A lot of my posts talk about weight, but it's not for aesthetic reasons. If that's your goal, great, but my primary goal with OptimizeMe Nutrition is to make a dent in the general health of the US population (and beyond?).

While I often use the concepts of quantity and quality to explain concepts of weight (calories, macronutrients) and health (micronutrients) separately... the truth is weight and health are inextricably linked.

Last week, I read the 2020 American Cancer Guideline for Cancer Prevention (diet and lifestyle), and at the top of the recommendation list: Achieve and maintain a healthy body weight throughout life. Cancer is one of the many diseases in which risk increases with weight, but this section stood out to me (PMID: 32515498):

"In 2000, an IARC [International Agency for Research on Cancer] expert panel report showed sufficient evidence that excess body fatness causes cancers of the female breast (post-menopausal), endometrium, kidney (renal cell), esophagus (adenocarcinoma) colon, and rectum. By 2016, this list was expanded to include cancers of the gastric cardia, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, ovary, and thyroid, as well as multiple myeloma and meningioma. In addition, there is some evidence that excess body fatness probably increases the risk of advanced, high-grade, or fatal prostate cancer and cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx."

Ideally, health risk is how we frame the weight discussion. And that we can talk about nutrition and wellness without always having to include pictures of abs. Maybe this will help with body positivity and acceptance, while still having a worthwhile goal of maintaining a healthy weight.

It is worth it to note: this is risk. Not a guarantee. Meaning all weights are susceptible to chronic disease.

Do you want to pay to play? Any significant change requires you to have some skin in the game. And if there isn't, you likely aren't going to see much change.

Hunger is part of the weight loss process, but have you noticed we also use "hungry for change" to describe a slew of non-diet wants? What does being hungry mean in creating the right pressure and dose for actual meaningful changes?

And the problem with both (processed oils and sugar) in most diets is the dose. People are eating too much. No freaking out, no lack of clarity on what the problem is or what to do with it.
