"The cause of obesity is now found!"

With these exact words my good friend and at that time colleague Nicolaj opened the conversation at lunch. (Two things are important to emphasize in order to fully understand the irony of the situation: a) Nicolaj is a size XL (or was, is more accurate, he has lost a lot of weight since that time), b) the lunch canteen was a buffet with many delicious dishes. 

The dialogue regarding the latest landmarks in medical science was ready to be continued and everybody looked with breath withheld and eyes gazing at Nicolaj who, with a plate filled with probably everything from the buffet, looked like one who would explain the genetic mapping of mankind from a metabolism-point-of-view.....

The surprise was big, when Nicolaj with a loud, and clear pronunciation claimed that: Obesity is a human construction error!

"Obesity is the result when the mouth is bigger than the asshole!" 

One of Nicolajs trademarks has always been a very well developed sense of humor, and another classic remark from Nicolaj is the following (when somebody offers him candy, chocolate or similar). No, thanks, I've chosen the slim line..... (kind of funny when you're weight is somewhat above 100 kg.). Nevertheless Let's get back to the "human construction error!"

Way too many experts are trying to make something as simple as a healthy living, to rocket science. Food and diets where proteins, carbonhydrates needs to be counted on a meal-by-meal basis. Training and physical activity needs to be performed in specific anaerobic zones, or with expensive equipment suitable for astronauts etc. Let's face it: It's not a disease, and you don't need to be a rocket scientist in order to pursue a healthy lifestyle. In a crazy-busy everyday you need some simple routines to fit in the tough schedule that most families experience, with work, children, family, cooking, dog-walking, etc. etc.

THIS is the essence of this blog.
