The Mathmatics of Weight-Loss
" Not only in research, but also in the everyday world of politics and
economics, we would all be better off if more people realized that simple nonlinear systems do not nececessarily posses simple dynamical properties." Biologist Robert Mays from his "messianic" paper in Nature ( 1976) "The Mathmatical Intuition" In my own field ( weight loss)this is the principal difference between the two major opposing camps. Low-carb (AKA Paleolithic Diet) people believe that by limiting the food variables to those inherent in our DNA and eliminating those only edible through technology, the results will fall within a normal human range - slim and fit. Low-calorie people believe that calories consummed vs. calories expended (simple dynamics) explains all weight loss. People ( hunter-gatherers) who traditionally eat paleolithicly, eat the most calories, and exercise the least are the thinist people on earth. It is only since the Neolithic Revolution ( the "Fall From Grace" in Genesis) when people began to eat the fruit of technology ( "Tree of Knowledge') that obesity was possible in humans. Fractal geometry had many of its' roots in biological science - when will Bariatic Physicians catch up? Why are so many weight loss "experts" ( are you lisening Dr. Phil, Dean Ornish, etc) so overweight? BTW, the first day's suggested meal-plan in my book contains 6500 calories. It works for all Primate species! Ray Audette ( 6' 150#) Author "NeanderThin" [a fractal approach to weight loss] www.NeanderThin.com |
