Many people can moderate- think long time successful WW members. <br /><br />But about 40% of obese (Food Junkies, Vera Tarman, MD) have some degree of Food addiction. For them the only sustainable way is to abstain from their triggers. Triggers vary, so abstaining plans vary a lot, too. <br /><br /> If health care professionals present abstaining as "dull" or "unsustainable" they've really cut out the population that is ailing the most- IMO. Not offering that tool to folks who can benefit. Whut, the WHUT?<br /><br />Overeaters anonymous, Food addiction anonymous, Paleo, Primal, LCHF, Keto, LowCarb USA, Diet Dr- Andreas Eenfelt- Sweden, Eric Westman, 2 Keto Dudes, Keto gains, Ketovangelis, No Sugars No Grains- Vinnie Tortorich, Better than Before - Gretchen Ruben, The Sugar Free Resolution- Karen Thomson (South Africa) and Vegans and Vegetarians- think Rich Roll- too abstain from foods that don't work for them.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by the blog. With the internet and support groups that are abstinence based<br /><br />Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454945489632370863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-39303974859018639722016-09-07T15:10:06.078-07:002016-09-07T15:10:06.078-07:00Oops.
