Reducing calories/fat/sugar will NOT reduce obesity, because obesity is caused by salt sensitivity leading on to fluid retention/sodium retention/water retention and weight gain. - The safe, sure, fast way to reduce obesity is to avoid salt and salty food, because this reduces the fluid retention.
Lose weight, reduce your risk of most cancers, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, stroke, heart disease, heart attack, vascular dementia, osteopenia, osteoporosis, hypercholesterolaemia, depression, liver and kidney problems, and improve your health in many other ways without drugs or expense by eating less salt! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!
