    The weight loss industry is just that: A multi-billion dollar industy that will tell you what ever you want to hear about losing weight. You want to eat carbs? You will find a ton of Dr's and authors selling their plan. You want to give up carbs? Same thing. Looking for a quick fix? Again, you can find a ton of pills, powders and goodness knows what else...all for a price and all promising the same wonderful results as the next. I know, because I have tried most of them. What it boils down to is: calories in and calories out. However you want to get there, or whatever foods you want to eat to get there is all up to you....for free.

    http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2zVxA6yipv4 look at this - a picture says a thousand words!

    I notice they conveniently leave out Mark Sisson and his wife, as well as Robb Wolf and his wife.

    Of course they're going to find examples of people who are overweight to show how awful the diet they don't agree with is while finding examples of thin people to show how wonderful the diet they do agree with is. It's called a bias. I can find plenty of photos of fat vegans. Does that instantly mean that veganism is the wrong choice?

    I don't pay attention to Dr. Oz or any of those other As Seen on TV salesmen. They seem like they should be hawking pills at a carnival. But anyways, I've eaten high carb all my life and my blood sugar is awesome and I've never been overweight. I think the key is that I eat high fiber, whole grain carbs and as little processed and refined carbs as possible. I cook/bake/prep most of my own food from scratch. Oh, and most importantly, I stay within my calories!!! :flowerforyou:

    I watched a show where he said he does not endores any product. His show is like one long infomercial though. I gave up watching after a couple of times. Nothing is in depth.
