I spent the 1990's committed to low fat (25 grams a day) and exercise (45 minutes of floor exercises, 45 minutes on the mountain climbing machine which is totally as strenuous as it sounds.) Every day.

Got down to a consistent size 12, which looks good on me, and I considered myself a success.

Then I got sick and couldn't exercise. I could not eat a small enough amount to not pack on the pounds. We could put people into that semi-starvation experiment of Dr. Keys and they would lose weight. Doesn't mean that can be applied to the population, does it?

Was 70-80 pounds overweight (I don't own a scale) when I did Atkins, lost down to a size TEN in six months. It was amazing. Wasn't hungry and didn't exercise either.

There's many ways to lose weight, and I probably tried 90% of them. But maintaining never worked until Atkins, and from what I've seen, Weight Watchers can't say that.
