Dealing with Obesity is a complex issue and if you look around you'll see that shouting at people to eat less and exercise more is frankly not effective.
As much as I appreciate the complexities, the only longterm solution is a lifestyle change, which does mean eating less (or at the very least more healthily) and exercising more. Depending on the starting conditions that could be as simple as taking the stairs rather than the lift and graduating from there.
Ultimately any 'quick fix' or crash diet is likely to end up in putting the weight back on.Proud owner of +5 Xeno Geek PointsComment

Reading the LighterLife website, they recommend 'taking it easy' on exercise whilst on their diet but caveating that with a big 'Exercise is important' strapline. How much exercise did your friend do? Not much, I'll bet.
You might lose a bit of weight with 'miracle' diets/pills but you'll put it back on. There is no substitute for a balanced diet and lots of exercise. It really is that simple, and in my experience fat people look for any excuse - 'it's genetic', or 'it's more complex than that' etc etc.

I am certainly not advocating this type of diet, frankly I think its crazy, but the point I was making (albit badly ) was that not all overweight people are happy with the situation and many try to do something about it. What about all the people who have lost weight on a healthy diet + exercise regime, only to gain it again? It is a complex issue and frankly tw@ts such as your self make me want to vomit. (but dont worry I'm not bulimic)I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

I have always been a little overweight and done just that. Being on the bench has given me a chance to get off my @rse and do something about it. I am now comfortably running 4x30 mins a week and hope to be tackling a 10K in the next month or so.
I'm also a big pharma shareholder so quite happy with the prospect of these pills being pushed and popped by as many people as possible. Should give me a nice divi income through my (fat free) retirement.Last edited by moorfield; 18 March 2009, 17:38.Comment
