## Resource

Dr. Lewis Meline I began my education in nutrition, exercise, and weight loss while serving in the United States Air Force nearly fifty years ago. Like many other military personnel (and civilians for that matter), I was very overweight and out-of-shape. It really bothered me to be like this, so I began to study everything that I could find to help me lose weight and get in better shape, eventually deciding to lift weights.​ Many different athlete and other diets were used over the years. They included very high protein intake and a variety of supplements. The supplements were very expensive (nothing has changed in that regard) and there were many times when I could not afford them. After several years of blindly following the various diet plans, and using recommended supplements, I began to notice that the expected results were not being obtained. There was no difference in my strength and muscle mass during the times that I could take the supplements and when I couldn’t. I also noticed that losing weight was no different whether I did or didn’t take various supplements advertised to make you lose weight. What was the cause of this? Was it poor supplements?

This observation bothered me and I began to research the answer to these discrepancies.​ During this time, I was accepted to medical school. Now, finally I would be able to get the answers that I sought. However, I was sorely disappointed.

It also did not address weight loss, except for a brief mention of the cons…
