You can lose weight and keep it off pretty easily—no expensive programs, no expensive book, no crazy exercise routines. To lose weight, you first must understand why most of us gained weight in first place. The epidemic of obesity began about 50 years ago when we changed what we eat dramatically.
Thank you for these occasional reminders. Cyndie and I have read Kessler's "The End of Overeating" and found that the message is the same as "Intuitive Eating" by Resch and Tribole. It may be an oversimplification but I've decided that if there is a label indicate what is in the so-called food, it is not real food, processed in some way better to avoid.
My previous cardiologist sent me to a nutritionist who had storage crates full of flattened boxes so that she could refer to the labels. Once she commented that "a calorie is a calorie." She had previously advised that I avoid rib eye and have NY strip or tenderloin if I must have red meat. With the calorie comment, I thanked her for giving me permission to eat all rib eye steak I wanted. She said that she had not said that but I said that she certainly had with the "calorie is a calorie" comment. I did not return to her afterward.
I am down a few pounds and very thankful for your help.

Excellent info! Thanks Bill. Maybe I can dial back and be less fluffy!
