Original post. All the old weight loss clichés, but said sensibly and kindly. This one got me thinking, where many others haven't.
His "weight loss secrets" are less than worthless unless he's been able to keep the weight off for five years. Statistically speaking, he's going to gain back every pound and then some before then.
That's like pointing at a guy lifting a 250 lb weight and going "it's only impressive if he can hold it up for 10 minutes."
We've got a bunch of touchy-feely downvote-cranky Pollyannas who don't give a fuck about science as long as someone's telling them what they want to hear.
