Patient discussion about physique.

Q. I am overweight. My vegetarian roommate is having a very good physique. I need some advice on how to start. I am overweight and I like to eat lamb as I find it as the most tasty food in the world. But this is increasing my weight and I want to reduce my weight and be in good shape as well. I know it contradicts the idea of keeping in good shape. My vegetarian roommate is having a very good physique. I envy him a lot and the only place I can beat him is in the music class. I wish I could become like him. I need some advice on how to start. I cannot go with exercise and look out for some other healthy suggestions.

Q. Can anyone suggest nutritive diets to improve physique? My cousin who is very thin wanted to join police department. But due to his physical condition he could not achieve his dream. He became depressed and fell sick because of these failures. Some of his close friends suggested that he could go on some nutritional supplement, but this does not help him. He is not interested in joining in any other job. So I am worried about his future and want to help him to achieve his goal. So can anyone suggest nutritive diets to improve his physique?

A. I agree that there are some criteria fixed to qualify as a police professional. From your question I assume that he is in the age below 25. You could have added about how long he was having that nutritional supplement. God has provided a vast variety of natural diets. Looking at primitive societies in hot countries, I feel that one can get slightly more than half of all calories from fruit and nuts and slightly less than half from meat. We are definitely omnivores by descent - either a totally vegetarian or a totally carnivorous diet would not be "natural". This is not unhealthy or in any way "wrong". I request you to encourage him to eat his favorite foods from this natural diet which would improve his physique soon so he can qualify as a police professional which has been his life-long goal. My best regards to him.

It was sparked off by a paper for the journal Evolution and Human Behaviour by the Finnish psychologist Markus Jokela, entitled Physical Attractiveness And Reproductive Success In Humans: Evidence From the Late 20th Century United States.
He told the British Science Festival: "If you were just looking at Hugh Hefner's physical attractiveness you might not be that impressed with him.
In the study, Achim Schutzwohl and his colleagues asked more than 400 male and 400 female students in the US, Germany and Italy to judge the role played by physical attractiveness in their willingness to go out with someone, go to their flat, or go to bed with them.
