Will Brink, is probably one of the smartest people out there in the fitness industry I know of, I own several of his books and they all make perfect and total sense. He wrote an article today Titled "The Big Picture of Permanent Weight Loss"

This has to be one of the best articles on weight loss I have ever seen. Some people will not like what he has to say but it is the truth.

To Quote Will to give you and excerpt:
So why don’t you see this type of honest information about the realities of long term weight loss more often? Let’s be honest here, telling the truth is not the best way to sell bars, shakes, books, supplements, and programs. Hell, if by some miracle everyone who read this article actually followed it, and sent it on to millions of other people who actually followed it, makers of said products could be in financial trouble quickly. However, they also know - as the man said - “there’s a sucker born every minute,” so I doubt they will be kept up at night worrying about the effects that I, or this article, will have on their business.
