Instant weight loss diets are for people who are fat and cannot balance with calorie consuming and calorie burning.

Although this is true, you are not eating heart healthy, and will ultimatly be less healthy. Good eating habits and exercise is the only way to lose weight.

I'm so tired of hearing from thin people who have never struggled with weight issues that I wouldn't be fat if only I weren't so lazy and wasn't a glutton. I work full time, go to college full time, and have a teenager and a husband who require constant care-so for someone to accuse me of being lazy, or not having enough "perseverance" really stings. I also don't eat hordes of food, I've cut out fast food altogether, drink diet sodas, cut out sweets, etc. I'M STILL FAT. What this article doesn't address is how someone is supposed to deal with their hunger or their appetite, since exercising AND eating less is bound to produce ravenous hunger. So how do we fatties deal with that huh? here here Frank!

Because I injured myself, had to stop going to the gym and I gained back a pound or two but the shape I gained during those two months, stayed. So, regular exercise is almost everything one needs to do... It worked for me... But it's a good article, if I didn't know any better or anything else, I would follow the instructions. They're logical.

I've lost 150 pounds (went from ~400 to ~250 currently, hoping to get to 220ish) and NOT by a fad diet, but by following these 4 steps. They're presented here a little simplistically but basically this is what you need. Psychology and eating habits are the #1 facet of healthy, permanent weight loss, by far. Frank is full of it.

While it is true that the lower intensity your activity the higher percentage of calories from fat are burned. There is much more to the picture than this. You actual burn a higher percentage of calories from fat just sitting around then you do running, but you are not recommending just sitting on your ass to burn fat. What really ends up mattering is how many total calories you burn during and after the workout. Most people will have much more success in fat loss and fitness with high intensity work done at short intervals. There are two main factors that are involved with people being overweight. One, people spend too much time sitting around. Everyone just needs to be more active in something. It may not be jogging, but find something to do for a few hours each day that involve moving around. If you are not sure what to do, find an amateur sport you like, and train for that. Two, people each too much processed food. 90% of what you can buy at a grocery store people have no business eating. There is no reason for an adult with moderate activity levels to eat anything made from flour, or with high amounts of sugar in it. All you need to eat is fruit, vegetables, and meat.

I have had weight and food issues all of my life, and these comments just sound like the same stupid record playing over and over again. I have lost significant amounts of weight in my life in only two ways: 1. Low caloric intake and LOTS (2-3 hours per day) of exercise (this definitely works, but it also kinda sucks for the obvious reasons). 2. Low carbohydrate intake, with normal/moderate exercise. And everyone I know (I realize this is anecdotal, but I've got a link to scientific evidence below) who has changed to this type of eating has had outrageously good results. So your advice here (to fat people [I can say that, since I'm fat], who really like to eat) is to "find a book on nutrition" (NOTE: there are THOUSANDS, many written by snake oil salesmen) to change WHAT you eat, and also change the AMOUNT you eat. Let me tell you, that advice SUCKS. Here is the most recent article about low carb diets that I've read: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F04E2D61F3EF934A35754C0A9649C8B63 From a Fatty's perspective (that's what *I* like to call myself), this is a MUCH better approach, with MUCH better results. Now all I've got to do is restrict what I eat to one group that I already love (I can eat just about all the meat you put in front of me). I don't have to change my psychology of eating very much at all: if I'm sad, I can binge to my heart's content on protein and fat, AND THAT'S OK. I know that I'll lose weight and get healthier over time. Sorry about the rant. I have no affiliation with the NYT or anyone they interviewed. I just think this kind of post took absolutely no research, and that you're really uninformed about the thoughts and feelings of the people who would be reading your blog.

Fact of the matter is, people today eat too much shit. There is literally a fast food join every half mile around where I live. That coupled with the fact no one bothers exercising any more.
