- With that lead-in, I can't resist being the first to mention
- the article in the latest New England Journal that shows that
- obese people who profess to be eating <1200 Cal/day diets
- in fact eat far more than they report, enough to account
- for their inability to lose weight. They also exercise some
- 50% less than reported.
