A New Path to Weight Loss What causes obesity? The obvious answer is “too many calories.” But increasingly, researchers believe that consuming too few nutrients also plays a role. Being overfed and undernourished may sound contradictory, but consider: • Most Americans are deficient in potassium, fiber, magnesium and vitamins A and E. • 60% don’t get five servings of fruit and vegetables a day. • Two-thirds are overweight or obese. • One-third of calories in our diets come from junk food, alcohol and soda. The Nutrient-Weight Connection As biochemist Bruce Ames, PhD, has observed: “If you sit down to a meal that doesn’t give your body the nutrients it needs, your brain is likely to get the signal to go on eating until you get them.” His theory inspired the development of the Dole Diet, which supports weight loss by providing 100% of your nutrient needs.
