I think we are all a bit different. If you're healthy and trim, there probably isn't any need to change what you're doing. But, if you're obese and out of shape, you need to make some changes. I know a lot of fat, physically unfit people, but I don't know any that are happy about it. Many of them are ignorant and just don't know why they are like they are and a lot of them just don't have the inner strength to change the way they do things.

Eat normal proportions of healthy food and get exercise and you'll be much more fit. Learn about nutrition and try to get to the gym everyday.

This may be a satisfying answer to you but is not helpful or accurate. The whole point of the article is that we have been misled in our definition of healthy foods because of an inaccurate food pyramid promoted by the government without any real research. It has taken decades for scientists to examine the food pyramid critically and realize that it is making people obese and promoting type 2 diabetes and that avoiding fat is further compromising people’s health.

Inner strength sound good and so does self discipline but calorie counting, portion control and exercise does not yield results for many people. Talking about going to the gym every day may make a person feel self righteous but many people are caregivers,or working two jobs to make ends meet and don’t have that time or funding. Its just an easy thing to say that puts the blame on an individual with genetics that makes them especially sensitive to carbohydrates or some additional factor that we have not uncovered yet. There is good information in this article that, if more widely dispersed, could do a lot to improve the lives and health of many people in a way that eat healthy foods, in “normal proportions” and go to the gym will not.

I'd love to know how much stock you have in any of the national chain gyms or "nutrition" stores.

Seriously, you sound like one of those paid spokespersons on TV hawking some law firm or other...........
