        Drink water & juice only. Eat the food groups without greasy, salty flavoring. Run, lift and crunch. No smoking. Sad or happy, run

        I believe there's a strong behavioral component, people are eating too much of the wrong food & are less active. We all need help.

        Obesity must be addressed by everyone, whether it's a lack of willpower or a disease. "Eat to live, don't live to eat" & exercise.
