Dr. Norris J. Chumley Satisfied Life

Have you ever believed that turkey makes you sleepy? Or that if you drop something and pick it up within 5 seconds there are little bacteria gathered?  Or my favorite, going outside when it’s cold can give you a cold? There’s an interesting new book that came out recently, “Don’t Swallow Your Gum: Myths, Half…

There I was at the vacation hotel breakfast bar with the crowd of morbidly obese Americans.  I was having breakfast with them, embarrassed, doing my best to eat very slowly and having a very small amount of food. It was hard to sit alongside people who were bingeing like I used to.  But I love…

I was totally shocked at a hotel breakfast bar last weekend.  More than half the customers were morbidly obese, and having plate-after-plate of food.  One couple who could barely fit into their seats was particularly sad: the man had four giant plates of food, and the woman had three.  I realize it’s addictive behavior, and…

Coming up soon in the US is our Independence Day, otherwise known as the 4th of July.  I know that there are lots of readers in other countries, who also celebrate Independence Day at various times, for various independences and hard-won freedom.  So please feel free to think of this as a worldwide day of…

Are you a “Food Lover?” Me too.  But I’m not a big fan of the “Food Lovers Fat Loss System” which I wrote about not too long ago. I’m concerned because the website for it is only about sales and supplements, making a lot of claims that make me wonder.  After a lot of digging,…

Some people do well in gyms and health clubs, but most of my clients and readers do not.  Most people I know who have zealously joined gyms have gone for a few days and then stopped, wasting tons of money, and feeling guilty and ashamed for not having the willpower or resolve to keep it…

Florence Serecka wrote a very inspiring comment awhile back, commenting on my blog, “Lose Weight with God.”  It stuck with me, and stayed with me for a month now, and I want to share it with you.  I wanted to publish it sooner, but couldn’t until now.  What Florence wrote fits well with my theme…

I understand how it feels when you’re not at your best. Perhaps you feel flawed, unworthy, or hopeless. Maybe you feel sick, drained of energy, listless, or depressed. Or is it that you just feel so fat and ugly, and there’s so much weight to lose you don’t know where to start? It may sound…

A lot of readers have been asking why the lost weight comes back, despite diligent efforts.  While I cannot answer everybody’s specific problems, and it would be inappropriate for me to do that, I do often try to generally address questions that are on a lot of people’s minds (and bodies).  First – speak to…

I’m shocked and saddened this morning over our friend, MIchael Jackson’s death.  I’m also happy for him that he is now with his maker, after such a wild life of extremes. There’s an infinite amount being said and written about him, so I’ll be short and succinct. I loved his music, he entertained me, moved…
