Ag Society... Hunger A Matter Of Willpower?

[MA-Caver]

Good article about diet, exercise and why people are still struggling with weight-loss.
I liked the first paragraph (underline/italics are mine)...

How many times do you hear people say, “I just need more willpower so I can lose weight”, or “I can’t stop eating”? I hear people say things like this quite often. The other day someone said the reason our culture has such a health epidemic is because we have problems with “self control”.

I always have one word for someone who says they want to lose weight... "run." They nod in agreement and sigh and go right back to finishing that double quarter-pounder with cheese and fries.

True more exercise will make for a bigger appetite... it is of course WHAT you eat to curb that hunger or satisfy that hunger is what makes the difference. Running 2 miles and doing 50 reps on a machine of sorts and then binging out on some a ice-cream sundae later the next day isn't going to cut it.

Self control... what a concept.
