You'll notice the above statement, that's the key to understanding to
entire article. I'm not saying there aren't people who have a real
medical problem, but I am saying that 2/3's of our population do not
have a real medical problem.

As has been pointed out, keeping the weight off is a lifestyle change not
a diet. I know that and even though my official diet is ended I still
maintain my standards for eating and right now I'm trying to figure out
how many calories to add so that I maintain my weight and not gain it
back. I can live with my diet because it's healthy and merely requires me
to reduce my sweet tooth during the day. No extra work is needed beyond
eating the suggested portion sizes.

The one thing my Doctor told me that makes sense, those that lose the
weight slowly over time do better in maintaining it vs those who lose it
quickly by some fad diet. The why is simple, one is a lifestyle change,
the other is a quick fix that as soon as you remove the fix the weight
comes back.

Dude,

Some of the people in thse groups have been talking on the web here
for over ten years. I've been lurking here at least that long and
have recently started to join in. This is a community of people with
same interest. After awhile we start caring about each other and
started talking about other things. Our relationship started here, so
we are talking here, sometimes about things other than flying. We
have grown to know each other. Some have met and hung out in real
life. Some see each other once or twice a year at flying related
gatherings. Just relax and enjoy.
