Why don't people understand that quick fixes arent the answer?

Question

to their weight problems. Why does everybody want to grab a pill instead of putting forth the effort to lose weight and keep it off. All we all Lazy or what?

Answer 1

I call it the "McDonald's Syndrome". People want to be satisfied quick and easily. Just like they get at McDonald's. The get their food fast, and they don't even need to get out of their cars. So why should they work hard to get what they want?

Sure, they may lose weight on these fancy diets and by taking those magic pills, but what happens when they reach their goal weight? They stop the diet and quit taking the pills. And what happens after that? They gain all the weight back, and then some. It's easy to get down to a certain weight, but it is very hard to stay there, unless you eat right and exercise.

Answer 2

Well, slow fixes like Weight Watchers may not be the cure either. Over 90% of their members regain their weight and that's the same for all diets.

People don't want to make permanent changes in their food. They will continue to look for something "magic" that supposedly will let them eat what they like and be thin.

It doesn't exist, of course, but people will continue looking.

Answer 3

I agree with you. They'd rather sit around and eat and take a magic pill instead of getting off their a**es losing that weight themselves.

Answer 4

You got it...the ones that aren't lazy are just too darn busy in this world of ours. They only have time for a quick fix.

Answer 5

It's strange that all these people who moan about being too busy too exercise somehow find the time to watch hours of reality shows and answer questions on the internet.

Answer 6

Yes, we are all lazy
