The Premise

The basis of weight management is good nutrition and exercise. But that is so simplistic that it's almost patronising. As an "instant-gratification" society it's no wonder we reach for every quick fix we can find. When the quick-fixes fail - opinions get cynical, self-image can plummet, and many people begin a vicious cycle of loss and re-gain.

Different things work for different people. Nutrition is individualistic. It's easy to criticize everything except that which worked for me - but that's not particularly helpful.

Eating healthily, and learning to use the best of the nutritional advice that's out there is a good thing. Falling into disordered/obsessional eating is not a good thing. The concept of dieting is not a good thing (going on and off diets all the time).

"The best diet is the one you don't know you're on." - B. Wansink
