Vitamin D results in fastest Obese weight loss, and about 3X more pounds -2019

Obesity is associated with low Vitamin D (and treated by D as well) – Aug 2019 has the following
Fast weight loss by Obese Adults: Summary of the data as of Sept 2019
1) 50,000 IU Vitamin D weekly for at least 6 months
   If gut problems, should use a gut-friendly form of vitamin D
2) Add calorie restriction diet and light exercise after ~2 months*
   * Vitamin D levels must be above 30ng/ml to help with weight loss
   * Start losing weight 2 months sooner if take a 50,000 IU daily for a week
3) More weight loss if also add Magnesium or cofactors
   30% Improved Vitamin D response with Magnesium - a Vitamin D Cofactor
   Note: Magnesium reduces weight loss by itself as well
   20% improved vitamin D response if also add Omega-3 a Vitamin D Cofactor
  Note: Omega-3 reduces weight loss by itself as well
4) More weight loss if also improve activation of Vitamin D Receptor
   Vitamin D Receptor activator: 0-30% improved Vitamin D response
   Obesity 1.5 X more likely if poor Vitamin D Receptor – meta-analysis Nov 2019
Update Dec 2019 - Dr. Greger plant-based eating (not diet) for both weight loss and health.

Black line = US BMI increase
From 1980 to 2008, the average BMI for men rose in all but eight countries; the average for women rose in all but 19. Globally, nearly 10 percent of men and nearly 14 percent of women are obese, meaning their BMI is 30 or more. In some countries, particularly in the Pacific Islands, obese is average. Countries with a high average BMI tend to have high rates of diabetes, and vice versa.

GLP-1 weight-loss drugs (Wegovy etc): huge market, many competitors coming, many side effects, possible other uses - April 2024

Weight-loss drugs could end the obesity epidemic. But they won’t stop there Economist April 2024

  • " Sales for weight-loss drugs are estimated to hit $80bn per year by the end of the decade. "
  • "Almost 100 new drugs are in the development pipeline. Most of them hope to outperform Wegovy and Mounjaro by being easier to take, causing fewer side-effects or delivering more effective weight loss."
  • Reduces risk of heat attack by 20%, might help with Alzheimer's, addictions
  • "Another drawback of GLP-1-based medicines is that patients do not just shed fat, they also lose lean muscle mass. "

Invented in early 1800's
Never meant to be a measure for individuals
Currently 18.5 = underweight; 18.5 and 24.9 = normal; 25 to 29.9 = overweight; >30 = obese.
Grade 1 =30 - 34.9; Grade 2= 35 - 39.9; Grade 3 > 40
At best, though, B.M.I. is a crude measure that actually misses more than half of people with excess body fat,
It measures total body weight, not just fat. When Arnold Schwarzenegger was Mr. Universe, his B.M.I. was well in the obese range

Obesity Gene (FTO) was not a problem for people born before WWII NYT Jan 2014

First discovered in 2007. Confirmed many times since then.
Each copy of the FTO variant adds 3.5 pounds. 2 copies ==> 7.0 lbs
So, they think that environment (exercise) turns on/off genetics
Addional possibilites include:

  • decreased Vitamin D,
  • decreased Magnesium,
  • Increased antibiotics - which started just after WWII

  • The target for smokers is eight weeks or more without a cigarette — with a breath test to prove it.
