  • Synopsis

    Lecture was based on answer the Rebbe gave someone complaining about his losing war w/ obesity. The Rebbe answered that doctors are over-exaggerating the ill effects of obesity, and he should mentally step away from the negativity of obesity, be in a more happier state of mind, which will increase his metabolism, helping him to lose weight.

    So, it’s NOT ok to be fat, however, stay POSITIVE, and you will lose it.

  • Interesting but..

    So it is true that stress can chemically induce quicker storage of fat, but I don’t think one should ignore the effects of obesity by just staying positive as a means of losing weight. Obesity obviously killing many people due to heart disease and diabetes not just due to negative thinking.

      The point is that it’s not “obviously killing many people”. The risk has been greatly exaggerated. .
