I know exactly how to eat to lose weight. I posted how in another thread today, and it works. I'm living proof, as I'm over 25 lbs lighter a year after changing my eating habits. My back trouble won't allow me much exercise these days so I had to find another way to stay lean. I found it, it works, and thus it is inarguable.*
*so of course some here will argue with me about it. :D

A couple of things. There is a big difference between needing to lose 25, 30 or even 50 pounds and needing to lose 150+ pounds. Also, for many people who are very overweight there is a lot more behind it than just learning how to eat correctly. Most people who have serious weight issues also have other problems and eating is the way they deal with them.
Some people smoke, some drink, some do drugs, some eat, it is often a symptom of a greater issue. So when a person loses weight on their own, but they don't deal with those issues those issues eventually show back up and they fall back into their old patterns because eating is how they deal with it.
