the dieting industry loves the no results part. it's great.
yo yo dieting is bad. people should practice weight management. permanently. the problem is: most people don't have a clue how.
oh, i'm aware of the criticisms of the so called obesity panic... can't quite get away from the fact people are probably heavier than they should be, and i'm talking carrying fat, not dense bones, or muscles, or metal implants.
also the "fat acceptance" thing. i used to weigh 290 apparently as a result of getting mono at 25 out college - it was pretty alarming. i didn't like or accept it. i set about to fix it. i'm constantly managing myself now, and sometimes i slip up, but it's a daily thing. i need to learn more, and mostly i need to workout at least an hour a day. motivation :)
imho, modern peoples is just to soft and they need to DO things, for hours a day. walk, dig, run, play, swim, be physical, get out there and do stuff. my profession (hacking) is esp bad for this.
