Summary: Weight loss questions, diet questions, exercise questions and even a question on diabetes - yes its the email question and answer show! Jeff gives a little report on his trip to Mexico and saw first hand how the obesity epidemic has even reached the small rural towns there. Not only have we exported obesity there, but also all of our cheap processed food. Then to make matters even worse, our weight loss gimmicks and scams are there too. With all of the listener feedback coming in, we thought that we would dedicate a show to catching up on all of the good questions that have been coming in. This tended to be a little bit longer show than normal, but we had a lot to say! Here are the short versions of the questions: 1. Will the McDonald's diet work without exercise, or will it even work at all in the long term? 2. Is it really necessary to keep a food diary to lose weight? 3. I burn less calories doing High Intensity Interval Training than my regular workouts. Is it going to hurt my weight loss? 4. What is with people who gain weight when they start running? 5. What are the real concerns with diet soda? 6. How do you get/stop/treat diabetes? 7. Is it worth it to get the Nintendo Wii? 8. Are these supplements and herbs helpful? 9. An easy way to get out of a weight loss plateau.
