I agree, it is pretty much the same stuff we have heard over and over all our lives, nothing new.
Perhaps rearraged, and given an official CNN stamp, but same old same old.

It goes along with something I have said for a long time. I don't think the issue with people being over weight is lack of knowledge, it is lack of drive / motivation to start and stay on a plan.

Sure, plenty of us have been on other plans that don't work, I am not talking about those that tried something that does not work for them, I am talking about the larger number of people that are overweight or complain about being overweight, yet do nothing to change it, or do something for an unrealistic short period such as a day or a week and expect drastic weight loss.

I think the hardest part of weight loss is finding the motivation and strength (will power) to finally start it, and to stay on it, and that is a very hard thing for someone to teach.

I wish I knew how to teach it, for I would be rich.
