My mom has lost 1,000 lbs. over the years. Every time she’d lose 5 lbs., she’d gain at least as much back.. There was nothing worse than the dreaded loaded question before the trip to the buffet, “Tell me when I’ve had enough?” I’d wish she’d just cut to the chase and smack me so I wouldn’t have to sulk on the car ride home.

Anyway, mom had a book whose title said it all, “It’s Not What You’re Eating, It’s What’s Eating You.” After you figure that out, you’ll be happier inside and won’t have to make such a friend of food. As for JC, WW, Tops, diuretics, speed, laxatives and surgery, nothing will work until you adress your internal discord. If you are seriously overweight, save the $200 that you will spend on diet food, and spend it on psychiatric therapy to adress your emotional clutter.Then you can have a guilt free meal, and be a better parent! (Sorry mom).

Seriously? If these diet programs actually worked, they’d be out of business.

Weight Watchers is actually firmly grounded in science, and that’s why they keep adjusting and updating their program as new research is available. When I was reviewing different diet programs because I needed to shed a few pounds, I dismissed JC and quite a few others outright because they use junk science and pseudo-voodoo for their hokery.
