Me and Oprah can "blame" any diet, but it is our own failure to understand the root of this addiction and then try to correct it. Weight Watchers is NOT going to do it. I understand that now. However, I have to admit that Weight Watchers in its original form (back in the 70s) taught me about balanced nutrition and I thank them for that.

Eugene Boe's Cambridge handbook about how Dr. Howard in London understand all of these reduced diets. They are just a "set-up" and unless there is a life-threatening situation in one's life to force one to lose the weight, these other diets usually don't work.

It's the "appetite" that needs to be reined in. Cambridge does that for me.
