The poor woman has been on Weight Watchers eight times previously and each time gained back all the weight she lost and more; however, this time she is convinced it is going to work.

The definition of insanity is repeating the same behavior over and over and expecting different results.

Quote:

The third woman had weight-loss surgery, lost a lot of weight, and can eat "only small portions of meats, cheeses, eggs, and vegetables, virtually swearing off bread, pasta, cakes, and most sweets with refined white sugar." There is absolutely no mention of low carbing anywhere in the article and no mention of the fact that what the weight-loss surgery patient (the only one to successfully lose a lot of weight) is eating is a lowcarb diet.

This is also something that hit me when I was watching a show on weight loss surgery. I realized at that moment that what the surgery does is force you to lowcarb. Since you can only eat very small portions of food, you must make them nutritionally dense. And as we all know, refined carbs is just the opposite.

There is something very disturbing and sad about the fact that this very invasive surgery is pushed on adults and children when the ultimate outcome of the procedure is to make you eat smaller portions of low-carb food. If you buy the "low carb is unhealthy", message wouldn't you be forced to agree that the surgery itself is unhealhty ? Shouldn't the media be warning people that undergo the surgery that they are about to embark on this very damaging and unhealthy eating program ? What gives ...

Oh yes, I almost forgot... low-carbing cost you the price of a book, whereas weight-loss surgery runs into the thousand of dollars.
