Diet question with an answer that is guaranteed to work.?
I have seen many questions on dieting and have answered more than I care to remember with an answer that if followed, would guarantee they would lose weight. Why have I never received a best answer for “eat less, exercise more?” Do people really not want to lose weight or are they still looking for the magic pill?

It's what I like to call the McDonald's Syndrome. Society wants everything now and with very little work. And they will pay through the nose to get it. Instant gratification.
They don't want to eat less, because then they have to suffer a little with being hungry. They don't want to eat healthy food because the junk food they eat tastes better. And they don't want to exercise because that's like hard work.

There will always be those looking for the magic pill,,,People need to change their eating habits, and eat a healthier diet........I eat protein and lots and lots of fruits and veggies.....and I don't have a problem...but I learned this in a support group.....its not how much u eat....it's what u eat..............

Yep you hit it right on the nose. People only select best answer for the ones that they feel appease them the most.
But you're right. it is so plain and simple....eat less (healthier) and exercise more. :)

Because maybe they found something better then your way of loosing weight your answer my not have been what they are looking for. it not what you eat it how much you eat of it & exercise but you also have to look at what your eating & eat more vegies & fruit

Your "prescription" is correct, but most people don't know how to do what you suggest... they need a bit (or a lot) more detail for instance on how to eat less in a healthy way.
