The basic facts of a healthy diet (note... diet meaning food intake, NOT food reduction) seem far beyond the basic person's grasp. We pride ourselves on gym memberships and exercise, and yet I know of few people who do the work figuring out exactly what it is they are putting in their bodies.
Habitually, I stay beneath the caloric intake guidelines, that's just the way I am.
And STILL I have a hard time explaining to people that there IS a difference between margarine and butter, that bacon isn't necessarily a good choice, and that fruit eaten daily curbs the appetite.
Maybe we are all making incrimental changes, and I am not able to see the forest for the trees. But I STILL believe weight is going to be one of our nation's health concerns for generations to come. Where has personal responsibility gone?
Agree 100%

Not for some hypoglocemic sensitive people. That's what gets me, people assume because something works for THEM, it surely must work for everyone.
