there are a few programs that can assist with changing habits and getting healthier, one I found is out of Canada ( ) I lost quite a bit of weight and created some better habits but not having ever been a dieter, and actually having a science background I had a lot of trouble with the discussion/support groups they set up on line. my god, women are fucked up by the exact kind of bullshit discussed in that piece. virtually everybody has stupid advice for fad eating, it was shocking. the program and most of the coaches were fine, it was the other participants that got on my nerves.
