Truth:

Exercise alone is not enough to induce weight loss if intake is
excessive.

Truth:

It was extremely unlikely that he was eating exactly 5,500 calories a
day.

Instead, he lost three stone because he was eating less than his body
needed each day.

Truth:

Exercise is neither necessary nor sufficient for weight loss if intake
is excessive.

The rest of the medical community knows that those who have metabolic
syndrome (MetS) as a consequence of being overweight is close to being
at 600-800% higher risk of having a cardiovascular "event."

My guess is that if Dr. Stroud ever injures himself, he would soon
become overweight.

You remain in my prayers, dear Zee whom I love.

May you accept Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, someday, so
that you too will escape satan's rule and torment of your soul after
you die.

Please do consider the following before it is too late:
