Most weight loss programs operate under a “calories in, calories out” philosophy. They tell you to follow their simple methodology and you’ll succeed. Yet only about one in twenty people do succeed. Can you imagine an auto company whose safety rate was 5% staying in business? Or a technology company whose products worked only 5% of the time having any credibility? That’s the irony in weight loss – failure is the key to weight loss companies staying in business.
