Diet, not exercise, is the only way to lose weight: Duke professor
You might feel the burn, but you won’t see it.
“We’ve all been told that the more active you are, the more calories you burn,” said Herman Pontzer, an evolutionary anthropologist and Duke professor whose new book, “Burn,”(Penguin) is out now. “But bodies aren’t simple engines. We’re evolved, complex beings,” he told The Post.
Pontzer, a Ph.D. who has spent his career studying energy expenditure among the Hadza tribe, a group of hunter-gatherers in northern Tanzania, claims that diet, and not exercise is the key to losing weight.
By taking urine samples to determine their rate of carbon dioxide production, Pontzer found that although the Hadzas have a much more active lifestyle than their urbanite counterparts — members of the tribe hunt for food, while office workers eat Seamless at their desks — both expend roughly the same amount of energy.
“We’re on fixed incomes,” Pontzer said of human physiology. “When you spend more energy on physical activity, the body spends less energy in other places.”
In other words: While working out can have plenty of positive effects — reducing joint inflammation and building strength, endurance and mental sharpness — it won’t do much to lower the number on the scale.
But not everyone agrees. “I wouldn’t go as far as to say exercise isn’t important in weight loss,” said Sean Heffron, a cardiologist who treats obesity at NYU Langone. “Exercise increases overall metabolism, which leads to further burning of calories, increases muscle mass and maintains lean tissue better, burning more energy in the long run.”
“It’s not quite as simple as calories in, calories out,” said Cordelia Carter, a sports medicine specialist at NYU. “Better cardiovascular fitness and strength training prevents being ‘skinny-fat’ or ‘fat but fit’ — both of which aren’t great.” Heffron suggests high-intensity interval training to get “the most bang for your buck” but agreed “without a change in diet, weight loss is not going to happen.”
Pontzer argues that even our understanding of ideal caloric intake is wrong-headed. “Nine-year-olds burn 2,000 calories per day; for adults, it’s closer to 3,000,” he writes. In Pontzer’s model of “constrained daily energy expenditure,” our bodies adjust how we spend our capped number of calories based on lifestyle.
A sedentary person’s body will use energy for “nonessential” bodily functions, like amping up stress responses. For a star athlete, massive physical energy expenditure will draw away calories from other systems, such as reproduction and immunity. This can lead to excessive fatigue and burnout known as “overtraining syndrome.”
Pontzer has a surprising takeaway: “You’re not in control of your metabolism,” he said.
That’s why he believes the only way to slim down is through diet. The Hadza tribe’s balanced, seasonal omnivore menu — with carb from grains, starch from tubers and sugar from honey — makes for a good example. He suggests eating protein- and fiber-rich meals that are satisfying and keep you full longer.
As Westerners, he said, we get overly caught up in excluding entire categories of food. “If you villainize certain foods, you get to these weird conclusions like, ‘An apple is bad for you because of the sugar content in fruit,’ ” he said. (One exception: processed foods, which Pontzer said, “blows our brains up … by overwhelm[ing] our brain’s reward systems.”)
He’s also suspicious of trendy low-carb, low-sugar “paleo” or “carnivore” diets, which claim to mimic the diets of hunter-gatherer tribes. In reality, Pontzer said that the Hadzas are not nearly so strict about what they ingest.
If your goal is to lose weight, Pontzer suggests reducing caloric intake by 3,500 calories per week, or 500 per day. He said this will result in weight loss at a rate of about a pound per week.
“Use diet to watch your weight,” he said unequivocally, “and exercise for everything else.”

Pelosi’s election ‘reform’ would make 2020’s chaos the norm
Nancy Pelosi wants to turn America into a one-party nation. The House speaker has no qualms about trashing the Constitution to kneecap her Republican opponents. Her bill HR 1, which will be voted on this week, would rig the electoral system to favor Democrats.
HR 1 is being sold as a reform to make voting easier. In truth, it makes cheating easier. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and imposes a set of national rules. For starters, it bans state voter-ID requirements. Anyone can show up on Election Day to vote, registered or not, and simply sign a statement claiming to be a legal voter.
It also compels states to send out absentee or mail-in ballots universally and to count ballots that arrive by mail as late as 10 days after the election. Say goodbye to Election Night finality. The chaos of election 2020 will become the norm.

Video shows balcony railing collapse that killed 7 college students
Seven college students died and four were injured during a tragic incident in Bolivia when a railing collapsed, sending them falling from a fourth-floor balcony.
Wild video of Tuesday’s incident showed a mass of students from the Public University of El Alto packed onto the balcony before the railing gave way.
The tragedy happened in the university’s financial sciences building, as students attempted to enter a lecture hall for an assembly.
The footage, obtained by The Sun, also showed one young woman pushing another near the railing moments before it collapsed.
Bolivian Police general commander Jhonny Aguilera Montecinos on Wednesday said the woman seen in the struggle will be questioned as part of the investigation, local outlets reported.
Montecinos also attributed the cause of death for the victims as being due to “multiple trauma.”
“We regret the tragedy that occurred at the Public University of #ElAlto (UPEA), where there were several deaths and injuries,” Bolivian President Luis Arce wrote on Twitter.
“Our deepest condolences to the people of El Alto and to the suffering families. We await the prompt clarification of the facts.”

David Mintz, Who Invented Tofutti As A Dairy Substitute For Kosher Meals, Has Died
David Mintz, who invented the once-popular Tofutti dairy substitute out of a desire to cater to observant Jews who could not mix meat and milk, has died.
His death at 89 on Feb. 24 was first reported by COLlive, an Orthodox news site that covers the Chabad-Lubavitch community. Mintz had a relationship with Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the famed leader of the Hasidic movement, and sought his advice before opening his businesses, the site reported.
No cause of death was given.

Shulem Weiss Suffers Stroke – Just Two Months After Commuted By President Trump
 |
| Sholom Weiss in center |
Shulem (Sholam) Weiss, who just two months ago had his prison sentence commuted by outgoing President Trump, suffered a stroke on Tuesday night.
Sources say that Weiss suffered the stroke while at his Monsey home, and was rushed by Hatzolah to the hospital where is being treated for the stroke, which appears to be serious.
As Din had reported, former President Trump commuted the sentence of Shalom Weiss the night before he left the Whitehouse. He had already served over 18 years and paid substantial restitution of what is believed to have been the longest-ever white-collar prison sentence: A whopping 835 years.
Trump said he commuted his sentence because he is 66 years old and suffers from chronic health conditions.
Please say Tehillim for Sholom ben Leah.

Israel Suspects Iran Connection To Massive Mediterranean Oil Spill
Israeli authorities said Wednesday that a Libyan-owned tanker suspected of smuggling oil from Iran to Syria was responsible for spilling tons of crude into the eastern Mediterranean last month, causing one of Israel’s worst environmental disasters.
Over 90% of Israel’s 195 kilometer (120-mile) Mediterranean coastline was covered in more than 1,000 tons of black tar, the result of the mysterious oil spill in international waters.
The ecological disaster, one of the worst in the country’s history, has caused extensive damage and forced the closure of beaches and a ban on the sale of seafood from the Mediterranean.
Environmental Protection Minister Gila Gamliel said the Panamanian-flagged “pirate ship owned by a Libyan company” — identified as the “Emerald” — filled its stores with oil in the Persian Gulf, then sailed with its transmitters off toward the coast of Syria.
Ministry officials said it is believed to have dumped its oil in the eastern Mediterranean, around 70 kilometers (40 miles) off the coast of Israel, on Feb. 1 or 2.

Biden Senior Adviser: “Cash Payments” For Black Reparations Are Coming — ‘We Won’t Wait For Congress’
Biden Senior Advisor Cedric Richmond just announced a push for Black reparations saying, “we are going to start acting now.” Richmond told “Axios on HBO” that the Biden administration won’t wait for Congress to act. Last March, Biden said “cash payments” for reparations should be looked into (see video below).
Richmond mentioned free college tuition at historically Black colleges and universities as a part of reparations:
“If you start talking about free college tuition to and you start talking about free community college in Title I and all of those things, I think that you are well on your way.”
This follows a vote in Virginia last week in which the state House of Delegates voted 61-39 to give reparations in the form of free scholarships to black students.
The big question is why people who never owned slaves are being punished for something that happened long ago. Also, how will the commission decide who pays and how much they pay?
Not all people of African heritage are onboard with the idea.
Black conservatives like Larry Elder and Herschel Walker denounced the effort by the Biden administration. Elder made a good point when he said, “Figuring out who owes what is going to be a hell of an achievement.”
Candace Owens spoke out on reparations in 2019 during testimony before the House Committee on Hate Crimes and White Nationalism. She’s against it.
Instagram celebrity Judith Nwandu interviewed Joe Biden during a campaign stop. He pandered to the black voter by saying he believes it’s a good idea to study whether “cash payments” should be given to blacks for slavery reparations.
As liberals attempt to push the idea of reparations for black Americans, most Americans are smart enough to see through their scheme to use taxpayer dollars as a way to gain votes from them in the upcoming 2020 election.
A Fox News poll in April found that 60 percent of Americans oppose paying cash reparations to descendants of slaves, while just 32 percent support it. A Rasmussen poll in the same month found that just 21 percent of likely voters think taxpayers should pay reparations to black Americans who can prove they are descended from slaves.
Black Americans have taken part in a massive awakening since President Trump was elected in 2016. Trump has done what no other Republican before him had the courage to do, he’s pulled back the curtain on the self-serving Democrats and exposed the dirty tactics they’ve employed for decades to convince minorities to support them at the polls.

Orthodox rabbis today 100 times more stringent than Maimonides
Today’s Orthodox rabbinical courts are 100 times more stringent than the venerated sage Maimonides was regarding conversions to Judaism, a former minister who has proposed a compromise reform on Israel’s conversion laws charged Wednesday, blaming the ultra-Orthodox parties for this week’s High Court ruling recognizing Reform and Conservative conversions.
Monday’s High Court ruling determined that people who convert to Judaism in Israel through the Reform and Conservative movements must be recognized as Jews for the purpose of the Law of Return, and are thus entitled to Israeli citizenship. The bombshell decision shattered the longstanding Orthodox monopoly on officially recognized conversions in Israel.
Moshe Nissim, a veteran lawmaker and minister, was tasked by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2017 with heading a special government committee that proposed an overhaul of the conversion system in Israel, which would have removed it from the control of the ultra-Orthodox-dominated Rabbinate and establish a new state-run Orthodox authority instead.
But the 2018 proposal was never adopted by the government due to ultra-Orthodox and national religious opposition.

Charedi party likens Reform and Conservative converts to dogs with kippot
United Torah Judaism, an ultra-Orthodox party, released an election campaign video Tuesday night that seemingly compares people who convert to Judaism through non-Orthodox denominations to dogs wearing kippot.
The video, published online, drew condemnation from opposition leader MK Yair Lapid, who said that with this message, UTJ had joined the ranks of anti-Semites who often compare Jews to dogs.
The campaign video was released after the High Court of Justice ruled earlier this week that Reform and Conservative conversions to Judaism conducted in Israel would be recognized for citizenship purposes. The decision, which dents the Orthodox monopoly on religion in Israel, was widely condemned by ultra-Orthodox lawmakers, who vowed to pass a law to overturn it.
In the video, a series of photos were shown featuring dogs wearing the traditional Jewish kippa on their heads and wrapped in a talit, or prayer shawl. The images were apparently drawn from so-called Bark Mitzvah events held by some US Reform and Conservative Jews for their pet dogs.
As the images paraded on the screen, a narrator declared, “In the High Court of Justice, this is a Jew” while joking of one dog that “his grandfather was a rabbi, of course he is Jewish!”
The video ended with the message that only the UTJ party “will protect your Judaism, that of your children, and your grandchildren” and the campaign slogan “First of all the Jews.”

Lefties Still Rioting in Portland ...but You Won't read this in the Media
Portland citizens are finally fed up with the lefty goons engaged in a rolling riot across the city for most of the last year. Will the city’s leaders who’ve enabled the violence take note?
Amid a two-hour Saturday-night rampage by 150 “protesters” through the Pearl District, fed-up locals shouted at the crowd to give it a rest and “go home.”
This time, the rioters’ target was the Immigration and Customs Enforcement service; fliers read, “No borders! No nations! Abolish deportation.” But not “no vandalism”: They smashed windows of restaurants, banks and grocery stores, destroyed a security car and left anti-ICE graffiti on buildings along the way.
Police, stretched thin by multiple shooting incidents around the city, made only two arrests. Then again, Portland prosecutors routinely spring these thugs, so what’s the point?
Other cities have calmed since the riots after the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police, but Portland has seen endless outbursts. Hundreds of Antifa marked Inauguration Day by vandalizing the city’s ICE building and the local Democratic Party headquarters.
Locals have had enough. One man screamed from his balcony at Saturday’s mob: “Ten years from now, what are you gonna do? Keep doing the same thing?”
Probably — unless the city finally starts treating them as the criminals they are.

Mom’s heartbreak after baby swallows battery, dies: ‘It didn’t have to happen’
Texas mother Trista Hamsmith lost her 17-month-old daughter, Reese, in December due to complications from swallowing a battery — and she’s doing her part to ensure the toddler did not die in vain.
“Kids are dying,” Hamsmith, 39, told the “Today” show. “We’ve got to do everything we can to get this information to parents and put pressure on the industry to make changes to protect the kids.”
Hamsmith, who lives in Lubbock, noticed that Reese, who was typically a lively character, began wheezing. She was also congested and lethargic, and a pediatrician said croup — an upper-airway infection that generally affects children — was the cause.
Not long after, Hamsmith noticed a button battery had gone missing from a remote control; later, at a local emergency room, doctors confirmed that Reese had swallowed it, and it burned a hole in her esophagus.
“This story needs to be told,” Hamsmith added. “It didn’t have to happen.”

Prices of banned Dr. Seuss books skyrocket on eBay
 |
| Dr Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel, 1904 – 1991) sits at his drafting table in his home office with a copy of his book, ‘The Cat in the Hat’, La Jolla, California, April 25, 1957. |
These books are going away — but not if you’re willing to pay.
The prices of six Dr. Seuss titles exploded on eBay after the beloved author’s publisher said it would stop selling them because they contained racist images.
Prospective buyers placed bids in the hundreds of dollars Tuesday for vintage copies of the books that were listed for as little as $4.44 over the past week.
A 1955 edition of “On Beyond Zebra!” fetched a leading bid of $670 by 10:15 a.m. Eastern time — less than a day after it was put up for auction at a starting price of just $14.99.
