating the wrong food because it is obvious that no diet, drugs, vitamins, etc. will reverse adverse musculoskeletal changes. ... Since ancient times, people were doing housework, nursing, and manual work but still, obesity was rare (among children and young people it was unknown). If obesity was rare, then the reasonable question is: what is the cause for that just a few decades ago housework, nursing and manual work didn’t produce such a dramatic change to the musculoskeletal system? The answer is, .. (Read the full text of the research article.)
Cause for Fat Gain around Abdomen (Belly Fat) Explained - (abstract) - The process of fat mass gain goes along with fat mass inflammation (low-grade inflammation). ... (Read the full text of the research article.)
Two fundamental flaws undermine the current understanding (official science) of body weight management, obesity treatment, obesity prevention, and all other issues related to body weight management.
The first flaw is that weight loss professionals didn't know that some calories in food uptake, body waste through metabolic waste (faeces, urine, sweat, breath, etc.). (Since 2002, the academic community involved in obesity research has begun to realise that metabolic waste contains calories, but they are silent about it, pretending they always knew that to hide colossal embarrassment.)
The second cardinal flaw is that body weight is about calories and energy. For over one hundred years, academics have believed that human body weight gain happens because some food uptake by the human body converts to fat mass as energy. At the same time, they believed that body weight loss happens because the human body burns its body mass-fat mass. (Apart from a few unverified reports of spontaneous human combustion, a burning process of body mass never happens.)
Food like water and air nourishes the body. (in the human body, a burning process of the food, water and air doesn't happen ).
The more a person inhales, the more he exhales.
The more a person drinks, the more he urinates.
The more a person eats, the more he excretes.
a) Eating more doesn't cause weight gain. (In many cases, increased food uptake is associated with weight gain but in many cases is not. Some people can eat whatever they want and how much they like without experiencing any weight gain.) Until recently, most of the world's population was of average weight, and obesity was virtually unheard of among children. At the same time, dieting for weight loss was unheard of for most of the world population, and they used every occasion to enjoy food. The fear of obesity didn't exist at that time.
b) Eating less doesn't cause weight loss. (In some cases, a decrease in food uptake is associated with weight loss, but in any case, it is not.
In some cases, decreasing food intake doesn't cause weight loss. (when a person eats less, he fewer excretes.
In some cases, a reduction in food intake is associated with weight gain despite no changes in physical activity.
Severe restriction or an absence of food intake doesn't cause weight loss in everyone affected. Some lose weight, and some lose life without losing body weight.
