The Obesity Cure
1. Dr. Scheele’s New Book:
The Obesity Cure
George A. Scheele, M.D.
Roadmap to Metabolic Health and
Sustained Weight Control with
Power Amino Acids®
2. Meet Dr. Scheele
Dr. George A. Scheele, Creator of Factor4
Weight Control®, to combat obesity and
metabolic disease:
• Board Certified in Internal Medicine
• Princeton BA & John Hopkins MD
• Professor at Rockefeller University, Yale
University School of Medicine and Harvard
Medical School.
• Two time Nobel Associate (1974 & 1999)
• First to figure out how to separate all the
proteins in the human body (est. 20,000) by
inventing 2D gel electrophoresis
“As a medical doctor with over 30 years of
research, my personal mission is to reduce
worldwide obesity and metabolic disease. That is
why I created Factor4 Weight Control®.”
– George A. Scheele, MD
3. The Obesity Cure
Book Purpose:
Call Attention to The Obesity Epidemic
Since 1980:
• Adult obesity has doubled (2x)
• Childhood obesity has tripled (3x)
• Morbid obesity has sextupled (6x)
Resolve the Long-Standing Diet Wars
• High protein/fat diets of Atkins
• Low fat diets of national policy
Provide a New Approach to Weight-Loss Health
AIM: To Resolve the Obesity Epidemic
4. Solid Scientific Research

Digestive and Metabolic Health:
The Basic Science
The Cure
The Obesity Cure Connects the Dots
For the Clinical Breakthrough
5. Dietary Causes of Obesity
Contributory Factors:
• Excess calories in a sedentary society
• Excess saturated & trans fat
• Excess salt
Root Causes:
• Excess refined sugars & carbohydrates
• Protein Deficiency Syndrome – New!
Weight Loss Paradox Explained
6. Sugar is Addictive
Hallmarks of Sugar Addiction:
• Dependency
• Cravings
• Withdrawal symptoms
• Yo-Yo metabolism (3 meals & 3-4 snacks per day)
Hallmarks of Sugar Pathology
• Increased levels of sugar & insulin in blood
• Insulin resistance to protect cells
• High blood insulin levels shut off fat metabolism
• Forever high insulin levels: Fat Forever!
The Modern American Diet (MAD)
7. Sugar Consumption Increased
Mayor Bloomberg displays
the amount of sugar
contained in soda drinks
In Higher Dosage Sugar is Toxic:
• Over the past 100 years daily sugar consumption has increased more than
10-fold, (from 2 to 22 teaspoons per day)
• Sugar soda drinks have increased in size from 8 oz to 12 oz to 20 oz to 64 oz
• HFCS is responsible for increasing obesity rates in America since 1980
• HFCS & sugar show multiple toxic effects at high concentrations:
Glycation of proteins lead to cross-linked proteins called Advanced
Glycation Endproducts (AGEs)
The immune system seeks to destroy these foreign-looking bodies
Resulting inflammation leads to endothelial plaques and arteriosclerosis
• In 2011 two fifteen year old girls required liver transplants in UCSF for fatty liver
resulting in cirrhosis
Sugar: Pure, White & Deadly
8. Sugar Addiction
The Perfect Storm:
• Consumers addicted to HFCS
• Food Industry addicted to profits
• Farmers addicted to government subsidies to
grow corn ($3.5 billion a year)
Sugar Leads to Fat Stored in 3 Places
• Fat depots throughout the body
• Fat in the Liver
• Fatty plaques throughout the arterial system
Result: Worldwide Obesity & Metabolic Disease

19. Obesity & Metabolic Syndrome
Overweight Disorders are Part of the
Metabolic Syndrome:
• Selective protein deficiency leads to a wide variety of
chronic degenerative disease
• Overweight disorders & obesity exist in a spectrum of
metabolic diseases associated with Metabolic Syndrome
• Includes chronic degenerative diseases that are
responsible for accelerated aging and early death
• Obesity is the most obvious manifestation of Metabolic
Syndrome
Two Epidemics: Obesity & Metabolic Disease
20. Epidemic of Metabolic Disease
Number of Cases in the US alone:
Disease Incidence
Overweight disorders 150 million
Obesity 75 million
High blood pressure 34 million
High cholesterol & TGL 30 million
High blood sugar 90 million
Type 2 Diabetes 30 million
Cardiovascular disease 57 million
Autoimmune disease 50 million
Cancer 18 million
Osteoarthritis 20 million
Gallstones 19 million
