No.

The current science is showing that obesity is so much more than "eating habits." An obese person's body has something going wrong in it -- it thinks it's bmi is too low, and so it 1) sends the person constant signals via hormones to find food and eat it, preferably food that is as calorie dense as possible; and 2) it slows metabolism way down so that the body holds on to all of the fat/stored energy it has. The body is confused -- it thinks it is far too thin when it is actually the opposite; this kind of confusion isn't uncommon in medicine, for example you see it with autoimmune (the body is confused and attacks it's own cells) and cancer (cells are confused and do not grow and divide in the way they should).

Thinking that a strong will and determination will solve someone's obesity problem is like telling a depressed person to put a smile on their face and they will feel better. Not very effective, and potentially damaging.

I'm talking about obesity here, of course, not the folks who would look better 10 to 15 pounds lighter. [/quote]
