'The Obesity Crisis' is surely 'The Lack of Intelligence Crisis'  in 99% of the cases.

Somebody told ne yesterday they'd gained seven pounds through lack of exercise.

I said ''you don't want to exercise, you'll wear yourself out.

You need your glands or your hormones seeing to.

I remember reading Nigel Lawson's diet book 30 years ago as I attempted to shed a few pounds ... I wasn't badly overweight but 7 pounds would have made me even more adorable (according to my mirror!)

Anyway Nigel was a fat ba$tard and had slimmed down impressively.
His most compelling point was that

YOU RARELY SEE OLD PEOPLE THAT ARE FAT.

Yes a lot of film stars live to ripe old ages.
They've spent their whole lifetimes trying to look good. Which usually means looking after themselves and keeping trim.

They say you can't have your cake and eat it.

Been trying to lose weight since Feb.

Have gained 3 pounds.

Have exercise 6 days a week.

Tricky business. My conclusions are as follows:

Exercise makes no diff. It may even add to weight (muscle gain).
Eating fish,chicken and veg makes no diff.
Cutting out one meal a day makes no diff. May even slow metabolism.

Key: all down to individual metabolism. No 'one size fits all solution'.
