It’s necessary to increase the dosage of natural iodine to a level high enough to flush out the other competing, toxic, heavier halides. Otherwise, no matter what you do (almost), the body will continue to compulsively put on more fat cells (and some muscle) to have a storage location for the fluoride, etc.

Other aggravating factors:
nutrient-free food. There’s no doubt the food grown on european soils, tastes miles better by comparison. North american food is equivalent to balsa wood. No flavour, and equally, no nutrition. Hence one reason to use MSG: although MSG additionally damages the body.
It’s got to start with the soil used to grow the food your family eats from. The soil has no nutrients. A starving body will keep firing the ‘eat’ indicators, because for all the calories, proteins and fats, there are no nutrients.

grains:
any kind of grain today, (almost without exception), is toxic according to the way it is improperly prepared and will produce, among other things, swelling and weight gain in a sizeable number of people. In those which do not ‘get fat’, they will and do, have other symptoms. Both of these types of affected people also can and do, have neurological problems. Grains are not meant to be ground-up and eaten. They are intended to be sprouted, then fermented for 7 days. Gentiles do not realize, they are in effect, eating the same ‘unleavened’ bread (regardless of quick yeasts and other methods) which, was so derided by common knowledge to be toxic, required priests to write an entry in their scripture as further compelling ‘evidence’ that such a thing was correct. It is not, never has been, never will be. Now everyone, from the ghetto or not, if they have any kind of western background, eats ‘crazy bread’ and other forms of grains (pastas, etc).

Getting back to natural iodine, it is not expensive. At a 10% concentration in water, the last retail north american price was 60USD/liter. Do not get preparations online, these are overpriced. I won’t go into the particulars here, visit the Yahoo group ‘IODINE’. People can help you there.

This is NOT AN ACADEMIC POST. I have actually been through weight gain, and permanent loss, and increased vitality and health, and have directly helped other people do the same with themselves. I speak from experience, not from a book!

Hard to say for sure, but I’m wondering if the primary benefit of the series will be that it helps mobilize folks who find it ultimately disappointing.

My conclusion: The series is schizzo. This is what happens when all scientists are deemed equal, all theories are accepted as facts, all opinions carry equal weight. For example, they allow fat people to sit, one by one, and blame themselves for yo-yo weight cycling. Then they gIve Rudy Leibel all of 30 seconds — he’s the scientist who did Leptin trials and reached the conclusion that weight-reduced people are different hormonally and metabolically from people who are naturally at the same weight. There are sound reasons that people experience yo-yo cycling beyond their having a weak will. This seems hopeful, but then the series virtually ignores Leibel and bounces back to more personal responsibility, willpower crap and shows a work environment where all the people are supporting one another, presumably to improve health, but it’s all measured in terms of weight loss (and no one even thinks about maintenance). Near the end of the episode, they profile a pair of weight-loss maintainers who, as far as I could tell, have been doing maintenance for a little over a year (arguably still in the honeymoon phase). Moreover, they have a rare supportive friendship. Most of us cannot share our maintenance with anyone because it’s tedious to outsiders. This pair is unusual on many grounds, but is presented as archetypal.

I was just disgusted with the program, mostly. More same-old-same-old.
