As one who has struggled with weight issues, I wholeheartedly agree with most of the article. But after pointing out that the metabolic set point derails most dieters in the long run, the conclusion is:
"Aamodt recommends mindful eating -- paying attention to signals of hunger and fullness, without judgment, to relearn how to eat only as much as the brain's weight-regulation system commands"
If the set point is a major component of the problem, how will listening to it help? Shouldn't the conclusion be that we need to learn to change the set point, not be mindful of a process that resists change?
Microsoft has a long history of releasing badly designed products- MSDOS 4,Windows Me, Vista, 8.0- and with the shift to updates, the public will lose their ability to vote with their wallets. Microsoft will do whatever it likes, and you will accept it or be unpatched. Microsoft has succeeded in ensuring that the customer has no power or voice.
