Vincent N. Cefalu Sr. M.D. Doctor'S Prescription for Longevity and Survival

Annotation

This book offers advice to people who would like to hopefully increasetheir longevity and have as much enjoyment and fulfi llment out of lifeas possible. I present an honest and commonsense approach on how toremain as healthy as theoretically possible while keeping some credibilityand satisfaction in life. I provide many recommendations that deal withreal-life situations instead of fantasies and present conclusions basedon my having personally performed over 1,500 autopsies and my owndeleterious consequences of having developed atherosclerotic disease frombeing over four hundred pounds for over thirty years. In this book, I detaila very strict diet plan, the perfect diet, which I created, that resulted in mylosing 272 pounds over a ten-month period, and whereby my continuedadherence has allowed me to be able to maintain this weight. However,I relate the many problems that I developed in following such a rigorousdiet program and offer prophylactic advice to people electing to loseweight extremely fast so that they wont encounter the same problems. Ialso provide some very inexpensive and easy-to-prepare low-calorie recipesthat I concocted which are good appetizers and fi ller-uppers. In my usual witty, satiric manner, I discuss many dangerous drugs thatshould be avoided and mention several foods that should be eliminatedfrom a persons diet, along with furnishing some of my own littlehomemade poems along the way. Through my experiences as havingserved as coroner, I disclose many hazards that exist in our environment,mention some simple things that people tend to forget that, too often,result in fatalities, and present my views of many of the over-the-counterproducts. By making overweight and diabetic individuals aware of certainphysiological processes that are continuously occurring in our bodies,hopefully they would be in a better position to understand and interpretmy suggestions. In brief, I have something to offer all my readers from themost radicalmy diet planto the most realistic and conservative. In anutshell, I lived through what I now advocate against, since I discoveredtoo late what obesity could do to the human body.
