Research on its health code, scientific findings that enlarge the understanding of its code, and specific diet and lifestyle recommendations are disseminated to SDA membership through specific diet and health programs. This educates the membership on how their bodies work and helps them understand the relationship and consequences of specific foods and exercise on health, vitality, and spirituality.
The SDA focus on diet as an integral and active part of its religious practice is so dominant that an entire missionary ministry is built around it. The LDS obesity epidemic is not because a specific Word of Wisdom -based nutrition and weight loss program is not available. It is. Even though this program has been adopted by over 1. Fisher studied over severely overweight people who lived in Utah county, the county where BYU is located.
In his study, Dr. Fisher learned that most of the overweight subjects got that way through years of eating refined carbohydrates sugar and flour-based foods and excess animal fat followed by a series of yo-yo, merry-go-round, low-calorie, near-starvation diets.
Fisher had a brainstorm. He wondered what would happen if he fed his chronically overweight LDS research subjects large amounts of specific, wholesome, healthy, and nutritious food. If sugar, flour, and fat-rich foods were poison to the body, he thought, could natural, nutritious food be medicine to heal it? When Dr. Fisher suggested this to his subjects they were skeptical and fearful—thinking if they started eating large amounts of food they would only get fatter.
Fisher then mapped out a list of healing foods, a variety of menus with recipes and even shopping lists to start his subjects on a new way of thinking, eating and living. Within a few weeks of wholesome and plenteous eating of deliciously prepared complex carbohydrates, moderate levels of fat and healthy amounts of plant protein, the fat began to melt away from Dr.
Worrying too much messes up your metabolism. They are a group that spends too much time sitting in meetings and not enough in physical activity.

Many think their weight problem may be due to multiple pregnancies, fatigue, and stress. Sounds logical, right? Most weight-conscious people know that a typical can of regular soda contains about a hefty cup of white sugar or corn syrup and is dense in calories. So, many calorie-conscious consumers avoid the sugar-laced drinks. Artificial sweeteners are at least times more concentrated in sweetness than regular sugar and wrecks havoc on the brain.
When sweet levels get too high or concentrated our brain triggers what's called a "cephalic response. When this happens our insulin levels increase to dangerous levels, our body manufacturers excess insulin, our cells become insulin resistant insulin is needed in the cells to burn fat and the sugar is converted to fats stores. We get fatter and fatter and our appetite for fatty and sugary refined carbohydrates food dramatically increases resulting in powerful cravings.
This ultimately, over time, leads to chronic obesity, pre-diabetes and ultimately Type-II Diabetes with all of its unpleasant complications.
