Most believe knowing WHAT to eat is the most important factor when it comes to diet.

I grew up in rural PEI (yes, I know that is a redundant statement.)
When I was about 11 or 12 one of my chores was to mow our 4 acre property and a real love-hate relationship was quickly born.
Hate because it took forever, involved 7-8hrs of push-mowing and the mosquitoes were fierce. Love because it meant I got to drive the ride-on lawnmower – a big Kubota tractor with an industrial mower attached that could turn anything to mulch. A real country boy toy…
At least one-third of the North American population is obese and more than two-thirds overweight.
Conventional wisdom says its because we take in more energy (calories) than we burn. Implying that our unfit, unhealthy body is our fault, because we lack the discipline to walk away from our plates or commit to a calorie burning fitness regimen.
But, the problem isn’t you. It’s this misconception that losing weight is all about eating less and exercising more. That’s why you’ve lost and regained in the past, and that’s why you continue to struggle today.
You’ve likely heard of your friends or family detailing a new diet that they’re trying and it’s working great, only to hear about someone else explaining a completely different diet that is also working great!
How can this be?
How is it possible that completely contradictory diets still seem to work for some people?
