Just drink reasonably and you should be o.k.
Hi coollikeme

Unfortunately its not as easy as "Just drink reasonably and you should be o.k"

You only have to look at the USA and you will generally see an overweight population who given the advice.."Just EAT reasonably and you should be o.k.".. doesnt obviously help. One of the most advanced and knowledgeable societies with the power of information yet they are eating their lives away (along with an unreasonable amount of their share in the earths resources).

Addiction to food is no different to alcohol in that respect. they both are an addiction and both will kill you in the end prematurely.

What people need is a change of perception of the problem they have. Not some quick fix cure in a bottle or the newest gadget that will eliminate their problem in just 7 minutes a day (guaranteed or your money back)
