The NHS continues to give the wrong advice about how to reduce obesity...

I see that the NHS is still giving completely the wrong advice about how to lose excess weight...)o:

NHS Choices advice about how to reduce obesity

REDUCING CALORIES DOES NOT REDUCE OBESITY! - You better believe it! - Obesity is not caused by overeating. It is caused by fluid retention, frequently because of taking prescribed medications, especially steroids such as prednisolone, prednisone and HRT, and anti-depressants such as amitriptyline. (When doctors prescribe drugs that cause sodium retention and water retention they should warn the patient not to eat salt, or food containing salt, while taking the medication. When they do not give this warning, the inevitable consequence is considerable weight gain.) - See Huge weight gains reported by patients on prescription drugs - Independent on Sunday - Researchers are beginning to catch up with what I have been explaining for years!

Read here about the groups of people who are vulnerable to salt: vulnerable groups

Obesity can be easily reduced by seriously reducing your salt/sodium intake and eating plenty of fruit and fresh vegetables. - It is important not to restrict calories. - 'Slimming' or 'dieting' is unnecessary, ineffective and often harmful.

Lose weight by eating less salt! Go on! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!
