unpopular ideas

This group looks so dead. This amazing, since I am quite convinced that the
only way to lose weight is by restricting calories.

Even low carb diets seem to work by reducing appetite, and thus reducing
calories.

Cubit --

I agree with your observations, including your view that the way to
lose weight is by restricting calories. (Simply to exerrcise one's
self to lower weight is possible but difficult.)

Restricting calories on a regular basis is tough, however, and it's
difficult for many people to maintain a low calorie way of eating,
especially in the face of so many others saying things like, "You'll
starve to death!" "Eat to maintain your strength!" Overeating is a
major health problem in America -- undereating certainly is not a
problem for most of us.

Losing weight is both as easy and as difficult as retricting one's
calories severely enough for long enough. (If it was easy for all of
us, Americans would not look the way many of us look.)

Anyway, I agree with you!

Yours,

Caleb
