My Answer Would have Been

Had I been asked the question, I would have answered, “Not a thing, if you’re designed to be ‘big.’” However, if you are not designed to be big, and want to live a long time with high levels of mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health; want to delay the onset of some symptoms of aging; want to avoid the likelihood of a chronic disease;  want to hang onto your mental marbles as long as possible; then big may not be so beautiful. If you want to get your weight into an optimum range and desire to live a long time—I’m aiming for 120 years—my best recommendation is to avoid all dieting, period. Instead, get on board with creating a longevity Lifestyle (LLM) that you will maintain for the rest of your life. (The LLM Program Online is available FREE from the main menu at  www.arlenetaylor.org)
