[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the lesson of the dieting folks has been real in the sense that if you are overweight/obese and try to LOSE weight and keep it off, the deck is stacked against you. There is evidence your body fights to regain the weight and long-term prospects for success are dim.

Therefore--the key must be to work with people to never get overweight in the first place.  The emphasis we seem to have on never talking about weight with children may be detrimental.  Of course no one wants to create an eating disorder or mental anxiety, but it's critical that we teach our youth that once you are fat, it's very, very difficult to return to a healthy weight and maintain it.

I really believe this has to be the key to managing the problem.  Sure, we can debate sugar vs. carbs vs. calories on and on, but they absolute bottom line is that you must prevent too much weight in the first place.[/quote]

I figured out young that it was really easy to get fat and relentlessly difficult to get un-fat. Maintaining a certain weight has always been a priority of mine, mostly through eating less. American portions are stupid. I’ve never restricted the type of food I eat, only how much.[/quote]
