To reclaim their salmon — and their health — the Karuks are using the tribe’s epidemic of obesity-related illness as a lever in a dam re-licensing pending before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. [3]
The tribe caught about 100 chinook salmon last fall, a record low. [...] It was not until the late 1960s and the 1970s, when dams and irrigation ruined one of the world’s great salmon fisheries, that fish mostly disappeared from their diet. [...] They ate wild salmon at every meal — about 1.2 pounds of fish per person per day. [4]
Find out what the Tribe’s diet was like! [2]
– Centuries before federal nutritional guidelines told Americans how to eat healthfully, the Karuk Indians had figured it out. [4]
Isolated here in the Klamath River valley in the rugged mountains of northwest California, the Karuk stuck with their low-carb, low-cholesterol, salmon-centered diet longer than perhaps any Indians in the Pacific Northwest. [...] Eating mostly processed food, some of it federal food aid, many Karuks are obese, with unusually high rates of heart disease and diabetes. [3]
With the help of professional fitness trainer Jessie Pavelka and psychotherapist Stacy Kaiser (of “Celebrity Fit Club” fame), each woman will change her eating and exercise habits over the course of three months and confront the issues that caused her to gain weight initially. [2]
Have no fear, the Lifetime Network is here. [...] They have a person Trainer and psychologist to help them change their eating and exercise habits, but the best part is that they confront the problems that got them in this shape in the first place. [1]
I AM DESPERATE AND I AM PASSED THE AGE FOR THE WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY, BESIDES WITH MY HEALTH THE RISK IS TOO GREAT. [...] Every weight loss program on the planet seems to miss the secrets to getting thinner and staying that way. [2]
