What is/are the cause(s) of overweight disorders and obesity?

Overweight disorders and obesity occur when caloric intake exceeds caloric metabolism.  However, the composition of the diet plays an enormous role in body weight health.  The two most important causes of poor metabolic health and overweight disorders are:

• Dietary excesses in carbohydrates, particularly refined sugars and starch-rich foods.

• Protein deficiency syndrome (see below)

Dr. Scheele has written a book which explains, in detail, how dietary excess of carbohydrates and protein deficiency lead not only to overweight disorders and obesity but also to Metabolic Syndrome, the cause of accelerated aging and early death in our society.  This book, entitled “Power Amino Acids and Supercharged Health, the Secret to Weight Loss, Metabolic Health and Revitalized Youth” will be available for download on this website at a nominal charge in the near future.
