Johnxyz:
I'm 75 years old. I have seen diet plans, weight loss drugs and weight loss surgery come and go. I have personally known two people who died from taking Fen-Phen. I've seen and heard about a lot of people who have died or became permanently disabled from weight loss surgery. (They keep blaming the "old" surgery, even when the new became the old.) Basically, your body can't tell the difference between someone in a concentration camp, and someone who wants to look more fashionable. We will never see the eradication of obesity.
Dammmn you 75? That’s crazy to be here at this age.
