Book Description

This book renders advice to overweight youngsters who would like to hopefully increase their longevity and have as much enjoyment and fulfillment out of life as possible. Young people arent aware of the serious mental and physical impact of obesity, as it is not just an adult problem. I present an honest and commonsense approach on how to eat healthy while keeping some satisfaction in life. I provide many recommendations that deal with real-life situations and truths instead of phony imaginations, present conclusions based on my having personally performed over 1,500 autopsies, and relate my own disgusting consequences of having developed atherosclerotic disease from being over four hundred pounds for over thirty years. In this book, I detail a very strict but ideal diet program that even a child can follow that resulted in my losing 272 pounds over a ten-month period, and whereby my continued adherence has allowed me to be able to maintain this weight. I offer advice on how to prevent some of the problems that I encountered by following such a rigorous diet. I also provide some very inexpensive and easy-to-prepare low-calorie recipes that I concocted that are good appetizers and filler-uppers. While writing in my usual witty satire manner, I discuss some potentially dangerous situations that exist, explain why certain drugs should be avoided at all costs, and mention several foods that should be eliminated from a young persons diet. I provide some of my own little homemade poems along the way so that I can keep the youngsters mind occupied and interested in what I have to say. Through my experiences as having served as coroner, I disclose many hazards that exist all around us and mention some simple things that young people tend to forget that, too often, result in unnecessary deaths. Also, by making overweight and diabetic adolescents aware of certain chemical reactions that are continuously occurring inside our bodies, hopefully they would be in a better position to understand and interpret my suggestions. So in brief, I have something to offer all my young readers from the most extrememy diet planto the most realistic and conservative. In a nutshell, I lived through what I now warn others about, since I found out too late what obesity could do to our body. Also, I explain why obesity is not just an adult problem and discuss both the teenage drug problem and the scare involving sexual diseases among our youths.
