Or something similar.<br /><br />The only thing that was unique about the intervention group as opposed to other trials that were not successful was the decreased n-6 intake and increased Stephan Guyenethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218114625524777250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-65965422220129369042009-05-08T14:04:00.000-04:002009-05-08T14:04:00.000-04:00Insanity is doing the same thing over & over a...Insanity is doing the same thing over & over again and expecting different results.<br /><br />I'm one of the former WW repeat customers that Anna mentioned.

I receive supplemental leptin subcutaneously, because my body does not seem to make it normally after losing 160 pounds (5'5 height, current weight 122, high weight 280).

You have only to follow the Low Carb diet boards to see that LC dieters dieting for weight loss have very few long term successes. <br /><br />Those of us who diet for blood sugar control do better, but that is because you can control blood sugar on a much less stringent diet than is needed for weight loss.<br /><Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384082448952856117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-66062788978324284222009-05-08T11:14:00.000-04:002009-05-08T11:14:00.000-04:00Along the same line, people who are practically li...Along the same line, people who are practically lifelong Weight Watchers members seem to forever be dieting (and rarely seem to keep their weight loss off long term). I'm sure the WW business model relies on repeat customers (not to mention those horrible prepared dinners and snack products).Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17033443643442246531noreply@blogger.com
