One of my favorite writers is Aaron Sorkin (a few good men, the american president, the west wing, and the absolutely brilliant sports night, plus a few others0 He really knows how to turn a phrase... there's a scene in the american president with Michael J Fox and Michael Douglas that's pretty much answers the question

People want leadership, Mr. President, and in the absence of genuine leadership, they'll listen to anyone who steps up to the microphone. They want leadership. They're so thirsty for it they'll crawl through the desert toward a mirage, and when they discover there's no water, they'll drink the sand.
Lewis, we've had presidents who were beloved, who couldn't find a coherent sentence with two hands and a flashlight. People don't drink the sand because they're thirsty. They drink the sand because they don't know the difference.

Change the word leadership to results with weight loss.. Desperate people are willing to do anything to get results - hell I was one of them... and tried everything in the book, magazine, website to get results - and there'd be minimal progress... It took me a lot of years to get to the cold hard truth - that simple and consistent was the way to go... that results were not found in a mirage..

my favorite diet I did - years ago - and I've talked aobut this before -there's a similar thread here that i'm too lazy to look for... the susan powter diet - all carbs, low protein, no fat... I lost a bunch of weight -my hair fell out in clumps, my skin looked worse than it does right now... and I ended up with a case of pnemonia that had me in the hospital - gained all weight back when I started eating again...

That would have to be the Warrior Diet.

Under eat during the day and gorge at night.

"The rationale is that the historic "warrior", in order to succeed in the environment of the time, had a primal need to cycle between undereating during the day (when physical activity and danger were always present), and overeating at night (when able to rest and eat a good daily meal). Modern humans in a changed environment can therefore restore health and fitness, by returning to that cycle with the Warrior Diet."

oh, so during the day they do typical warrior stuff, like sit at computers for 9 hours and hunt for food at the local grocery store. :D

I was watching 10 Years Younger with a woman who had dreads down to her knees. They cut them off and they weighed less than 2 lbs. Shaving your head wouldn't get you anywhere. You could lose that in a week of good nutrition and exercise.

I saw this episode,I remember being surprised they weighed so little. I was glad to see them gone though; they were cringe worthy.
