This is old information that you are both quoting. . . Do your research. Obesity is now far more complex than simple 'over-eating' and 'under-activity'.

Specifically people struggling with obesity have often been on EVERY fad diet around, the majority of them not customised for metabolic compatibility and thus causing increased dysfunction of healthy body process and metabolism. This is further complicated by 1) lowered nutrition in food causing mis-cravings for certain foods 2) the western medical obsession for low fat diets, once again not targetting appropriate food for metabolic type 3) the multi-national food cartel with 'low-carb', 'low-fat', 'sugar-free' and other diet substances (you can't call them food) which are loaded with chemicals, and non-natural substances, further confusing the metabolic and biochemistry processes of the body.

The world standard for science-based, health-enhancing dietary choices is 'low glycemic eating' (http://www.glycemicindex.com) plus further adjustments to accommodate for different metabolic types.

Only this type of dietary program will encourage healthy eating, appropriate food choices and return to leaner bodies and wellness. Often long term obese individuals have to learn to make different food choices, eat more and more often (to switch on metabolism), drink more water, take more steps each day and take high quality food supplements for wellness and toxin removal.

Sometimes one has to 'walk in someone's shoes' so to speak to remove conditioned prejudices and, definitely in this day in age, we cant depend on the education we received at home or in school. The world is changing too rapidly.
