Yeah that works great, the 40% of the country that's obese just never thought of it.
Works for me,,,turned vegetarian last year,,,down to 140lbs...and work out a the gym 2 or 3 times a week....81 this year.
Of course they've thought of it. They're not doing it because consistent dieting and exercise is a pain in the ass.
Dieting and exercise "don't work" for most people because most people STOP doing it after a while.
Aside from legit medical conditions, the reason people are fat is because they've decided they'd rather not do the work.
