Douglas Crockford's take on weight loss


This looks like some good common sense about losing weight.

Permanent Weight Loss

"... It requires two things: First, you need to be getting enough to eat. If your body thinks it is starving (which is how most diets work) then it stays in power-saver mode. You need to convince your body that you are not going to starve. Second, you need to work for your food. The hunters and gatherers did that mostly by walking around. I recommend at least an hour of walking every day. If there is just enough to eat, and if we are active, then the power-saver mode clicks off and slowly the fat comes off. ... The demons will tell you that there are no calories in a broken dorito or a broken cookie. Don't listen to them. ..."
