I like your grandfathers advice, and our family lives by the same rules. When we went to buy a treadmill the guy working at the store (really old man) told us not to waste our money and simple eat a little less and take walks around the neighborhood. We took his advice and lost a total of 75 lbs. btwn both of us ( in 4 monthes) All these "special" diets seem to another reason for people to sheeple. IMHO.

I agree...
Atkins is another fad (that is already passing)

It is the long term results that mark success.
As in years...

Exactly. Ever notice that there is a new 'supplement' fad every year for the last 30 years. As new marketing opps are created, the older supps disappear(the vast majority, and I don't mean Vitamins.

A few years ago, I was really sick and went to an alternative doctor for extra support. He gave me a total sales pitch that was patently a lie, easily exposed using basic deductive reasoning. When confronted, he distanced himself from me(cut me off rudely) because I wasn't going to fork over 1000's to him. Since then, it is easy for me to expose.

Any honest Doctor will tell you the same.
