Who got hit with the stupid stick?

Okay I'm sick of people telling me why I'm over weight!!! The next person that tells me that all I need to do to lose weight is "eat less and move more" I going to punch them. I've been trying to lose weight for years. I've exercised eating low fat, low carb and just plain low calories. Nothing had ever really worked.

I always lost weight when I was pregnant. Then gained it all back plus more with in 3-4 months of having the baby. Once I gained 30lbs in a month I was exercising and eating 1700cal diet. I remember going into the Dr. with my activity and food logs. He looked at them then he looked at me and shook his head then said I had to be lying. I cried for days. His solution was to stop breast feeding my daughter and go on a intense diet in the hospital or have gastric bypass surgery. That's when I started to question the medical professions idea about losing weight.

It's not like I'm and uneducated sloth. I have taken nutrition classes in college I have a certificate in exercise education. I did everything that I was taught to do and the only thing that happened was I gained more weight.

I've wondered why people don't look at weight loss in a different way for a long time. I've decided we have been brain washed into thinking that the only reason people gain weight is that they are lazy and eat way to much. Every time there is a news story about someone losing large amount of weight or weighing 200+lbs. It's the same story they eat whole pizzas in one setting, eat at fast food restaurants every day and a box of doughnuts every day. First, if I eat more than one piece of pizza I get ill. I don't really like french fries. I don't like doughnuts.

Okay, so statistics say that out of 100 people who do succeed in losing weight 5 will keep it off. Everyone is told the same thing "eat less move more" and out of those who actually do succeed in losing weight by following the given rule there is a 95% failure rate. Would you take a medication your doctor prescribed that had a 95% failure rate. Why does everyone buy the "eat less, move more" hook line and sinker?

here has to be something more. I don't what the answer is but I know it's not what they have been selling for the last 50yrs.
