I figure if there WAS a pill or something to make you lose weight, Oprah would be thin. She is one of the richest women in the world, has all kinds of money and experts at her disposal, and still can't keep the weight off. So what hope is there for the rest of us? <jk> It is really hard, especially as we get older.
And don't allow me to commence on Dr. Oz - as OnebyOne, said "Dr. Oz has repeatedly said on his show he does NOT endorse any product and if his name is associated with a product it is false advertising." Well, DUH!! if he wasn't talking all the time about these magic pills and miracle cures, people wouldn't be sending out spam with his name on it!!
Let's face it, if you tuned in to Dr. Oz every day, and he said, "Eat less food" and "exercise more", he would lose a lot of viewers.
I like what Dave Barry says about diets - 200 years ago there was only one diet book, it was called, "Don't Eat So Much!!"
