extra! extra! :-)

Goodbye, Dr. Sharma, hello Lori Miller....

I did another re-shuffling of bloggers on my list.  It's been months since Dr. Sharma's column has had anything constructive to say on weight loss; he's been reporting on his efforts to change the classifications of overweight among doctors and thereby, their treatment, and to increase understanding in society at large.  While i'm sure these are worthwhile endeavors, for most of us they have very little utility.  He deals with pathologically overweight people, and seems to find dietary methods of weight-loss frequently inadequate for his patients; in many cases, he advocates surgery and looks forward to future drug therapies with hope. 

For "us" -- those who want to improve our own lives through what we put in our mouths and how we move our bodies, i don't see that as constructive.  Ta-ta, Doc -- you never misled us, that we were not your target audience....

I added several other blogs the other day, but didn't announce it -- these folks are sometimes brilliant, and i just didn't like giving them what LOOKED like second-class status in my "library" of references.  Welcome, ladies and gentlemen!  :-)

    1. thank you! mine are pretty much "random ravings," too -- i started doing this because i couldn't find another blog like mine, talking about what works and what doesn't, for a middle-aged woman with an imperfect metabolism....
