Seems to be the season of gloom and doom in relation to weight loss - perhaps we are influenced by the gloom of the weather, and the doom we keep reading in the papers about property values.  


This article has one redeeming feature, or two actually.  One, she refers to an excellent source of evidence, The Cochrane Collaboration.  Second, She has actually recognised one of the causes of overweight that most people don't see - the ongoing feeling of need to control weight.  That is definitely one of the causes that hides at the bottom of the iceberg.


What's the iceberg you say?  Stay tuned for more exciting information!
