I thought the Oprah show was good due to the fact that she talked a lot about emotional eating (and that many many people are overweight because we eat for the wrong reasons -- not hunger). I don't know what Bob Greene's qualifications are so I don't know how sound his advice is, truth be told.

Oh, another thing Oprah emphasized is that each person should customize a plan that fits THEM. It might be one thing from here another from there another from there -- what's important is that it works for you. This point can be good and bad -- following a plan sure does make things simpler but it's easy to flip flop around and not stay consistent.

I do think it's good that Oprah is talking about our weight problems in America. She has such influence and brings things to the forefront so quickly.
