Even he misses the point. It doesn’t matter what part of our diet is the “cause”, the reason all these programs fail is the same reason the WOD fails, people don’t give a crap. When the government tries to tell a whole bunch of people who are engaging in voluntary behavior to stop because it’s “bad” in general the people don’t listen. I dropped pounds because I wanted to, not because the government said anything, I didn’t like being fat so I stopped, it was a hard trip but it was worth it for me. For others, not so much. They’re eating food they like, doing activities they like, not doing activities they don’t like, and when the government starts bitching and moaning they change the channel.

This is 100% accurate. I am a p/t fitness trainer..never get on people(not my clients) at the gym about their weight or if they are doing something blatantly wrong. They just don't want to hear it. Not even worth bringing up. I encourage my clients but never brow beat them.

I can tell in 10 minutes or less if people are serious about losing their weight...they have to want to do it and listen to my advice. If they don't I walk away.
