Interesting that they think there are multiple types of obesity.

And you got the DS which is a hammer to the problem. Quite frankly until I see the weight kept off for 5 to 10 years from anyone, I don't buy any diet works. It's so hard. Even the woman who is eating protein first all the time, I rather have the DS and know I will be OK for the rest of my life.

Of course he was. He wants people to go to him and pay him money and he can help them. And he has helped some for sure and for some people he is right, but WLS is reasonable option.

The data is pretty clear now. It will be interesting to see opinions reaction to the data.
