WHAT IS YOUR WEIGHT STANDARD?
By Rev. Phillip Goldfedder, M.D.

One of the definitions of the word “weight” that is found in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary is “the standard or established amount that a thing should weigh.” What is your weight standard! You or your health-care provider need to decide what this number should be rather than relying on some of those ridiculous insurance weight standards that appear to represent people who are actually suffering from anorexia. There are other false standards as well, and these are not limited to how another man or woman appears to you in real life, what you see in newspapers, photography books, magazines, the media, or on the Internet.

Please be reassured that the primary focus of this book will not be on the following factors:

  • Statistics on risks involved with being overweight.
  • Complications that result from overeating.
  • Reasons to lose weight.
  • Excuses we use to avoid losing weight.
  • Wonderful diets, menus, contradictions to acceptable and non-acceptable foods that can or cannot be eaten, vitamins, food supplements, metabolism, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and nutrition.
  • Research findings regarding heart disease, blood pressure, diabetes, strokes, the gall bladder, circulation, or other related physical conditions associated with increased weight.
  • Information on exercise, water intake, physical activity, stress, smoking, coffee, drinking alcohol, sleep, beauty, sin, or sex.
