[quote=Anonymous]Here is an excerpt from an article by Dean Ornish:
[i]
"Although people have been told for decades to eat less meat and fat, Americans actually consumed 67 percent more added fat, 39 percent more sugar, and 41 percent more meat in 2000 than they had in 1950 and 24.5 percent more calories than they had in 1970, according to the Agriculture Department. Not surprisingly, we are fatter and unhealthier."[/i]

The entire article is worth reading and although I don't subscribe to some of Ornish's views mainly because I know it would be impossible for me to sustain the type of diet he recommends, he does make some legitimate points.

I have said this before and I will repeat it: many of those who lose weight and then regain it do so because they follow unsustainable diets. These diets produce quick results but once you are off them, you will just regain all the weight. The search for the quick fix is the bane of those who are trying to lose weight.

A diet where you can eat everything but in moderation with emphasis on portion control will yield results for most people - perhaps there are a few for whom it will not work. But for the vast majority of people they are flat out unable to moderate the quantity they eat and delude themselves that they are eating less than they really are.[/quote]
