But in all honesty, I think the problem isn't necessarily genetics, but that word..."diet"...it implies something temporary. The goal should not be "diet" but a honest lifelong change in one's approach to food and exercise. People yoyo in weight because they go on the Atkins diet, or South Beach, or any of a million diets, when they should focus on reforming their ways of eating when they aren't "dieting." The matching the diet to the person may help, but when you get down to it, it's still something temporary that doesn't address eating habits when not following the diet.

Meh....I'll just shut up now, because I could go on an extremely long rant about how much of a fraud 99% of the weight loss industry is and why people have so much trouble losing weight and keeping it off.
