Obesity: five facts

[Aractus]

Right and how is that of any help to other people? So if you published a book let's say and claimed that others who followed what you did would loose weight and get in shape, and it transpired that around 94% of people who bought your book did not loose any weight long-term, who's fault would that be? Would it be their fault for not following your advice properly and sticking it out, or would it be your fault for not providing a product that could deliver on its promise?

But lets face it, do most obese people follow any advice, no matter where it comes from ?.

Yes they do and the advice doesn't work - or it does work, but only short term.

Jenny Craig is a program where the customers have a meal plan designed for them by qualified nutritionists; and still it does not work long-term. It only works short term, and then they will regain the weight.

The advice has an incredibly strong opponent. Nature. UK radio was discussing routine stomach ties this last week to combat the much more expensive resultant effects of diabetes and heart complaints, for example.
