Re: Obesity: Why are we getting fat? :epizza:
Sometimes simple substitutions in food or drink can add up to help fight the flab and fat. Although I'm partial to syrupy, sugary espressos, fruit juices, and snacks while I work or study, I usually substitute a cup of green or oolong tea (maybe with a little honey) or straight, no sugar espresso for the juice. It's cutting a few hundred calories of sugar here and there every day, but I know that eventually adds up.
One more thing I find that helps is to hunt for simple, flavorful foods. If you want sweets, pick fruits, and be picky about the fruits you pick. Kiwis, blueberries, strawberries, dried cranberries, oranges, etc. are among my favorites. I like them as snack foods. If you want more protein and some fats, take a look at yoghurt, cheese, or a cup of milk. Walnuts, peanuts, almonds, etc. are good too.

I guess you mean Phytolacca decandra (or octandra?), the ripe berries used in a tincture for immune system support etc?
Or are you talking homoeopathy of some part of the plant?
Green berries can be toxic to animals and humans.
What is you evidence/reference/experiences of using the herb/weed for obesity?

Re: Obesity: Why are we getting fat? :epizza:
Probably would be better to supply links to real scientific studies, medical articles, etc. The link you provided for said berries is garbage. It links to a commercial/quack site for diet pills...but that's not surprising since much/most of homeopathy is based on hearsay and quackery.

Yes very suspicious when the botanical name of the herb is not known.
My guess is that it is p hytolacca decantra

This is another obesity study from left field that shows how complex this area is when we all want to simplify it to "eating too much"

Increased Risk of Obesity Found in Untreated ADHD in Children and Adolescents
In a cross-sectional analysis of children and adolescents with ADHD, researchers found that untreated ADHD was correlated with an increased risk of being overweight. The sample, which was collected from the 2003–2004 National Survey of Children's Health, consisted of 62,887 children and adolescents aged 5 to 17. The results were published in the July issue of Pediatrics.
Controlling for the effects of gender, age, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic factors, and depression/anxiety, Mollie E. Waring and Dr Kate L. Lapane of Brown Medical School found that those youngsters who were not on medication had an increased risk of being overweight as compared to children and adolescents without ADHD. In comparison, those who were on medication were more likely to be underweight.

This is counter-intuitive
You would think that kids, tearing around like mad things, would use up more calories than those "sedated" by amphetamines. But the opposite seems to be true. How come?

The phytolacca berry gives good and fast results if we do some exercise and increse our physical activities like use of stairs instead of elevator.

Indeed, but for homeopathy, I don't really think it matters which herb you use or what you call it.
