Mr. Molyneux, I would like to inquire as to what software you use to create presentations along with a video of yourself on the corner simultaneously.

I would also like to know if it it possible to make it work in realtime.

[stefbot]

I've done a video and how I do my videos, you can have a look for it if you like... :)

Mmmm! I've always loved water! Water is wonderful, my favorite beverage by far!

Someone who has a short attention span might also lack the intellectual fortitude to take in the message.

Training to pay attention for at least moderately short times is only healthy.

Also...Drew Baye is another individual who promotes this method.

Dr McGuff's book is loaded with scientific evidence and reasons why his method is the proper method for human exercise.

Similar to your refutation of humans are inherently evil and you respond "Humans inherently adapt"...he approaches the cardiovasular system as needing to "adapt" and the only way to warrant an adaptation is to go above normal or slightly above normal activities (walking and running included)

Stef...Im not sure if you have ever listened to or read any writings of Dr. Doug McGuff ... He wrote a GREAT book called "Body by Science" and has a couple lectures on YouTube as well.

The reason I mention him is because he takes a more evolutionary and scietific approach at "exercise" than the recommendations of Dr Lustig and really the entire community..

12-15 minutes a week of REAL exercise, along with normal daily activity, is recommended by Dr Doug McGuff - his book provides the evidence.

I think the best way to understand Dr. Lustig's message about exercise is to understand that your body will compensate for higher energy output with increased appetite. What he's saying is important though is the stimulation of your metabolism that exercise provides. Stimulating your metabolism is important in maintaining a proper functioning body, your body that exercises will function better then a sedentary body.

@Bearographer

You write: "The Dr is wrong" - you state absolutely nothing to contradict him.

Then you write, "low fat...adds sugar" and "Processed food uses a lot of sugar too" which the Dr. exactly SAID. WTF?

"[Blah blah blah] fat transfat [blah blah] heart disease."

What the hell does that have to do with the liver and the metabolic syndrome? Not a damn thing. It's like you're bitching about how heart disease isn't considered in anti-cancer treatment/discussion.

NOT THE SAME SUBJECT!

For an article that discusses how govt dietary guidelines are making Americans sick and fat:

Google "Courtney West's Blog, Animal Protein and Saturated Fat Can Lead to Healthy, FAST Weight Loss."

I have had gout for years, and tried just about everything without success.I reduced meat to, minimum once

a week, stopped alcohol altogether.I was having LOTS of fruit and vegetables and my gout was worsening.

Finally I have read something about Excessive fructose increasing uric acid.I experimented reducing my fruit

intake to 2 a day, and bingo within days I saw a dramatic improvement

@meow0meow7 indeed, exercise does very well in "jump starting" the process, however... the point I am sure he is trying to make here is that if you exercise without a proper diet, you essentially attempting to run your car down the road with dirty gasoline. it will only do you harm.

[Twomonthago]

Very good thank you
