Eat Less.

The basics of weight loss are simple: Eat less. Move more. But consumers still flock to the newest best-seller diets, hormone injections, alleged hunger-controlling cookies, enthralled by glowing testimonials about sumo-to-svelte slimdowns.

"There's nothing sexy about 'eat your fruits and vegetables,' " said Keri Gans, a registered dietitian. "We want to hear something else."

"Consumers need to understand that health and the ideal body weight are not found from a gimmick. It takes hard work. The end result is long-lasting success."

Now, I'm off to GNC to buy another few hundred dollars in suppliments, creatine, concentrated protein mixes, and pills. /Typical Consumer Jackass.

The article is mostly right, in that most overweight people eat too much, but then the representative of the American Dietetic Association spouts the old party line of "eat your grains" which is exactly what's causing people to overeat (along with causing most diseases of civilization). Low satiety, low nutrition, high glycemic load, and high potential for allergic and autoimmune reactions, and these are the official recommendations. Sigh.

Your ignorance is amazing. Protein, creatine, and some other supplementation have their place.

The ones that work (creatine, protein, vitamin d, fish oil) also tend to be the cheapest and most widely available as well.
