You should AVOID ALL of them. ALL commercial diet industry/weight loss industry salesman are FRAUDS.


SCIENCE has a lot to say about the regulation of body weight. It's complex, completely at odds with the commercial weight loss industry, and the UNknowns are far greater than the knowns.


A reliable source of information? Dr. Linda Bacon, Dr. Douglas Coleman ( obesity scientist)

Ha. This post is useless. Dr. Linda Bacon and Dr Douglas Coleman are borderline, probably, weightloss industry/diet industry salesman as well.

Losing weight isn't rocket science, it's about not being ****ing lazy.

Laziness has NOTHING to do with it. Educate yourself. There are MANY, MANY hard working obese poeple who exercise dedicated.

YOu have A LOT of learning to do.

Haha. I have probably educated myself and learned more than you ever will.

Most obese people aren't that way due to medical ailments - it's usually atone to over-consumption and lack of physical exertion.

Edit: Yes, I'm better than you.

THEY ( the agents with many real life fights to their credit that they have won against huge dangerous people) are the best REAL LIFE fighters. NOT the UFC guys.

A 120 female DEA agent being attacked by a 280 pound man is NOT going to use those nonsense UFC homo erotic moves ( that will get her hurt or killed ) , She is gong to use EFFECTIVE SELF DEFENSE MOVES at least until a large dude steps in.

And believe me I HAVE seen female DEA agents defending themselves VERY good aginst these guys. Suprisingly.
Need I say more?

Actually, it has A LOT to do with being lazy. Most obese people are that way because they are either lazy, or uninformed and keep going in circles. Maybe 5-10% of them at most have legitimate medical issues causing their obesity.

Yep. This is true. Not sure why the poster couldn't figure it out. It's not that hard.
