I applaud the article in the Montreal Gazette this morning that's subject matter referred to the irresponsible promises made by fad diet and weight loss companies.
Weight-loss programs scamming Canadians
Weight loss can never be achieved in a sustainable way, when the person attempting to overcome weight challenges looks for quick results. It's common for most diet systems to under emphasize the importance of exercise and good nutrition. This is commonly done because they know that the vast majority of people find exercise and healthy eating, too great of a challenge. You'll see the recommendation of exercise and better nutrition in the small print if at all on their products.
Weight loss is about taking control of your life and making quality decisions. Sure this is a process that takes more time than what weight loss programs will promise, but anything worth doing; requires hard work.
Following a process that focuses on quality of choices and self sufficiency will eventually free you from limiting beliefs that have held you captive to emotional eating and seeing food as a conflicting force in your life.
As an individual trying to find a solution to your weight loss needs, I urge you not to look to systems that negate the importance of creating a healthier relationship with food. Don't replace your dependency on food with a dependency on yet another miracle cure. Your goal should be toward independence. It's the inability to free one self that condemns most over weight people to this perpetual cycle of losing and regaining weight.

Eat to live rather than live to eat.
I stole this from a book so the credit goes elsewhere but it makes sense.
I agree, it makes total sense. I just hope the book wasn't the "Smart for life diet cookie management system."
