Instead of dieting start eating breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper. Avoid eating late meals & snacks. Consume 6 raw or steamed vegetables daily, 3 fruits, whole grains, beans, legumes and high fibre foods.
Reduce Carbohydrates, white flour, white rice, white bread, salt, fried foods, all artificial colors and flavors, soda drinks, fruit juices and excess coffee.
The natural supplement 5HTP derived from the amino acid tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin. That’s the brain chemical that regulates your craving for food. It makes you feel full.
You can get more tryptophan in your system by eating high-protein foods like chicken, fish, and grass-fed beef. You can also get it by taking a 5-HTP supplement. (5-HTP occurs naturally in the seeds of an African plant, Griffonia simplicifolia. Scientists discovered an enzyme called P12 that is found just below the skin of white potatoes. This enzyme promotes the release of CCK, a hormone that turns off hunger cravings and helps us feel satisfied. Although we may regularly eat potatoes, we do not benefit from this potato enzyme because it is killed by cooking.
The Global Post lists the world’s top ten fattest countries, as measured by the percentage of the population with a BMI [Body Mass Index]of more than 35.

Obesity is now a worldwide problem. Dubbed “globesity,” the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that by 2015 there will be more than 2 billion overweight and 700 million obese adults worldwide.
The problem, aside from the wide prevalence already, is that the trend is showing no sign of stopping, which will have disastrous health effects on a worldwide scale.
A number of studies have demonstrated links between obesity and a whole host of serious medical conditions.
The World Health Organization projects that five years from now, the number of overweight adults will increase to 2.3 billion, up from just 1.6 billion five years ago. This is Globecity! We are in a mission to solve this global problem before it cripples our health care system and our economy.
