I'm not a dieter...I don't have the will power to try, but I am a believer that in order for people to loose weight they need to change their lifestyle and habits, for the long term, not to deprive oneself, but to enjoy all foods in MODERATION. I look forward to following Mr. Greene's advice as I work to change some of my eating and exercising habits.
