What I hate the most are the excuses - as if it isn't an issue of eating too much.

You can "white-knuckle your way past the pastry tray and not eat something — but the strategy doesn't work in the long term."

Uh, yes. Fitness is an issue of determination, hard work, and will power. It is a lifestyle of self discipline.

"They're actively trying to debunk the commonly held idea that people with excess weight are undisciplined or lazy."

Hilarious.

Whence cometh the Japanese obesity rate if discipline has nothing to do with it? In that instance, there's a population with low metabolism, office jobs and vending machines. Are they thinner than planets like your average Cook Islander because of magic genetics?

'And if you manage to lose weight, it fights — fiercely — to get you to put those pounds back on. '

'You can find out more on obesity and weight loss on a CBC Radio documentary called Through Thick and Thin. '

'But when you diet, your body becomes more fuel efficient, burning fewer calories to accomplish those same tasks. '
